Your extinguisher must undergo routine checks and maintenance in order to ensure perfect functionality. Understanding this is instrumental when it comes to effectively controlling and extinguishing fires in your home or property in KSA.
A fire extinguisher consists of a large aerosol can typically containing two substances: a solid, gas, or liquid substance, and a propellant. Propellants are pressurized chemicals that eject fire-fighting substances from their cylinders when the handle is pressed.
There are four major extinguishers, and using the right extinguisher at the right time is as essential as understanding how extinguishers work. Addressing a fire with the wrong extinguisher may cause more harm than good.
A failing extinguisher can have devastating consequences. Therefore, you must routinely inspect and maintain its cylinder to keep it in a perfect working state. Below are a few practices to follow in order to properly maintain your cylinder:
If any of these aren’t as they should be, contact a professional and licensed fire extinguisher maintenance company for possible fixes.
Apart from the monthly visual checks, ensure you service your extinguishers within 06 months – allow our experts at Shuaa Al Zahra Safety Company to handle the process for you. After servicing, ensure each extinguisher has a tag showing the last inspection and service date for proper referencing. You may need to repair or replace any extinguisher as recommended by the maintenance company used.
Refilling your cylinder is an important apart of fire extinguisher maintenance, ensuring the device is always available to work when you need it most. However, understanding the importance of refilling is entirely different from knowing when a refill is needed. Here are several reasons to refill your extinguishers:
You must refill fire extinguishers immediately after each use.
You must schedule routine refilling of extinguishers throughout their lifespan, regardless of if they have been used or unused. Such refilling typically takes place every six to twelve years from the manufacture date.
Damages, dents, and other environmental factors may result in depressurizations. Hence, you must examine and refill your extinguishers whenever any of these is detected.
Having understood when to refill your cylinder, it is just as important to learn the ways to refill your cylinder when the need arises.
We at Shuaa Al Zahra Safety Company, have the required training, knowledge, and tools to help you achieve this.
Understanding how to maintain and refill your fire extinguisher is essential to keeping your home or commercial property safe from fire damage. Reach out to our experts with any questions you may have when it comes to ensuring your fire safety.
The process of refilling fire extinguishers at Vibrill Firesafe Private Limited typically involves the following steps:
1. Inspection: The first step the technician does is visually inspect the fire extinguisher to ensure that it is in good condition and does not have any visible damage or leaks. The technician will also check the pressure gauge to ensure that the pressure inside the extinguisher is within the recommended range.
2. Discharge: Next, the technician will discharge the remaining contents of the fire extinguisher by pressing down on the handle until all the extinguishing agent has been expelled. This is typically done in a designated area or a special machine designed to capture the expelled agent.
3. Dismantling: Once the extinguisher has been discharged, the technician will dismantle it to access the internal parts. This involves unscrewing the head, separating the internal components, and cleaning them thoroughly.
4. Refilling: The next step is to refill the extinguisher with the appropriate type and amount of extinguishing agent. The technician will carefully measure and pour the agent into the extinguisher, taking care not to overfill it.
5. Reassembly: After refilling the extinguisher, the technician will reassemble all the internal components, replace the head, and ensure that all the seals and fittings are secure and tight.
6. Pressure Testing: Once reassembled, the technician will pressurize the extinguisher to the recommended pressure level using a special machine or gauge. This ensures that the extinguisher is ready to use and can deliver the correct amount of agent when needed.
7. Quality Check: Finally, the technician will perform a quality check to ensure that the extinguisher is functioning properly and meets all safety standards. This includes checking the pressure gauge, testing the discharge mechanism, and inspecting the exterior of the extinguisher for any damage or defects.
8. Weighting : Fire extinguishers are an important part of fire safety. Refilling them can be a hassle and often leaves customers unsure if they’re getting the right amount of agent. That’s why we’ve developed a revolutionary new refilling process that includes a final step of measuring the weight of the extinguisher.
