Fire Extinguisher Cartridges

Aircraft fire extinguishing systems are a crucial part of any private aircraft, putting out onboard fires before they can harm passengers or equipment. Aviation fire extinguisher cartridges, also called squibs, play a crucial role in your fire suppressant system’s performance. These components act as the force that drives the extinguishing agent out of the aircraft storage bottles.

Squibs are miniature explosives found in the discharge valves of your private plane’s extinguishing agent containers. These devices rupture the storage bottle to release the fire suppressant and put out the flames.

Detonators

Another valuable component of private aircraft systems is a detonator. These high-energy devices trigger explosive devices in the safest and most efficient manner possible.

Detonators make explosives more stable by aiding secondary explosive devices in their ignition — users proved that this equipment was safer than previous explosives. Still, it takes effort and intention to set them off. Detonators ease this process by providing small discharges that drive the explosives to detonate.

Initiators

Initiators are another essential part of a  private aircraft. These cartridge actuated devices build the necessary pressure or heat to kindle mildly combustible materials. Initiators use heated components called bridgewires to generate exothermic chemical reactions that ignite pyrotechnic compositions.

Aviation initiators provide private aircraft with the force they need for numerous onboard applications, such as fire extinguisher initiations and seat ejections.
