What is foam proportioner

foam proportioner is a device that mixes firefighting foam concentrate with water at a precise ratio (1–6%) to create effective fire-suppressing foam. It ensures optimal foam expansion for smothering flammable liquid (Class B) fires.

Types:

Balanced Pressure: Uses pumps and valves for consistent ratios under varying pressures.

Venturi: Relies on water flow to draw concentrate via suction (no power needed).

Key Features:

Adjustable ratios for different fuels (3% for hydrocarbons, 6% for polar solvents).

Durable materials (stainless steel, brass) for corrosion resistance.

Compatible with AFFF, AR-AFFF, or eco-friendly fluorine-free foams.

Applications: Fuel tanks, airports, chemical plants, marine firefighting.

Standards: Meets NFPA 11/16 for reliability and safety.

Maintenance:

Flush with water post-use to prevent clogging.

Inspect seals, valves, and concentrate levels regularly.
