41、 Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions. 3 Units of Measurement 3.1 The metric unit shall be designated as the official unit for purposes of this standard. Whe

42、re values of measurement are specied in both SI and English units, either unit is used. In cases of dispute, the metric unit shall be used.

43、s 4.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. 5 Glossary 5.1 For the purpose of this standard, the following denitions apply. 5.2 ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY A pressure vessel p

44、ressurized with an inert gas or a liquid and inert gas that includes a valve; or a gas cartridge pressurized with an inert gas that includes a puncture disc, which upon automatic means of actuation, releases pressure resulting in the discharge process. 5.3 AUTOMATIC EXTINGUISHER UNIT A unit that has

45、 no manual means of actuation and discharges extinguishing agent upon thermal actuation, and is intended for use in a normally unoccupied space and is limited to a single protected area. 5.4 CYLINDER/VALVE ASSEMBLY A container that incorporates a valve and that provides storage of the extinguishing

46、agent and expellant gas until the valve is actuated. For cartridge operated units, this assembly includes the dry chemical storage container and cartridge mechanism. When actuated, the valve releases the agent into the distribution network of the extinguisher unit. 5.5 DISCHARGE NOZZLE A device that

47、 is used to uniformly distribute the extinguishing agent over or into a specic area, or within a specic volume, or both. 5.6 DISCHARGE RATE The ratio of the quantity of agent discharged from a nozzle to the discharge time measured within 1 s. When a minimum discharge rate is indicated, reference is

48、made to the minimum quantity of agent discharged and the time measured within 1s . 5.7 DISCHARGE TIME The time interval between the rst appearance of extinguishing agent at the nozzle and the time at which the discharge becomes predominantly gaseous. 5.8 EXPELLANT GAS Dry nitrogen, dry air, or other

49、 gas used to facilitate the discharge of the extinguishing agent. 5.9 GAS CARTRIDGE A container that provides storage for an expellant gas. 5.10 HEPTANE A commercial grade hydrocarbon used as a test fuel with the following characteristics: Minimum Initial boiling point 88C (190F) Maximum Dry point 100C (212F) Specic gravity (15.6C/15.6C)(60F/60F) 0.69 - 0.73 5.11 METHOD OF ACTUATION, AUTOMATIC A means of actuation that results in extinguishin
