    Q. Explain Fire Triangle?: Q. What Is The Different Class of Fire/types of Fire?

    Uploaded by

    Dev Raj
    The fire triangle represents the three components needed for fire - oxygen, fuel, and heat. There are five classes of fire based on the type of fuel. Fire can be extinguished by removing one of the triangle's components through starvation, smothering, cooling, or blanketing. Fire spreads through conduction, convection, and radiation. Proper precautions must be taken when performing hot work, such as removing flammables, having fire extinguishers and blankets available, and designating a fire watcher.

    FIRE

    Q. Explain Fire Triangle?

     Fire Triangle is a diagram which represents the three components that creates a fire such as Oxygen or
    Air, Fuel and Heat (source of ignition).

     Absence of any of the components, fire would not occur.

    Q. What is the different class of fire/types of fire?

    Class of Fire:

    Class A--- Carbon based combustible materials (wood, rubber, paper, fabric, etc.)

    Class B --- Liquid (petrol, oil, thinners etc.)

    Class C --- Gases (acetylene, propane, LPG, Butane etc.)

    Class D --- Metals (Sodium, potassium, magnesium) require special extinguishing agent.

    Class E --- Fire involving energized electrical equipment as electrical cable, electrical motor etc.

    Q. What is fire extinguishing principle?

    Fire extinguishing method

    Starvation – Remove fuel

    Smothering – Remove Oxygen

    Cooling – Remove Heat

    Blanketing

    Fire extinguishment principle involves elimination one or more of the components forming a Fire
    Triangle.

    Starving: The removal of fuel to the point so that nothing remains to burn. Example: turn off valves.

    Smothering: The removal of air or oxygen to point the so that combustion ceases. Example: fire blanket,
    foam and sand.

    Cooling: Cooling of fuel to the point so that combustion vapours are no longer produced, and
    temperature is dropped below ignition point. Example: water spray etc.

    Inhibiting the Flame Chain Reaction: It is represented by fire tetrahedron shown below. In this method
    by arresting the chemical chain reaction in the flame zone, combustion process is terminated, e.g.
    introduce a Dry Chemical Extinguisher, inert agent etc
    Q. What is transmission of heat? OR What are the methods / modes for fire can spread?

    Transfer of heat is responsible for initiation, continuation, and extinguishment of most fires.

    Fire can spread by one or more of the following modes:-

    Conduction:

    Heat from one body is transferred to another by direct contact.

    Convection:

    Heat is transferred by a circulating medium either a gas or liquid.

    Radiation:

    Heat is transferred from one body to another by heat rays a medium in between.

    Hot work
    May result in an open flame, the production of sparks or other potential source of ignition.

    Hazards
    Electrocution
    Flying objects
    Fumes
    Ignition sources

    The risks associated are:


     Burns
     Cuts
     Fire
     Explosion
     Injuries and fatalities to people and property

    Precautions:
     Flammable materials should be removed from the area
     Items that cannot be removed are covered with fire blankets.
     Floor is swept clean
     Wooden floor is damped down
     A suitable fire extinguisher is at hand
     A fire watcher is present in the area
     MSDS of gases
     Gas test
     Cylinders are upright position and properly secure it
     Flash back arrestors

    1. PTW
    2. Gas test
    3. Isolation (If it’s Required)
    4. Thirty party certificate of the welder and welding machine
    5. Check the welding area
    6. Fire watcher with fire extinguisher
    7. Fire Blanket
    8. PPE(welding mask, leather gloves, leather clothes, long safety shoes)
