₹20,000.00

There are special water mist extinguishers that work well on a Type A & C fires. Such extinguishers are ideal for Class A fires where a potential Class C hazard exists. The misting nozzle provides safety from electric shock and reduces the scattering of burning materials. This type of extinguisher is not found in labs because the U of A stocks labs with a multipurpose dry chemical extinguisher, a type of extinguisher that works best for mixed fires.

Description

Water extinguishers are good for Type A Fires only. Type A fires are wood, paper or cloth fires. You cannot use a water extinguisher for a Type B fire,(flammable liquids), as flammable liquids are lighter than water and will float on the surface of the water. This will simply aid in the spread of the fire. You cannot use a water extinguisher on a Type C fire, (electrical fire), because you run the risk of receiving an electrical shock. Water is an electrical conductor so as the water spreads out, the chance of electrocution increases.
