The safety of laboratories has always been a major concern, with fire and explosion prevention being of paramount importance. In order to avoid disasters caused by combustible materials in the laboratory, most laboratories choose to purchase safe fire cabinets. So how much do you know about safe fire cabinets? Sai Yu will come and talk to everyone about the safety and fire cabinet!
Fire safety cabinet is a storage cabinet specifically designed to provide safe storage, packaging, and classification management for hazardous chemicals. Mainly installed in distribution rooms, substations, laboratories, and other places, it is used to store electrical equipment and equipment with explosion hazards, and has dedicated facilities that can prevent flames from spreading to other parts in the event of a fire Fire safety cabinets come in different sizes and types and can be used for flammable, combustible, and chemical safe storage. Among them, lightweight chemical storage cabinets can also be placed in the workplace for storing flammable, combustible, and organic containers, saving the hassle of commuting to and from hazardous material storage rooms.
Generally speaking, fire safety cabinets come in three colors: red, yellow, and blue, each representing a different type of chemical that can be stored. The red fireproof safety cabinet is used to store various combustible materials, with a flash point above 45 °; Yellow fireproof safety cabinet is used to store various flammable materials; The blue fireproof safety cabinet is used to store various weakly corrosive items or weak acids and alkalis. In daily life, we can also determine the type of chemical in the cabinet based on different colors, making it more convenient to use and access.
Placing chemical fire safety cabinets in places prone to danger can prevent the occurrence of fires. The leakage tank in the safety cabinet can prevent accidental liquid from overflowing, effectively protecting human life safety, property, and the environment. In addition, setting up small-sized safety fire cabinets can also reduce costs and improve work efficiency; In addition, the functions of safety cabinets with different colors are different, and the chemicals that can be stored are also different. They are stored in different categories, making them clear at a glance and easier to manage.
Of course, the safety of the laboratory is not guaranteed by setting up a fire safety cabinet. We also need to pay attention to some relevant safety precautions in our daily lives. Generally speaking, chemical safety fire cabinets must be placed horizontally. In order to maintain the horizontal placement of the safety cabinet in certain uneven positions, the requirements can be achieved by adjusting the bottom support legs. Vents with fire and flame suppression devices should be located on both sides of the cabinet body to better maintain ventilation and exhaust. The fire safety cabinet should adopt an anti-static design, and the flammable liquid inside the cabinet should always be sealed. Do you understand?
