About FIRE BOL
Standard fire extinguisher ball specifications typically require a lightweight (1.3 to 1.5 kg) spherical device filled with non-toxic mono-ammonium phosphate dry chemical powder. It automatically activates within 3 to 10 seconds upon flame contact, releases a 120140 dB warning signal, and extinguishes early-stage fires (Class A, B, and C) covering 8 to 10 square meters.
A comprehensive breakdown of the core technical specifications includes:
- Weight: Typically 1.3 kg to 1.5 kg (gross weight), making it light enough to easily throw or mount.
- Dimensions: Standard units have an outer diameter of roughly 147 mm to 152 mm, about the size of a volleyball.
- Extinguishing Agent: Filled with 1.25 kg to 1.3 kg of eco-friendly, non-toxic Mono-Ammonium Phosphate (ABC Dry Chemical Powder).
- Fire Classification: Effective on Class A (solid combustibles), Class B (flammable liquids), and Class C (electrical) fires.
- Activation Time: Bursts within 3 to 10 seconds upon direct contact with open flames.
- Audio Warning: Emits a loud 120 dB to 140 dB impulse noise burst upon activation to alert occupants.
- Coverage Area: Disperses dry chemical powder to cover an area of approximately 8 m to 10 m (or up to 1.8 to 3.0 cubic meters).
- Lifespan & Maintenance: Designed for a 5-year shelf life, requiring zero annual servicing, maintenance, or refilling.
- Certifications: ISO 9001 and CE compliance, with many Indian-market models conforming to IS-14609 standards.
These devices can be placed in passive mount brackets near high-risk zones (e.g., electrical circuit boards, kitchens, or server rooms) or thrown actively from a safe distance.
