Water
Water extinguishers are suitable for extinguishing Class A fires. They are mainly used for extinguishing textiles, wood. Most water extinguishers must not be used to extinguish live electrical equipment. However, in our offer you can find a water extinguisher 9l - V9Ce, which CAN extinguish electrical equipment. Mixing water with potash produces an antifreeze extinguishing agent and the extinguisher is therefore also suitable for outdoor areas where temperatures drop below freezing. We also offer such water extinguishers e.g. 9l - type V9 KT.
WHAT CLASSES OF FIRE ARE WATER EXTINGUISHERS DESIGNED FOR?
Water extinguishers are designed to extinguish the following classes of fire:
- Class A - solid or organic materials such as wood, coal, paper, textiles or plastics.
WHERE CAN WATER EXTINGUISHERS BE USED?
Type A water extinguishers are suitable for use in office buildings, libraries, waste management companies, museums. If installed in an environment with a risk of frost (e.g. warehouses, garages, outdoor areas) we recommend the use of water extinguishers with antifreeze, which ensure reliable functionality even at low temperatures.
WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE EXTINGUISHING CAPABILITY OF A FIRE EXTINGUISHER?
The extinguishing capacity is shown on the extinguisher by a combination of numbers and letters (e.g. 13A, 21A, etc.). The numbers indicate the size of the standard fire to be extinguished and the letters indicate the class of each fire. Thus, in the example 13A, the extinguishing power is 13 for fire class A. Fire class A has a total of 8 different levels for extinguishing power.
WHAT ARE THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF WATER EXTINGUISHERS?
Water extinguishers are usually manufactured with different cartridge capacities to suit different needs and applications. The extinguishers are also manufactured to withstand extreme temperatures, typically ranging from -30°C - +60°C, allowing them to be used in a variety of climatic conditions.
