NFPA 10 Exam 34 Questions with Verified Answers ANSI - CORRECT ANSWER American National Standards Institute Antifreeze Charge - CORRECT ANSWER Loaded stream charge Carbon Dioxide - CORRECT AN... SWER A colorless, odorless, electrically non-conductive inert has that is a suitable medium for extinguishing class B and class C fires Dry Chemical - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT ANSWER Normally am aqueous solution of organic or inorganic salts or a combination there of that forms an extinguishing agent Clean Agent - CORRECT ANSWER Electrically non-conducting, volatile, or gaseous fire extinguishant that does not leave a residue upon evaporation Dry Chemical Recovery System - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT ANSWER Department of Transportation Dry Powder - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT ANSWER A method of electronic communication (data transmission) between an in-place fire extinguisher and an electronic monitoring device/system. Extinguisher Bracket - CORRECT ANSWER Extinguisher retention device designed to mount ans secure a specific extinguisher model onto various surfaces by incorporating releasable straps or bands to secure the fire extinguisher. Extinguisher Cabinet - CORRECT ANSWER An identifiable and readily accessible fire extinguisher housing device designed to store and protect fire equipment. Extinguisher Hanger - CORRECT ANSWER Extinguisher mounting device designed for mounting a specific extinguisher model onto stationary vertical surfaces. Extinguisher Inspection - CORRECT ANSWER A quick check that a fire extinguisher is in its designated place, that it has not been actuated or tampered with, and that there is no obvious physical damage or condition to prevent its operation. Extinguisher Maintenance - CORRECT ANSWER A thorough examination of the fire extinguisher that is intended to give maximum assurance that a fire extinguisher will operate effectively and safely and to determine if physical damage or condition will prevent its operation, if any repair or replacement is necessary, and if hydrostatic testing or internal maintenance is required. Film-Forming Foam Agents - CORRECT ANSWER Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) and film-forming fluoroprotein foam (FFFP). Flammable Liquids of Appreciable Depth - CORRECT ANSWER Flammable liquids of appreciable depth are those with a depth greater that 1/4 in. (6.3 mm). Halogenated Agents - CORRECT ANSWER Halogenated (clean) agents Halocarbons - CORRECT ANSWER Halocarbon agents include hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), hydrofluorocarbon (HFC), perfluorocarbon (PFC). fluoroiodocarbon (FIC), types of agents, and other halocarbons that are found acceptable under the Environmental Protection Agency Significant New Alternatives Policy program. Halons - CORRECT ANSWER Halons include bromochlorodifluoromethane (Halon 1211), bromotrifluoromethane (Halon 1301), and mixtures of Halon 1211 and Halon 1301 (Halon 1211/1301) Hydrostatic Testing - CORRECT ANSWER Pressure testing of the extinguisher to verify its strength against unwanted rupture Loaded Stream Charge - CORRECT ANSWER A water based extinguishing agent that uses alkali metal salt as a freezing point depressant Mild Steel Shell - CORRECT ANSWER All steel shells other than stainless steel and steel shells used for high pressure cylinders Extinguisher Service Pressure - CORRECT ANSWER The normal operating pressure as indicated on the nameplate or cylinder of a fire extinguisher Factory Test Pressure - CORRECT ANSWER The pressure shown on the nameplate at which a shell was tested at time of manufacture Pressurized Flammable Liquid Fires - CORRECT ANSWER Fires resulting from liquids that are forced, pumped, or sprayed Recharging - CORRECT ANSWER The replacement of the extinguishing agent (also includes the expellant for certain types of fire extinguishers) Servicing - CORRECT ANSWER Performing maintenance, recharging, or hydrostatic testing on a fire extinguisher TC - CORRECT ANSWER Transport Canada, formerly Canada Transport Commission (CTC), which has jurisdiction over high and low pressure cylinders and cartridges in Canada Travel Distance - CORRECT ANSWER The actual walking distance from any point to the nearest fire extinguisher fulfilling hazard requirements Wetting Agent - CORRECT ANSWER A concentrate which, when added to water reduces the surface tension and increases its ability to penetrate and spread [Show More]
