NFPA 10 Exam 2022
ANSI - Answer American National Standards Institute
Antifreeze Charge - Answer Loaded stream charge
Carbon Dioxide - Answer A colorless, odorless, electrically non-conductive inert has
that is a suitable medium for extinguishing class B and class C fires
Dry Chemical - Answer A powder composed of very small particles, usually sodium
bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate or ammonium phosphate-based with added
particulate material supplemented by special treatment to provide resistance to
packing, resistance to moisture absorption (caking), and the proper flow capabilities
Wet Chemical - Answer Normally am aqueous solution of organic or inorganic salts
or a combination there of that forms an extinguishing agent
Clean Agent - Answer Electrically non-conducting, volatile, or gaseous fire
extinguishant that does not leave a residue upon evaporation
Dry Chemical Recovery System - Answer A system that is constructed in a manner
that does not introduce foreign material into the agent being recovered and has a
means of visually inspecting the recovered agent for contaminants.
Halogenated Closed Recovery System - Answer A system that provides for the
transfer of halogenated agents between fire extinguishers, supply containers, and
recharge and recovery containers so that none of the halogenated agent escapes
into the atmosphere. Closed recovery systems for halogenated agents with an ozone
depleting potential (ODP) of 0.2 or greater should be listed for use with that agent.
The system's supply or recharge and recovery container is capable of maintaining
the agent in a sealed environment until it is reused or returned to the agent
manufacturer
High Pressure Cylinder - Answer Cylinders (and cartridges) containing nitrogen,
compressed air, carbon dioxide, or other gases at a pressure higher than 500 psi
(3447 kPa) at 70°F (21°C).
Low Pressure Cylinder - Answer Cylinders containing fire extinguishing agent
(medium), nitrogen, compressed air or other compressed gases at a service
pressure of 500 psi (3447 kPa) or lower at 70°F (21°C).
DOT - Answer Department of Transportation
Dry Powder - Answer Solid materials in powder or granular form designed to
extinguish Class D combustible metal fires by crusting, smothering or heat-
transferring means.
Electronic Monitoring - Answer A method of electronic communication (data
transmission) between an in-place fire extinguisher and an electronic monitoring
device/system.
