How Important are Cylinders to Firefighting Heroes

Recently, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Steaming on the bottom and grilling on top. The weather is also reminding us that the fire season is coming! Fire prevention measures need to be vigilant. I don't know if you have noticed that firefighters will enter and exit with a gas cylinder on the fire scene.

Fire Fighting System Gas Cylinder

Here comes the question: what is that cylinder? Ordinary respirator? oxygen cylinder? Gas Cylinder Manufacturers saw many partners who said they thought it was an oxygen cylinder.

Here, we must seriously clarify that it is not an ordinary steel cylinder, nor is it an oxygen cylinder. If an oxygen cylinder is used in the fire, it will explode!! The firefighter is carrying a gas cylinder called an air breather (air respirator).

Why do firefighters breathe freely in heavy smoke?

In fact, they rely on the air respirator they carry. The air respirator is a self-contained open air respirator, which can ensure that users can breathe normally in an environment of hypoxia or high concentration of toxic gas. The air breathing apparatus commonly used by firefighters is called a positive pressure air breathing apparatus.

This equipment can help firefighters or rescuers to extinguish fires safely and effectively in various environments such as smoke and poisonous gas, and can also be used for emergency rescue work.

Air respirators are very important. Generally, their service life is about ten years. As the parts of the air respirator will age, wear, and various technical performance declines during use, regular inspections are required.

Here, the little doctor helps everyone to briefly summarize the detection methods of gas cylinders. Typical methods include external inspection of the gas cylinder, internal inspection of the gas cylinder, inspection of the cylinder valve, measurement of hydraulic pressure test, internal clean and dry, and air tightness of the gas cylinder. Experiment and so on.

In addition, the inspection agency will inspect the gas cylinders of the respirator at regular intervals. There are monthly inspections and annual inspections, and the items are regulated. For breathing cylinders, in accordance with the relevant inspection regulations of the "Industrial Air Breathing Apparatus Safe Use and Maintenance Management Code", the user unit should formulate an annual air respirator regular technical inspection plan and organize the implementation. The regular technical inspection of the air respirator in use is once a year. Regular technical inspections must have a factory certificate or quality certification document, and a technical data report of the air respirator repair process issued by the maintenance department.

Any non-conforming items should be replaced in time, or sent to the inspection and repair department for further inspection and treatment.

Finally, to determine whether the air respirator needs to be scrapped, it must be disposed of in accordance with the conditions specified in the inspection.
