,5. ANSI
Answer American National Standards Institute (rules and requirements for first aid)
6. Dry Chemical
Answer A powder inside an extinguisher
-composed of small particles (usually sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, o
ammonium phosphate)
-provides resistance to packing, caking
-ensures proper flow capabilities
7. Wet Chemical
Answer -water-based solution of organic or inorganic salts that form an
extinguishing agent
-liquid suffocates the fire
8. Clean Agent
Answer -Halogenated agent
-won't damage parts/equipment
-for B or C Fires

, Answer -CO2 cylinders
-pressure higher than 500 psi
10. Low-Pressure Cylinder
Answer -ABC cylinders
-cylinders containing fire extinguishing agent, compressed air, or compressed gases
-pressure of 500 psi or lower
11. Dry Powder
Answer -solid materials in powder form designed to extinguish Class D
combustible metal fires by crusting or smothering the metals
12. Extinguisher Inspection (monthly)
Answer -quick check that a fire extinguisher is in it's designated place, that it has not
been tampered with, and that there is no obvious physical damage
13. Extinguisher Maintenance (annual)
Answer -thorough examination intended to give assurance that a fire extinguisher
will operate effectively and safely
-to determine if physical damage or condition will prevent operation
-to determine if repair or replacement is necessary
