I just want to know how fire extinguishers are manufactured in generala Its aircraft and its contents.
There are considerable differences between the powder extinguishers are low pressure and extinquishers CO2, which are under high pressure. Essentially, they are both welded shells with thicker metal in CO2. The CO2 is pressurized and has a simple valve to release. The more powder is a bit more complicated on the inside to ensure the powder is removed by pressure.
It really is like a cross between a can of hair spray and an air cylinder filled with CO2 or powder. The reference shows some images that can not be reporduced in this forum.
