6.5 kg CO₂ Fire Extinguisher

The 6.5 kg CO₂ Fire Extinguisher is a larger-capacity carbon-dioxide extinguisher intended for suitable flammable-liquid fire risks and electrical-equipment risks where CO₂ is appropriate. Its clean discharge can be useful where powder residue is undesirable, although CO₂ must not be selected without considering ventilation, occupancy and the particular fire hazard.

The supplied technical details list a 55B fire rating, wheel-type operating valve and seamless IS:7285 cylinder. Other listed specifications are a minimum jet length of 2 metres, minimum discharge of 95%, minimum discharge time of 20 seconds, operating temperature from -30°C to +55°C and test pressure of 250 kgf/cm². The listed standards include IS 16018 for the extinguisher and IS:15222 for CO₂ gas.

Choose this capacity only after considering the required rating, expected hazard, access and the site’s fire-safety plan. CO₂ can displace oxygen in enclosed areas, and the discharge horn becomes very cold. Ensure appropriate training and routine inspection.
