Types of Fire Detectors
Generally fires are preceded by generation of heat (rise of temperature) and generation of smoke. Hence heat, smoke and flame detection systems must be used to alert personnel, shutdown equipment and...

Importance of Fire & Gas Detection System
Industrial processes increasingly involve the use and the manufacture of highly dangerous substances, particularly toxic and combustible gases. Inevitably, inadvertent occasional escape of gas may occur, which can create a...
How to identify location of Fire Detectors
Fire detectors are designed to respond at an early stage to one more of the four major characteristics of combustion, heat, smoke, flame or gas. No single type of detector...
Infrared Open Path Gas Detectors Working Principle
An alternative method of measuring gas concentration is based on absorption of infrared (IR) radiation at certain wavelengths as it passes through a volume of gas. Devices using this technology have a...

Argonite/Co2 Flooding System Master & Slave Cylinder Operation Generally we found series of cylinders installed near to control rooms, turbines, electronic/electrical equipment etc… to extinguish the fire in case of...
Basics of Sprinkler System
The automatic sprinkler consists of assembly of a liquid filled glass bulb fitted in brass or bronze yoke with an deflector at outlet and threaded inlet connection. The glass bulbs...
What is Gas Suppression Systems ?
Gaseous fire suppression is a term to describe the use of inert gases and chemical agents to extinguish a fire. Also called Clean Agent Fire Suppression. These Agents are governed...
Basics of Fire Fighting Hydrant Systems
Fire Fighting Hydrant Systems are the most commonly used systems, in many residential and industrial projects. If you have ever seen a “Red” colour pipe, circulating around a building or...
Basics of Foam Fire Fighting System
Fires on Hydrocarbon are more frequent due to the volatility of the hydrocarbon and its property to not dissolve with water and lighter than water the fire extinguishing of hydrocarbon...
Deluge Valve Working Principle
What is a Deluge Valve ? Deluge Valves are used in conditions that require for quick application of large volumes of water and, for that reason, are often integral components in...
