Answer 17

low expansion foam

Question 18

Low expansion foam has an expansion ratio of less than

Answer 18

20 -1 with no specialized air aspirated nozzles required

Question 19

Medium expansion expansion ratio

Answer 19

20-1 and 200-1 it requires air aspirated nozzle to produce the foam

Question 20

Hi expansion has an expansion ratio between

Answer 20

200-1 and 1000-1

Question 21

What is excellent to for extinguishing stubborn a basement fires

Answer 21

Hi expansion foam

Question 22

Difference between class A and class B foams

Answer 22

Class B- water is needed to mix the proper foam solution ratio and water is also the vehicle to deliver the product into the fire, a film is formed over the surface of the barren and gasoline to stop in prevent further release flammable vapors( film barrier must remain intact)
Class A - water is the dominant extinguishing Agent not the foam the foam enhances the effectiveness of the water by creating bubbles does increasing the heat absorption service area of the water droplets p. 178

Question 23

Research by NIST has determined that droplets measuring between ‘’’ microns or more efficient and absorbing heat then where the larger heavier droplets
