Question 1762 Deck General
70% to passWhat would be an example of a B-I extinguisher? (small passenger vessel regulations)
A
5 pound foam
B
2 pound dry chemical
C
10 pound carbon dioxide
D
2.5 gallon foam
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 2 pound dry chemical. The small passenger vessel regulations (46 CFR Subchapter T) specify that a B-I fire extinguisher must have a minimum capacity of 2 pounds of dry chemical. This meets the requirements for the small Class B fire (flammable liquids and gases) that a B-I extinguisher is intended to address on small passenger vessels. The other options are incorrect because: A) 5 pound foam is too large, C) 10 pound carbon dioxide is too large, and D) 2.5 gallon foam does not meet the dry chemical requirement for a B-I extinguisher.
