What is the range of medium expansion foam?
What is the range of medium expansion foam? Correct Answer 20 ∶ 1 to 200 ∶ 1
Explanation:
Foam:
- A fire fighting foam is simply a stable mass of small air-filled bubbles, which have a lower density than oil, gasoline or water.
- Foam is made up of three ingredients
- water
- foam concentrate
- air
- When mixed in the correct proportions, these three ingredients form a homogeneous foam blanket.
Foam Solution:
- This is a solution of water and foam concentrate after they have been mixed together in the correct proportions.
Foam Concentrate:
- This liquid concentrate is supplied from the manufacturer which when mixed with water in the correct proportion forms a foam solution.
Expansion rate:
- Volume of finished foam divided by the volume of foam solution used to create the finished foam; i.e., a ratio of 5 to 1 would mean that one gallon of foam solution after aeration would fill an empty 5-gallon container with the expanded foam mass.
- Low expansion foam: Foam aerated to an expansion ratio of between 2 to 1 and 20 to 1.
- Medium expansion foam: Expansion ratio between 20 to 1 and 200 to 1.
- High expansion foam: Expansion ratio above 200 to 1.
