• Class A foam concentrates– NFPA 1150 or US Forest Service Approved
• Class B foam concentrates– Use of a lower % foam concentrate will increase the
discharge capabilities; i.e., 1%x3% versus 3%x6%.– AFFF – AR-AFFF (Viscosity considerations) – Control at each discharge
• Emulsifiers– Viscosity considerations

What Are Water/Foam Flow What Are Water/Foam Flow Requirements?Requirements?
• What discharges require foam solution?– Pre-connected hand lines, trash lines, etc.
– 2-1/2” and/or larger discharge(s)
– Deck gun or aerial waterway (secondary feed)
• What are min. & max. GPM requirements of
solution?
• What are min. & max concentrate levels?
• Properly size proportioner, main waterway
check valve and flowmeter

Class B Foam Sizing ConsiderationsClass B Foam Sizing Considerations
• Performance expectations• NFPA standards• Storage requirements
(On and off vehicle)
• Logistical requirements• Concentrate proportioning rates• Control at each discharge

Class A ExampleClass A Example
• Flow requirements – Maximum: One deck gun 500 gpm– Minimum: One 1-1/2” 35 gpm (mop up)
• Concentrate level requirements– Maximum 1.0% (exposure protection)– Minimum 0.3% (initial attack)
• Calculate concentrate requirements– Maximum: 500 gpm x 1.0% = 5 gpm– Minimum: 35 gpm x 0.3% = .105 gpm
• Choose pump and flowmeter from charts
