Like all other products, fire extinguishers also have an expiration date, and need to be recharged and replaced. Therefore, knowing the expiration date of the fire extinguisher and when to refill it is a necessity that everyone must understand. Because if the expiration date is expired, the fire extinguisher will not be able to extinguish the burning fire. The following article we will guide you how to know the expiry date as well as how long it takes to refill the bottle....
1. It is very important to charge and charge the extinguisher at the right time.
This will help you get fire fighting equipment that ensures high safety. Depending on the type of bottle, the material and the structure of the bottle, the time it takes to charge and charge the battery is different. However, to ensure quality, you should strictly follow the principles of use and maintenance of the types of fire extinguishers you have.
Extinguishers are made from extinguishing compounds that have a limited shelf life. Once the expiration date has passed, these substances will no longer be effective. Therefore, we need to pay attention to the expiration date, which is also the warranty period stamped on the bottle stamp. With 100% new fire extinguishers, the warranty period is 12 months, and with used fire extinguishers, the warranty period when recharging is only 6 months. Therefore, we need to pay attention to this issue when using fire extinguishers.
2. What is the shelf life of a fire extinguisher?
For powder extinguishers, when the hand of the meter points to the red line, we know this extinguisher has expired and needs to be refilled. As for the Co2 gas tank, when we see that the weight of the tank has decreased a lot, it is also time to refill it when we put the tank. As a rule, we should check the fire extinguisher once a year. For places where high flammability is required such as fuel and chemical depots, they must be regularly checked and recharged every 6 months / time according to the warranty period to be able to ensure safety as well as always in a ready-to-use position.
Expired fire extinguishers usually have the following signs:
- Out of warranty period
- The bottle has lost its seal
- Used bottle type.
- Type of tank with pressure drop
- Or the bottle has been brought out to try.
- Or in case the bottle is old and rusty, it should also be replaced with a new one to ensure safety when using.
