La poudre sèche est pratiquement le seul agent extincteur utilisé sous forme solide. Les produits pulvérulents les plus employés sont les bicarbonates de sodium et de potassium. [...] La poudre sèche doit être parfaitement protégée de l'humidité afin d'éviter qu'elle ne s'agglomère en un bloc compact. L'hydrofugation est obtenue en enrobant chaque grain de particules grasses, stéarate en général, ou d'un film isolant d'autre nature. [...] La poudre sèche classique est efficace sur les feux de classe B et de classe C. [...] Il existe depuis quelques années des poudres polyvalentes permettant d'intervenir à la fois sur les feux de classes A, B et C; certaines permettent également d'obtenir de bons résultats sur les feux de métaux [classe D]. 5, record 1, French, - poudre%20pour%20feux%20de%20classe%20D

[...] Les milieux filtrants, qu'il s'agisse de masses filtrantes agglomérées ou non (sable, diatomite, quartz, fibres de coton, pierres poreuses, verres et métaux frittés) ou de membranes filtrantes (tissus, papiers, collodions, etc.), doivent remplir un certain nombre de conditions : résistances mécanique et chimique suffisantes, bonne capacité de rétention des solides, de manière à donner un filtrat clair, même dans le cas de suspensions très fines, etc. 2, record 3, French, - milieu%20filtrant

Granular fracture can be subclassified as transgranular fracture or intergranular fracture. It is frequently called crystalline fracture; however, the inference that the metal broke because it "crystallized" is not justified, because all metals are crystalline in the solid state. 1, record 4, English, - granular%20fracture
