What is the testing period for gas fire extinguishing cylinders?

How long is the testing period for gas fire extinguishing cylinders? The commonly used heptafluoropropane, ig541, and carbon dioxide in gas fire extinguishing systems have been widely used in various industries. Gas fire extinguishing systems have been used for fire protection in data centers, archive warehouses, distribution rooms, painting workshops, energy storage containers, and spraying production lines. Gas fire extinguishing steel cylinders may experience pressure drop on the pressure gauge, corrosion on the outer wall of the cylinder, and thinning of the inner wall during long-term use, which may lead to the risk of cracking and explosion of the cylinder, causing property damage and casualties. In the mild case, fines may be imposed, while in the severe case, relevant personnel may have legal responsibility.uishing cylinder is insufficient, it will be reflected on the pressure gauge of the fire extinguishing agent cylinder group, that is, the pointer on the pressure gauge is in the red area. If a fire occurs at this time, the heptafluoropropane gas cannot be quickly and effectively sprayed into the protective area due to insufficient pressure, which may lead to delayed firefighting and ultimately failure, resulting in huge economic losses and personal injury.

Do carbon dioxide cylinders require regular testing?

Fire cylinders, including heptafluoropropane steel cylinders, high-pressure carbon dioxide steel cylinders, and IG541 mixed gas steel cylinders, may become thinner due to external pollution and corrosion after prolonged use. They may also crack due to moisture or other impurities inside the cylinder that corrode the cylinder. If exposed to high heat, the pressure inside the container will increase. If the fire cylinder is not detected in a timely manner, there is a risk of cracking and explosion, posing significant safety hazards. In severe cases, it can endanger surrounding personnel and cause casualties, and relevant personnel will also bear corresponding legal responsibilities.

Manufacturer Reveals Fire Gas Cylinder Inspection Process

1. Release of on-site fire alarm The construction leader and main construction personnel will come to the site to clarify the construction requirements, remove the wiring on the solenoid valve, and if the host alarms, press the mute button. 2. Equipment disassembly and transportation ① Remove the starting cylinder (or active cylinder) starting copper pipe nut, starting cylinder solenoid valve and circuit, and starting pipeline in sequence; ② Remove the high-pressure hoses, pilot valves, wear the cylinder head cap, remove the cylinder clamp, remove the cylinder in sequence, and place the dismantled equipment in a standardized position designated by Party A;

How often is heptafluoropropane filled?

Heptafluoropropane is one of the commonly used gas fire extinguishing systems, commonly used in precision instrument equipment or important protective areas such as computer rooms, distribution rooms, archives, energy storage containers, and other areas. But some customers may be concerned about the maintenance of heptafluoropropane and how often it should be filled. This article explains this issue through relevant regulations.

How is heptafluoropropane tested for filling?

When the pressure of the heptafluoropropane fire extinguishing cylinder is insufficient, it will be reflected on the pressure gauge of the fire extinguishing agent cylinder group, that is, the pointer on the pressure gauge is in the red area. If a fire occurs at this time, the heptafluoropropane gas cannot be quickly and effectively sprayed into the protective area due to insufficient pressure, which may lead to delayed firefighting and ultimately failure, resulting in huge economic losses and personal injury.

How long does heptafluoropropane gas expire?

The validity period of heptafluoropropane medicament itself is one hundred years, a long time. According to China's "Gas Cylinder Safety Technical Supervision Regulations", it is explicitly stipulated that the service life of seamless steel splicing gas cylinders is 30 years, and the service life of welded steel gas cylinders is 20 years. The validity period of heptafluoropropane is much longer than the service life of the gas cylinder. The shelf life of heptafluoropropane gas cylinder machinery and equipment generally depends on the characteristics and quality of the gas cylinder, and generally ranges from 20 to 30 years.
