What should I do after using dry powder extinguishers?
Throw away and sell to a scrap purchase station.Many people are reluctant to throw away after using the fire extinguisher cylinder, think again after filling could save money, lost it. In fact, this is really a misunderstanding, fire extinguishers filling is not cheap, and no matter which fire equipment store filling can not be compared with the original new factory pressure, re filling fire extinguishing effect is far less than the original
In addition, from an economic point of view, filling is not worthwhile. An original dry powder fire extinguisher, the factory within 5 years without inspection. After 5 years, the annual inspection time, as long as the indication of pressure gauge is normal, you can still continue to use, has been to the factory for 10 years and scrapped; filling fire extinguisher is only valid for one year, and every year must be refilled, or not through the fire test. 5 years ago, the money spent more than a new fire extinguisher 2-3 times!
I am an emergency training instructor, often guide students to fire drills. With a large number of original and filling extinguishers, the contrast between the two is entirely different. The original pressure foot, range, long duration, fire quickly. The filling of the feeble spray a few times did not have, sometimes must also go to the front to spray to the fire.
