joaqv Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Hello C-130 people, I am looking for information about fire extinguishers onboard C-130 from other countries (than Sweden) - What sort of extinguishers are there on your C-130? - How many are there and where are they placed? For each type of extinguisher - Who is the manufacturer? - Weight of agent? - Volume extinguisher? - Pressure? - What rating does it have? - approved temperature interval? I am happy to get information on all or some of the questions? Regards Johan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howell fe Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 My USAF experience: 5 halon 1211 (BCF) fire extinguishers:1 on the flight deck (245 bulkhead) and 4 in the cargo compartment: one on aft 245 bulkhead, 2 on right side (aft of wing), and 1 forward of portside paratroop door. 125 +/-50 psi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinyclark Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Four, except on special mission birds. where there are 5, 6 or 7, depending on model. The four are at FS245 LH, FS617 RH and FS803, and one in cockpit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
