[@kamilagiewka9604]

The same here and like for all others your video. You are doing not full visual inspection. You must check the whole unit which means that you must check the base/bottom of the extinguishers to check if there is no any damage or rust.

[@syeddanishislam6873]

Can you please tell us about DCP. On which class of fire we can use DCP. Please if possible can u load just photo of DCP mentioning class of fire on which it can be use.. please

[@SailorVikas]

As per ISGOTT 6, PAGE 101, Dry chemical can be used in all types of fire like class A, B,C,D,E but mostly dry chemical is used in LPG ships, that is class C, Also do keep in mind that Dry chemical inhibits the chemical reaction to extinguish fire.

[@IYARKAI_KADHALAN_]

Hi sir I heard that in portable extinguishers there will be relief holes ? Can anybody brief me about that location and working

[@SailorVikas]

Done with red marking, present near nozzle regulator

[@astlefernandes1429]

Sir I wanted to know this pressurize gas like co2 extinguisher wen we trigger the lever we can use remaining but CO2 cartridge like foam dcp once we puncture the cartridge we can't use back the extinguisher no??

[@SailorVikas]

You can re-use the extinguisher after replacing the punctured cartridge in case of DCP and foam but cannot reuse CO2 extinguisher ( thus you need 100% spare of it ). For CO2 extinguisher you have to land it ashore for refilling.

[@josephprakash9682]

Every portable extinguishers are having vent holes or not?, What is atmospheric valve?, What are they extinguishers are having pressure gauge?, how control valve is used to control the extinguishing agent of PFE, How valve head assembly is working. Regulations in PFE nozzle. Pls tell these questions sir, thanks in advance.

[@IndianOverlanderLife]

No every portable extinguisher doesn't have vent holes Cartridge type extinguishers have vent hole in cap assembly as when you strike the plunger it punctures the cartridge of extinguisher and try to expell the extinguishing media If there is any choke/obstruction for expelling the extinguishing media then in order to release the pressure build up in extinguisher vent hole is provided

[@IndianOverlanderLife]

Related to atmospheric valve what I guess is about snifter valve located in cap assembly Snifter valve is located in cap assembly of extinguisher for water and foam and that to for cartridge type only so that when the extinguisher is placed near any heat I mean exposed directly to sun light then those liquid start to boil and due to internal pressure those liquid will be expelled out with operating the extinguisher In order to prevent that and release those presuure snifter valve is present in cap assembly which releases the pressure build up inside

[@IndianOverlanderLife]

Related to pressure guage stored pressure type are fitted with pressure gauge

[@josephprakash9682]

How to identify any cracks in the internal pipe of the PFE.

[@SailorVikas]

Well pipe which is internal ? That can b inspected after opening the extinguisher from top, but it's annually Inspected by shore...no requirement to inspect inside extinguisher

[@studentamit4610]

Foam type extinguisher color code cream

[@rajatkumar4281]

How many extinguishers to be carried on board for 50m 100m 150m 200m vessel

[@SailorVikas]

Their is no specific number mentioned in SOLAS convention however it should meet basic requirements like CO2 extinguishers in spaces where we have electric machineries and DCP/Foam in accomodation and so on.

[@josephprakash9682]

What is the difference between dip tube & Siphon tube in portable extinguisher.

[@SailorVikas]

Both are same thing...dip tube is a tube having opening from bottom...it's dipped inside dcp or foam liquid ....when pressure is created by punchtured CO2 cartridge, dcp or foam comes out thru dip tube.

[@josephprakash9682]

Sir, pls tell me every portable extinguisher is having safety pin or only similar portable extinguisher is having safety pin?

[@SailorVikas]

Yes every portable extinguisher should have safety pin to prevent accidental release.

And for catridge ad refill i must have 100% of total our fire extinguisher onboard, am i right?

[@tolgahanhossoz3258]

Spare charges shall be provided for 100% of the first 10 extinguishers and 50% of the remaining fire extinguishers capable of being recharged onboard. Not more than 60 total spare charges are required. For fire extinguishers which can not be recharged onboard, additional portable fire extinguishers of the same quantity, type, capacity and number as determined in above shall be provided.

In annual inspection do they open extinguisher ? Then what about foam or powder....same is used ? ...... as recharging is done only after 5 years.

[@SailorVikas]

Yes they do open up ...for powder and foam, they remove the contents in bucket, check for caking or any other problems, inspect inside extinguisher and they put the same content back... In my case the CO2 cartridge of few extinguisher were found fallen down inside extinguisher, when they opened up the extinguisher.

[@SailorVikas]

And yes for recharging u have to land it ashore ....they will recharge, carryout out 5 yearly Inspection and they will put 5yearly Inspection tag and return u back the extinguisher.

@@SailorVikas why the lable writted 5 yearly hydrostatic test. it isn't should be 10yearly?

[@SailorVikas]

It differs from manufacturer to manufacturer, some have 5 yr and some have 10 yr, so you have to comply with least period when compared between flag state requirements and manufacture requirements.

Pls clear that is there any requirement to discharge extinguishers onboard ?

[@SailorVikas]

Yes their is a requirement. Requirement depends on flag state. For eg. Singapore flag says to discharge one each type of extinguisher, which can be recharged onboard ONE YEARLY, however if company policy says you have to discharge every 2 months so you have to discharge every 2 months and maintain proper records. In complying with company requirements, flag state requirement is fulfilled so no need to discharge extinguisher separately.

[@SailorVikas]

Only those extinguishers which can be recharged onboard has to be discharged. CO2 cannot be refilled on ship so no need to discharge. Similarly if you have pressurised DCP or FOAM Extinguisher than no need of discharging that, but if it is rechargeable onbd than surely you have to discharge as per flag state and company requirements
