Overview
These VWR Scientific units will prevent potentially
destructive explosions in any facility by meeting the
standards established by Underwriter’s Laboratory, Inc.,
OSHA and National Fire Protection Association for
storage of hazardous materials.They also are designed to
comply with National Fire Protection Association
Standards Nos.45 and 99, as well as OSHA Article No.
29 CFR 1910.307. VWR Scientific Flammable Materials
Storage Refrigerators/Freezers are manufactured for safe,
cold storage of volatile materials.
Flammable Material Storage (FMS)
Refrigerators/Freezers will prevent an explosion from
occurring inside the unit.These units have no internal
electrical components that could trigger an explosion of
hazardous materials inside the unit. (They are NOT
designed for use in Class I, Groups C and D
environments—for these locations use a VWR Scientific
Explosion-Proof Refrigerator.) However, FMS units are not
suitable for use in Class I, Group C and D environments.
This complete line includes single and 2-door upright
refrigerators and freezers, horizontal chest freezers, and
under counter refrigerators.
These units are ideal for storing cyclopropane, ethyl ether,
ethylene, acetone, alcohol, benzene, butane,
gasoline,hexane, lacquer solvent vapors, naphtha, natural
gas or propane along with many other potentially
hazardous materials.
All cabinets have heavy-gauge steel construction with a
durable exterior finish of epoxy enamel.A well insulated
cabinet and tight sealing magnetic door prevent air leaks
along with helping to lower operating costs.The interior is
made of porcelain enameled steel or ABS plastic.
VWR Scientific offers the largest selection of FMS units.
All models are delivered with 3-wire line cord and molded
plug. All 115-volt FMS models are UL listed.
