3-3.1 FM-200 Cylinder/Valve Assemblies
FM-200 is stored in steel cylinders as a liquid,
superpressurized with nitrogen to 360 PSIG at 70°F
(25 bar gauge at 21°C). The cylinder valve assembly is
equipped with a supervisory pressure switch connection
for monitoring cylinder pressure, a pressure gauge and a
safety burst disc in compliance with DOT requirements.
In addition, each cylinder/valve assembly is provided with
a safety cap and a protection cap which is a safety feature
to prevent uncontrolled, accidental discharge.
WARNING
!
The safety cap must be installed on the
discharge outlet whenever a charged cylinder/
valve assembly is not connected to the system
piping. Failure to install the safety cap could
result in violent movement of the container in
the event of inadvertent actuation. Failure to
follow these instructions could cause personal
injury and/or property damage.
Figures 3-3 through 3-5 represent typical cylinder assemblies.
