How Long Can a Car Fire Extinguisher Be Stored?
1 Answers
Car fire extinguishing agents can typically be stored for about 1 year. Below is some information regarding car fire extinguishers: 1. Replacement conditions: Car fire extinguishers come with a pressure gauge. When the needle points within the green range, it indicates normal pressure and proper functioning. If it points within the yellow range, it means the pressure is too high, and if within the red range, the pressure is too low. Both scenarios can affect the extinguishing performance and warrant immediate replacement. 2. Hazards of prolonged non-use: Car fire extinguishers contain various chemical substances. Over time, these may deteriorate, not only losing their extinguishing capability but also potentially corroding the container. This increases the risk of explosion when used. Even if stored unused for a long time, there are certain safety hazards.
