There are various gaseous elements used for fire suppression such as CO2 system, NOVEC 1230, Inergen and many others. All these gases including FM 200 are used suppressing gases on different levels. They different in qualities, characteristics and positive and negative effects including environmental effects and cost efficiency which make people to prioritize one gas over the other. You will find various forms of fire suppressing gases which are commonly available in areas open to such disastrous situation. It may be available and seen installed in areas where there is any chance of collateral damage in regards to the water ingression. There was a time when Halon, it components and carbon dioxide were considered the most but unfortunately, Halon in regards to its ozone depleting characteristics is banned by the concerned authorities. Moreover, CO2 & Marine CO2 system is also known to cause extreme suffocation in areas where it gets leaked or sprayed, causing unconsciousness to people.

NOVEC 1230 Fire Suppressing System is considered to be one of the best fire extinguishing systems but unfortunately, it proves to be expensive for the people as it covers a limited surface. Inergen are also considered well for its efficiency but lack behind than NOVEC 1230 gas. Keeping aside the rest of the gases used for the specific purpose, FM 200 Fire Suppressing System is considered to be the most appropriate option for industries and factories at the moment in regards to environmental conditions and cost efficiency. Though it possesses a specific amount of being a minor ozone depleting characteristic but this is not as dangerous as the other gases are. Majorly, industrial sector prefers to have this fire suppressing gas because it costs less due to the minimum usage of amount of liquids.

What are the characteristics of FM 200?
It is considered to be a colorless, odorless and liquefied gas which is compressed and stored into single skinned cylinders, tanks or wells. Being dispensed into peril as a transparent gas and they do not obscure the vision as they are eclectically non-conductive vapors, FM 200 is considered perfect for any place to be sprayed in case of emergency. Leaving no residue being after being dispensed, the non-toxic feature makes it safe for usage in time of emergency. For better efficiency and no disappointment by the installed system, it is important that ultrasonic liquid level indicator are attached to the system. This additional installation can save you from severe and uncontrollable situations and obviously, massive destruction if the fire gains strength. You will find FM 200 fire extinguishing system most dominatingly installed in industrial areas, marine vessels and computer rooms.
