5.3 FOAM CONSUMPTION

The following tables indicate the theoretical foam concentrate flow rate and the time it will take to empty a 5 gallon (18.9 liters) container

of various concentrates with eductors of different ratings.

TESTING NOTES:

1. The Class A foam used for calibration is the “Knock Down” from National Foam. The calibration viscosity is 20 Centipoise.

2. The class B foam used for calibration is the “Universal Plus 3%/6% Alcohol Resistant Aqueous Film Forming Foam” (AR-AFFF)

from National Foam. The calibration viscosity is 2892 Centipoise tested with Brookfield #3 Spindle @ 30 rpm.

3. TFT’s eductors were calibrated with 1 ¾” Conquest Hose.

-  UE-060-NF calibration hose length is 300 ft.

-  UE-095-NF calibration hose length is 250 ft.

-  UE-125-NF calibration hose length is 150 ft.
