TYPES OF DRY
POWDERS
 dry powder with sodium chloride
based (salt), C02 as propellant
 dry powder with sodium
carbonate based is intended
for sodium fire
 the powder maybe scooped from
buckets. It forms a crust on the
surface of the burning sodium to
smother the fire

Stored Pressure portable extinguishers – The
propellant gas is mixed in the cylinder. (air)
STORED PRESSURE PORTABLE
EXTINGUISHERS
 Controlled with a squeeze-grip trigger
on top of the container
 A pressure gauge indicates the condition of the
charge
 It may be used intermittently, to extend its
operational time
 monthly shaking and rolling to prevent compaction
due to ship’ s vibration

CARBON DIOXIDE CO2
 “dry ice” particles may form inside the cylinder when
left under extreme hot temperatures
 static electricity is produced when released through
hose and nozzle
 weighing and isotope method
 10% lose in weight must be recharge
 Liquefied “dry ice” under pressure
 should be stowed at temperatures below 54ºC to
keep internal pressure at safe level
 at about 57ºC the safety valves built are activated at
approximately 184 bars to release excess pressure
