FM200 Agent Cylinder – High Purity (≥ 99.9%) HFC-227ea Fire Extinguishing Agent

Product Specification

FM200 agent cylinder is a high-quality pressure vessel specifically designed for storing heptafluoropropane (HFC-227ea) fire extinguishing agent, serving as a core component of FM200 fire suppression systems. This FM200 storage cylinder is widely used in automatic fire extinguishing systems to provide reliable fire protection for data centers, telecommunication rooms, archives, and other critical facilities. Manufactured from high-quality pressure vessel steel, the cylinder offers excellent sealing performance and pressure resistance, ensuring the safety and stability of FM200 gas throughout storage and transportation.

Product Overview

The FM200 (heptafluoropropane) agent cylinder is an indispensable component of clean agent fire suppression systems. The cylinder is strictly designed and tested in accordance with national pressure vessel standards and is refillable for cost-effective operation. FM200 agent itself is a colorless, odorless, and non-conductive liquefied gas that leaves no residue and causes no corrosion after discharge, making it highly compatible with precision equipment and valuable assets.

Usage Precautions

• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area

• Avoid direct sunlight and high-temperature environments (recommended storage: -20℃ ~ +50℃)

• Regularly inspect cylinder exterior, pressure gauge readings, and seal conditions

• Avoid severe impact during filling, transport, and use

• Ensure system design concentration is within safe limits during installation

• A hydrostatic pressure test at 5.3 MPa is recommended every five years to verify cylinder safety

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What material is the FM200 agent cylinder made of?

A: The cylinder is manufactured from high-quality pressure vessel steel, offering excellent pressure resistance and corrosion protection for long-term safe use.

Q: Can the agent cylinder be reused?

A: Yes. After the FM200 agent is depleted, the cylinder can be returned to a professional filling station for cleaning and refilling, providing both environmental and economic benefits.

Q: Does FM200 have any environmental impact?

A: FM200 has an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of zero, meaning it does not harm the ozone layer. However, its Global Warming Potential (GWP) is relatively high, so usage should be strictly controlled according to design specifications.

Q: Does FM200 produce toxic substances when extinguishing fires?

A: It is safe when used at normal design concentrations. However, when the agent concentration exceeds a certain level, it may produce trace amounts of HF (hydrogen fluoride), which can be effectively avoided or controlled through proper system design.

Q: Is the cylinder interface compatible with mainstream fire suppression systems?

A: Yes. The cylinder features a standardized interface design, compatible with most mainstream FM200 fire suppression systems for convenient installation.
