Inert Gas Application limitations:
Per NFPA 2001, Clean Agent systems shall “NOT” be used on fires
involving the following materials:
• Chemicals or mixtures of chemicals that are capable of rapid
oxidation in the absence of air.
(Examples include: Cellulose Nitrate and Gunpowder)
• Reactive metals such as Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium,
Titanium, Zirconium, Uranium, and Plutonium
• Metal hydrides such as Sodium Hydride and Lithium Aluminum
Hydride
• Chemicals capable of undergoing auto‐thermal decomposition.
(Examples: Organic Peroxides and Hydrazine)
