Hi gd day sir...So during monthly inspection can i remove the cartridge and check the weight to ensure that the cartridge has nt dicharged over a period of time.
The same here and like for all others your video. You are doing not full visual inspection. You must check the whole unit which means that you must check the base/bottom of the extinguishers to check if there is no any damage or rust.
There is no cartridge for CO2 bcose it is pressurize no chance of pressure getting less no?? but extinguisher having cartridge there is chance of cartridge getting expired by mistake n someone can put the pin back but by gauge we will know the pressure no?
@@SailorVikas sir why they say co2 cant be used on electricity it's a gas no ?foam can't be used its liquid chemical but CO2 why it's not used they say electric cables ya equipment can get damage?how come we cant use?
@@astlefernandes1429 where did you see this ? In all areas where you have electrical panels like bridge, CCR, GALLEY, Switchboard room, emergency generator room, everywhere you will see CO2 extinguisher.
@@SailorVikassir I agree wat u told but I got this answer from one officer saying it's liquified gas under room temperature liquid can get damage electrical equipments
@@astlefernandes1429 yes but CO2 you will not direct it on equipment, you will have to smother the fire so even if you supply CO2 in surrounding area of fire it help extinguish fire.
Sir I wanted to know this pressurize gas like co2 extinguisher wen we trigger the lever we can use remaining but CO2 cartridge like foam dcp once we puncture the cartridge we can't use back the extinguisher no??
You can re-use the extinguisher after replacing the punctured cartridge in case of DCP and foam but cannot reuse CO2 extinguisher ( thus you need 100% spare of it ). For CO2 extinguisher you have to land it ashore for refilling.
Every portable extinguishers are having vent holes or not?, What is atmospheric valve?, What are they extinguishers are having pressure gauge?, how control valve is used to control the extinguishing agent of PFE, How valve head assembly is working. Regulations in PFE nozzle. Pls tell these questions sir, thanks in advance.
No every portable extinguisher doesn't have vent holes Cartridge type extinguishers have vent hole in cap assembly as when you strike the plunger it punctures the cartridge of extinguisher and try to expell the extinguishing media If there is any choke/obstruction for expelling the extinguishing media then in order to release the pressure build up in extinguisher vent hole is provided
Related to atmospheric valve what I guess is about snifter valve located in cap assembly Snifter valve is located in cap assembly of extinguisher for water and foam and that to for cartridge type only so that when the extinguisher is placed near any heat I mean exposed directly to sun light then those liquid start to boil and due to internal pressure those liquid will be expelled out with operating the extinguisher In order to prevent that and release those presuure snifter valve is present in cap assembly which releases the pressure build up inside
Stickers can be ordered from makers but that is tedious job to order and obtain it from makers for making supplies for just sticker , thus you can laminate proper sticker from makers manual and post it on extinguisher if inspection is very near and u don't have time , and can raise a requisition of new fire extinguisher and keep it ready to show if anyone points out the faded markings
Can you please tell us about DCP. On which class of fire we can use DCP. Please if possible can u load just photo of DCP mentioning class of fire on which it can be use.. please
As per ISGOTT 6, PAGE 101, Dry chemical can be used in all types of fire like class A, B,C,D,E but mostly dry chemical is used in LPG ships, that is class C, Also do keep in mind that Dry chemical inhibits the chemical reaction to extinguish fire.
Both are same thing...dip tube is a tube having opening from bottom...it's dipped inside dcp or foam liquid ....when pressure is created by punchtured CO2 cartridge, dcp or foam comes out thru dip tube.
Yes they do open up ...for powder and foam, they remove the contents in bucket, check for caking or any other problems, inspect inside extinguisher and they put the same content back... In my case the CO2 cartridge of few extinguisher were found fallen down inside extinguisher, when they opened up the extinguisher.
And yes for recharging u have to land it ashore ....they will recharge, carryout out 5 yearly Inspection and they will put 5yearly Inspection tag and return u back the extinguisher.
It differs from manufacturer to manufacturer, some have 5 yr and some have 10 yr, so you have to comply with least period when compared between flag state requirements and manufacture requirements.
It's very simple, rotate cartridge anticlockwise to remove old punctured cartridge and rotate new cartridge clockwise in its thread to fit back new cartridge
Well pipe which is internal ? That can b inspected after opening the extinguisher from top, but it's annually Inspected by shore...no requirement to inspect inside extinguisher
Their is no specific number mentioned in SOLAS convention however it should meet basic requirements like CO2 extinguishers in spaces where we have electric machineries and DCP/Foam in accomodation and so on.
@@SailorVikas if the manufacturer didn't mention how often should to replace the extinguishing agents ,then how often should we to refill the fire extinguisher
@@jianmingzhou5156 if you check in extinguisher itself in bottom area, replace or refill the contents of extinguisher is written, rare chances that you won't find it, if not mentioned, than follow flag state requirements and it will be mostly 5 years
So sir i must have 100% spare co2 fire extinguisher, and 100% first ten fire extinguisher ( it mean 10 pcs fire extinguisher like foam extinguisher ready to use for example) and 50% of other fire extinguisher like dry powder of total onboard dp fire extinguisher i have? And for catridge ad refill i must have 100% of total our fire extinguisher onboard, am i right?
Spare charges shall be provided for 100% of the first 10 extinguishers and 50% of the remaining fire extinguishers capable of being recharged onboard. Not more than 60 total spare charges are required. For fire extinguishers which can not be recharged onboard, additional portable fire extinguishers of the same quantity, type, capacity and number as determined in above shall be provided.
@@SailorVikas But the one with catridge system will be havimg one imdication right showimg the green and red zones .i am asking about that gauge may i know where that gauge will.be connected ?
If u have 15 extinguishers of foam than 1st ten extinguishers (i.e.10 No.s) should have 100% spares ( foam liquid + cartridges) and 50% spares of rest extinguishers
Yes their is a requirement. Requirement depends on flag state. For eg. Singapore flag says to discharge one each type of extinguisher, which can be recharged onboard ONE YEARLY, however if company policy says you have to discharge every 2 months so you have to discharge every 2 months and maintain proper records. In complying with company requirements, flag state requirement is fulfilled so no need to discharge extinguisher separately.
@@SailorVikas how to do discharge test for pressure stored extinguisher. as they can't recharge on board. discharge test is to choose one extinguisher of same type or all all the extinguisher need to do discharge test
Only those extinguishers which can be recharged onboard has to be discharged. CO2 cannot be refilled on ship so no need to discharge. Similarly if you have pressurised DCP or FOAM Extinguisher than no need of discharging that, but if it is rechargeable onbd than surely you have to discharge as per flag state and company requirements

Refilling is very simple. In makers manual it would be written the foam:water ratio to be mixed. And foam liquid u ll get In small cans for each extinguisher, so make just mix the ratio in a bucket and pour it into empty extinguisher, connect new cartridge and box pack it.

What is the meaning of that green color circle on the cap of fire extinguisher?
In annual inspection do they open extinguisher ?
Then what about foam or powder....same is used ? ...... as recharging is done only after 5 years.
