B = The number 20 that precedes the letters B:C is the number of square feet that the extinguisher can cover or is able to extinguish. Therefore, a 20B equates to being able to extinguish 20 square feet of a Class B fire.
C = The C in the equation means the agent is non-conductive and could also be used on a Class C fire.
