Summary

TLDRThis video explains the components, classification, usage, and maintenance of fire extinguishers (APAR). It covers key elements like the lever, handle, pin, pressure gauge, hose, nozzle, and informational labels. The video details the different fire classes (A, B, C, D), the types of extinguishers, and demonstrates how to properly use and maintain an APAR. Viewers learn how to check the gauge, remove the pin, aim the nozzle, and extinguish fires from a safe distance. Maintenance tips, such as inspecting for blockages and ensuring the extinguisher is fully functional, are also shared. Regular checks and proper care are emphasized to ensure the extinguisher's reliability.

Takeaways

  • ๐Ÿ˜€ APAR (Alat Pemadam Api Ringan) is a fire extinguisher used for small fires, containing different components like the lever, pin, pressure gauge, hose, and nozzle.
  • ๐Ÿ˜€ The main components of an APAR are the lever (tuas), handle (pegangan), pin, pressure gauge (manometer), hose (selang), nozzle (corong), and the information label.
  • ๐Ÿ˜€ Fire extinguishers are classified into four types: Class A (solid materials like wood and fabric), Class B (flammable liquids like gasoline), Class C (electrical fires), and Class D (metal fires).
  • ๐Ÿ˜€ Each class of fire has a specific type of extinguisher: water or liquid for Class A, foam or powder for Class B, CO2 for Class C, and dry powder for Class D.
  • ๐Ÿ˜€ APARs come in various sizes, such as 3 kg, 6 kg, and 9 kg, with the 6 kg model being commonly used for small-scale fire emergencies.
  • ๐Ÿ˜€ To use an APAR: Check the pressure gauge (manometer), remove the safety pin, aim the nozzle at the fire, squeeze the lever, and sweep the nozzle across the fire.
  • ๐Ÿ˜€ Ensure that the nozzle is aimed at the base of the fire and maintain a distance of 2-3 meters while using the extinguisher.
  • ๐Ÿ˜€ After use, make sure to lay the APAR flat to prevent accidental discharge and verify that itโ€™s empty before storage.
  • ๐Ÿ˜€ Regular maintenance of an APAR includes checking the pressure gauge, ensuring the pin and seal are intact, inspecting the hose and nozzle, and verifying the cylinder is rust-free.
  • ๐Ÿ˜€ For chemical powder extinguishers, shake the extinguisher to prevent the powder from clumping. If you hear a 'thumping' sound when shaken, the extinguisher is no longer usable.

Q & A

  • What does the term 'APAR' refer to?

    -APAR stands for 'Alat Pemadam Api Ringan', which translates to a light fire extinguisher in English.

  • What are the main components of an APAR?

    -The main components of an APAR are the lever (Tuas), handle (Pegangan), pin, manometer (pressure gauge), hose (Selang), nozzle (Corong), and the information label.

  • What is the purpose of the manometer in an APAR?

    -The manometer (pressure gauge) is used to measure the internal pressure of the APAR to ensure it is within the safe operating range, typically indicated in the green zone.

  • What is the function of the pin in an APAR?

    -The pin in an APAR is a safety feature that prevents accidental activation of the fire extinguisher. It must be removed before use.

  • What types of fire are covered by the different APAR classifications?

    -APAR is classified into four main types: Class A (solid materials like wood, fabric), Class B (flammable liquids like gasoline), Class C (electrical fires), and Class D (metal fires).

  • What is the difference between a Class A and Class B APAR?

    -Class A APAR is used to extinguish fires caused by solid materials like wood, fabric, and rubber, using water. Class B APAR is used for fires caused by flammable liquids like gasoline or oil, using foam or powder.

  • What should you do before using an APAR?

    -Before using an APAR, check the pressure gauge to ensure it is within the green zone, then remove the pin, hold the handle, aim the nozzle at the fire, and press the lever to discharge the contents.

  • How do you use an APAR correctly?

    -To use an APAR, ensure the pressure gauge shows a green zone reading, remove the pin, aim the nozzle at the base of the fire, and press the lever to release the extinguishing agent. Maintain a 2 to 3-meter distance from the fire.

  • What are some important maintenance checks for an APAR?

    -Regular maintenance checks for an APAR include verifying the pressure gauge is in the green zone, ensuring the pin and seal are intact, confirming the lever and nozzle are free from rust, and checking that the hose is unobstructed.

  • How can you check if a chemical powder APAR is still functional?

    -For a chemical powder APAR, lift and shake the extinguisher three times and listen for a smooth sound. If you hear a 'thudding' sound, the powder inside may have clumped, and the extinguisher should not be used.
