We havetrained personnel who are ready to assistyou with your fire protection Selection GuideTo provide the best protection of life and property from fire, it is critical that the properextinguisher selection be made. The classification and rating of an extinguisher arevital pieces of information for making this National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has established the requirements forthe number, size, placement, inspection, maintenance,and testingof portable fire Extinguishers .

3 These requirements are contained in NFPA 10, Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers .Within this standard it is stated that the selection of fire Extinguishers for a givensituation is determined by the following: the character and size of the fires anticipated to be encountered. the construction and occupancy of the property to be protected. the ambient temperature of the area where the extinguisher will be located. other factors that may dictate the selection of a particular type of ClassificationsGenerally fire Extinguishers are selected based on the hazard(s) they are intended toprotect. Classifications have been established to categorize these hazards as follows:Class A: Fires involving ordinary combustible materials such as wood,cloth, paper, rubber and many B:Fires involving flammable liquids, combustible liquids, petroleumgrease, tars, oils, oil based paints, solvents, lacquers, alcohols, and C: Fires that involve energized electrical D: Fires involving combustible metals such as magnesium,sodium, potassium and K.

4 Fires involving combustible cooking media such as vegetableoils, animal oils and HazardsThe NFPA classifies occupancies as eitherLow, Moderate or High hazard occupanciesarelocations where the total amount ofClass A combustible materials and ClassB flammables, including furnishings,decorations, and contents, is of minorquantity. This can include some buildingsor rooms occupied as offices, classrooms,churches, assembly halls, guest roomareas of hazard occupancies arelocations where the total amount ofClass A combustibles and Class Bflammables are present in greateramounts than expected under lowhazard occupancies could consist ofdining areas, mercantile shops and alliedstorage, light manufacturing, researchoperations, auto showrooms, parkinggarages and hazard occupancies arelocations where the total amount of ClassA combustibles and Class B flammablespresent, in storage, production, use,finished product, or combination thereof,is over and above those expected inoccupancies classed as moderate occupancies could consist ofwoodworking; vehicle repair; aircraft andboat servicing.

5 Cooking areas; individualproduct display showrooms; productconvention center displays; and storageand manufacturing processes such aspainting, dipping, and coating , includingflammable liquid :If the lower B rating is installed then themaximum travel distance to the extinguisher isreduced from 50 to 30 determine the overall A rating necessaryfor protection of an occupancy, divide thetotal sq. ft. by the Unit of A in the abovetable. For example if a low occupancybuilding has a total sq. ft. of 30, 30,000 by 3000 (Unit of A) = in this example the buildingwould require a minimum of five 2-Arated Of ExtinguisherOccupanciesMin.

RatingsAlong with the classification, the numericalrating of an extinguisher is an importantfactor in the proper selection of anextinguisher. The rating is a measure ofthe extinguishing potential of the fireextinguisher and is developed on thebasis of comparative fire Class Aand Class Bclassificationscarry numerical ratings. Basically thehigher the number associated with theclassification letter, the larger the fire the extinguisher has the potential Afire tests involve two types offire, a wood crib fire test and a woodpanel fire test.

7 For example to achieve a 3-A rating an extinguisher mustsuccessfully extinguish a burning woodcrib measuring 29 x 29 x 27 and awood panel measuring 12 x 12 .Class Bfire tests involve square panscontaining flammable example to achieve a 40-B rating anextinguisher must successfully extinguisha burning pan measuring 100 sq. are no numerical ratings associatedwith Class C, D or Class C, the electrical nonconductingcharacteristics of the agent are verified,not its extinguishing Class D, only the amount of agentand application method needed tocontrol a metal fire of a certain size andtype is Class K, the extinguisher mustextinguish 80 lbs. of burning cooking oil in a commercial deep fat fryer andcause no splashing of flaming oil outsidethe ABC extinguisher is rated3-A:40-B:C.

8 The 3 and the 40indicate the extinguishingpotential for Class A and ClassB fires respectively. The Cindicates that the agent willnot conduct electricity.
