The ABC Powder Portable Fire Extinguisher (AS-2) is a compact and efficient fire safety device with a 2 kg capacity, designed for quick response to moderate fire risks in residential, commercial, and industrial environments. It is filled with multipurpose dry chemical powder, typically mono ammonium phosphate, which is highly effective on Class A (solid combustibles), Class B (flammable liquids), and Class C (gases and electrical equipment) fires. The extinguisher operates on a stored pressure system using nitrogen gas, allowing immediate discharge when activated, and works by smothering flames, interrupting the chemical reaction, and cutting off oxygen supply.
It is generally manufactured with a corrosion-resistant mild steel cylinder, fitted with a squeeze lever valve, pressure gauge, discharge nozzle, and wall mounting bracket for ease of use and installation. The AS-2 type extinguisher is ISI marked as per IS:15683 standards and operates effectively within a temperature range of approximately -10°C to +55°C, ensuring reliability in various environmental conditions.
