Stored Pressure Foam Fire Extinguisher
This stored pressure foam fire extinguisher carries a 6L charge of AFFF mechanical foam in a carbon steel body. It is aimed at class A solids and class B flammable liquids, discharges over 20-180 sec and expels 95% of its charge. We list it as the Stored Pressure Mechanical Foam Type Fire Extinguisher in the general line of our fire fighting equipments range.
How AFFF foam works
AFFF stands for aqueous film forming foam. When it lands on a burning liquid, it spreads a thin film of water and foam across the surface, which cuts off air and holds back the vapour that feeds the flames. On solids such as wood or cloth, the water in the foam also cools the fuel.
That makes foam a sound choice for garages, fuel stores, kitchens without deep fat fryers, labs and workshops that handle oils and paints.
Specification of the stored pressure foam fire extinguisher
- Extinguisher type: mechanical foam (AFFF) based
- Capacity: 6L
- Material: carbon steel
- Discharge time: 20-180 sec
- Discharge: 95%
The wider class typically uses a manual squeeze lever and stored pressure or gas cartridge discharge, often in a mild steel or aluminium cylinder of 1 to 9 kg/L. This model is confirmed as stored pressure foam in carbon steel.
How to use it
The operating steps printed on the unit are:
- Use upright
- Pull out the safety pin
- Free the hose
- Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire
- Squeeze the handles
Do not use a water-based foam unit on live electrical equipment unless the label says it is tested for that. Rules on selection and service are set out in the NFPA codes and standards.
Ordering, Incoterms and documents
Distributors and tender buyers usually ask us for label language, bracket type and refill foam in the same order, and we confirm these before production. We quote on EXW, FOB, CFR or CIF terms from China to Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and other markets; our shipping and export documents page explains each term.
Where live electrical risks sit next to liquids, a 6.5 kg CO2 type fire extinguisher is a common partner; the full range of fire fighting equipment lists every extinguisher we export.
