Fire Protection Foam

Foam is made up of three ingredients water foam concentrate and air.
Fire protection foam. The surfactants used must produce foam in concentration of less than 1. Fluor protein foams are best for hydrocarbon risks and alcohol resistant aqueous film forming foam ar afff for water miscible risks or polar solvent. Firefighting foam is a foam used for fire suppression its role is to cool the fire and to coat the fuel preventing its contact with oxygen resulting in suppression of the combustion fire fighting foam was invented by the russian engineer and chemist aleksandr loran in 1902. Our regulation 4 certification ensures the highest level of available testing and inspection.
Viking foam products viking s foam water based systems are fully integrated ensuring the operational compatibility of every component from foam concentrate to discharge devices. Some of our other areas of service include but are not limited to. A fire fighting foam is simply a stable mass of small air filled bubbles which have a lower density than oil gasoline or water. Fire pumps nfpa preaction foam systems dry systems standpipes and valve repair.
Foam fire extinguishing system. When mixed in the correct proportions these three ingredients form a homogeneous foam blanket. The skum product line was the first to provide a semi subsurface system for storage tank fire protection. High and low pressure co2 system foam used in fire protection is an aggregate of air filled bubbles formed from aqueous solutions and is of lower density than the lightest flammable liquids.
With more than 85 years of service to the firefighting industry skum foam concentrates and hardware are globally renowned for delivering innovation and performance to protect high risk special hazards. Our fire fighting and protection systems can be broadly classified in the following ways. For foam systems foam must be delivered to the fire efficiently and in a controlled and directed manner. From our halar coated control valves our three ul listed proportioning methods and our wide range of discharge devices that includes the viking grate nozzle you can rely on viking for high hazard protection.
For a nominal fee fire protection technologies will perform accurate foam sample testing using state of the art laboratory equipment and provide detailed test reports. Firefighting foam concentrates and hardware performance solutions. The foam concentration must suit different tank content and application systems. Firefighting foam is an integral part of tank fire protection system.
System testing fire protection technologies can offer a wide variety of testing services ranging from individual system component testing.
