Fires cause huge risk to the company and the environment is dangerous existence. Therefore, it is necessary to test the content of extinguishing agent fire suppression systems, and to ensure their normal operation and contain sufficient extinguishing agent. Weighing is a common method used to test. Fire safety standards prescribed amount of extinguishing agent is a method validation. However, the weighing method time-consuming. Each cylinder must be removed and weighed separately. This year is one of the reasons this method only once. Industry are increasingly aware of the risk of manual monitoring of fixed fire extinguishing systems, monitoring methods began to change. In the past, the owners comply with fire safety regulations, the most liberal part of the system checked once a year only. However, the owners want to protect important assets, this approach is not sufficient, because there is no consideration to the fire extinguishing cylinder slow leaks and accidental discharge.
