FM200 Fire Suppression System: Comprehensive Guide to Components & Refilling
What is the FM200 System?
The FM200 Fire Suppression System is one of the most common and effective fire safety solutions globally. The FM200 extinguishing agent (chemically known as HFC-227ea) is stored in pressurized cylinders and can be released into the hazard area to extinguish flames quickly and effectively in less than 10 seconds.
The FM200 system can be used in a wide range of applications, from industrial facilities and warehouses to offices, data centers, and sensitive server rooms. FM200 gas is an inert, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly gas (Ozone Depletion Potential ODP = 0), making it perfectly suitable for areas containing expensive electronic equipment or valuable documents.
