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.
