CO2 cylinder valve is a critical safety device of high pressure CO2 fire fighting system, made of lead brass is the standard for high-pressure and corrosion-resistant, with working pressures around 15 MPa, and test pressures often reaching 25 MPa.
The CO₂ cylinder valve (also known as cylinder head valve) is a critical core component for ship‑board high‑pressure fixed carbon‑dioxide fire‑fighting installations, complying with SOLAS, FSS Code, marine classification society requirements such as CCS, BV…
Used in the Marine Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguishing Plant for Ships and Offshore Installations.
