Wide deployment in local application hazard category

The local application hazard category covers a broad range of industrial applications such as steam turbine bearings, oil skids, diesel generators, hydraulic power packs and other machinery using flammable liquids in large open spaces.

Power generation and industrial process machinery use flammable liquids for fuel, lubrication and hydraulics, which can malfunction, causing leakages and leading to fires.

FM Approval

FM Approval sets the performance criteria for local application water mist fire protection systems and includes dozens of full-scale fire tests representing real fire scenarios such as flammable liquid pools, spray fires as well as a combination of these.
