In the world of modern fire prevention, the role of fire suppression cylinders is often underestimated. Yet these components form the backbone of every automatic extinguishing system, especially those powered by clean agents like HFC-227ea (FM-200), FK-5-1-12 (Novec 1230), and HFC-125.Whether you’re working on a data center, electrical room, archive, or industrial facility, selecting the right pressure container—certified and manufactured under strict standards—can mean the difference between protection and vulnerability.
Why Cylinder Certification Matters
Each fire suppression system cylinder must comply with internationally recognized standards like:
-
- EN 13322-1 (for welded steel cylinders)
-
- EN 14208 (for large-capacity containers)
-
- TPED (Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive 2010/35/EU)
-
- Certified by TÜV, CE, ADR, and even UL, EAC, GOST, and PESO depending on target markets.
These standards ensure the cylinder can safely withstand operating pressures of 25 bar, 34.5 bar, or 42 bar (equivalent to 360 psi, 500 psi, or 610 psi)—especially critical for gaseous clean agents like Heptafluoropropane and Fluoroketone.
Matching the Cylinder to the Agent
Different agents require specific pressure and volume configurations:
| Clean Agent | Chemical Name | Pressure Range |
|---|---|---|
| FM-200 | HFC-227ea (UN3296) | 25 – 34,5 – 42 bar / 360 – 500 – 610 Psi |
| Novec 1230 | FK-5-1-12 (UN3164) | 25 – 34,5 – 42 bar / 360 – 500 – 610 Psi |
| HFC-125 | Pentafluoroethane (UN3220) | 25 – 34,5 – 42 bar / 360 – 500 – 610 Psi |
These cylinders are specifically engineered to discharge the clean agent rapidly and effectively into the protected space, ensuring minimal damage to sensitive equipment and zero post-discharge cleanup.
