The ABC Powder Portable Fire Extinguisher (AS-6) is a high-capacity and highly effective fire safety device designed for tackling medium to large fire risks in commercial, industrial, and public environments. It contains multipurpose dry chemical powder, typically mono ammonium phosphate, which is capable of extinguishing Class A (solid materials), Class B (flammable liquids), and Class C (gases and electrical equipment) fires, making it a versatile and widely used fire protection solution. The extinguisher operates on a stored pressure system using nitrogen gas, allowing immediate discharge, and works by smothering flames, interrupting the combustion process, and cutting off oxygen supply.
Constructed with a robust mild steel cylinder and coated with corrosion-resistant epoxy finish, the AS-6 type is equipped with a squeeze lever valve, pressure gauge, internal discharge tube, and a flexible hose with nozzle for better reach and controlled discharge. It is generally ISI marked as per IS:15683 standards and performs efficiently within a temperature range of approximately -30°C to +60°C, ensuring reliability in harsh conditions.
