Thermal casualties are on the high rise when it comes to collateral damage. In most cases people lose their lives due to inadequate fire safety. In many building, commercial complexes and even on ships, there isn’t proper firefighting equipment and not enough exit points. Due to the rush caused when a fire alarm triggers, most of the time a lot of people fail to make it to the outside. They get trapped inside and are at the mercy of the rescue teams who if fail to arrive in time, cause a huge loss of lives. When there is uncontrolled fire raging at full velocity, there isn’t much time as everything gets caught in the blaze.

It is important to have proper safety features installed in the buildings and ships before they are open to public. Unfortunately, most of the time it happens before the fire suppression systems are properly installed and ready to operate. A FM 200 fire suppression system is one of the most accomplished fire suppression systems available today. Using the FM 200 gas to fight the flames, it is one of the best as it does not cause additional panic as in the case of a water sprinkler. When water is being sprinkled with high pressure, people who get caught in it often complain about not being able to find their way due to excess water being sprinkled on them.

FM 200 is better than water in one way that it does not wet any person or thing it touches. Since it is a gas which when released and present in the cylinders is in liquefied form, but evaporates quickly too. It is tested and clinically proven to be environment friendly which makes it non hazardous to breathe in if done so by accident. Being colorless and odorless, you won’t know about FM 200 even if you walk straight in a room that has been sprayed with it five minutes before. This property adds more interest to the people who need to install a fire suppression system but not damage their interior because of a fire fighting agent.

Now since the gas is present in cylinders that have no opening than the only nozzle on its head, it can be hard to measure without the ultrasonic liquid level indicator. It is the device used by professionals to determine the liquid level inside cylinders and other huge liquid holding tanks. Using the device, one can easily measure the cylinders and report to the concerned department when they need to arrange a refill of the gas or if it needs replacement because the time is up but it was still unused.
