    Summary of NFPA 10-13 Standard for Portable Fire Extinguisher

     CLASSIFICATION OF FIRES

    Class Definition PFE


    Class A Ordinary combustible materials, such as wood, cloth, paper, (AFFF &
    Fires. rubber, and many plastic. FFFP)

    Halon
    1211
    Class B Flammable liquids, combustible liquids, petroleum greases, (AFFF &
    Fires. tars, oil, oil-based paints, solvents, lacquers, alcohols, and FFFP)
    flammable gases.
    CO2

    Halon
    1211

    Halon
    1301
    Class C Involve energized electrical equipment. CO2
    Fires.
    Halon
    1211

    Halon
    1301
    Class D Combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, zirconium, Powder
    Fires. sodium, lithium, and potassium.
    Class K Cooking appliances that involve combustible cooking media Powder
    Fires. (vegetable or animal oil and fats)

     TYPES OF FIRE EXTINGUISHER


    1. AFFF & FFFP Fire Extinguishers
     AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) and FFFP (Film-Forming Fluoroprotein) are rated
    for use on both Class A & Class B Fires.
     Not suitable for use in freezing temperatures.
     Advantage : when it used on Class B flammable liquid fires of appreciable depth is
    the ability of the agent to float on and secure the liquid surface, which helps to
    prevent reignition.

    2. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Fire Extinguishers


     The PFE doesn’t leave a residue after use.
     The PFE discharged in the form of a gas/snow cloud, it has a relatively short range of
    3 ft to 8 ft (1 m to 2,4 m).
     This PFE isn’t recommended for outdoor use where windy conditions prevail or for
    indoor use in locations that are subject to strong air currents.

    3. Halogenated Agent Extinguisher


     The bromochlorodifluoromethane (Halon 1211)
    1. The PFE that is similar to carbon dioxide in that it is suitable for cold weather
    installation and leaves no residue.
     Bromotrifluoromethane (Halon 1301)

     CLASSIFICATION HAZARD
    1. LIGHT HAZARD
     Quantity and combustibility of Class A combustibles and Class B flammables are low
    and fires with relatively low rates of heat release are expected.
     Class B flammables typically expected to be present is less than 1 gal (3,8 L) in any
    room or area.

    2. ORDINARY HAZARD
     Quantity and combustibility of Class A combustibles and Class B flammables are
    moderate and fires with moderates rates of heat release are expected.
     Class B flammables typically expected to be present is from 1 gal to 5 gal (3,8 L to
    18,9 L) in any room or area.

    3. EXTRA HAZARD
     Quantity and combustibility of Class A combustibles and Class B flammables are high
    or where high amounts of Class B flammables are present and rapidly developing
    fires with high rates of heat release are expected.
     Class B flammables expected to be present is more than 5 gal (18.9 L) in any room
    or area.

     INSTALLATION HEIGHT
     Fire extinguishers having a gross weight not exceeding 40 lb (18.14 kg) shall be
    installed so that the top of the fire extinguishers is not more than 5 ft (1.53 m)
    above the floor.
     Fire extinguishers having a gross weight greater than 40 lb (18.14 kg) (except
    wheeled types) shall be installed so that the top of the fire extinguishers is not
    more than 3.5 ft (1.07 m) above the floor.
