Comparison Research on Standards of Foreign Country and National Standard of China for Marine Fire Extinguisher

Abstract:

At present, the fire extinguishers equipped on China's warship cannot meet the requirements of the extinguishing of a ship fire, due to its special working environment. Focusing on this problem, this paper analyzes the deficiency of fire extinguisher equipped on warship currently. A comparison of U.S. military, European and Chinese standards of fire extinguisher has been done, respectively from aspects of the high and low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, vibration resistance, shock resistance and the jet distance and the pressure resistance. The advantages and disadvantages of each standard have been analyzed. The necessity of the establishment of a marine fire extinguisher standard for our country has been probed. In the end, some suggestions have been put forward.
