Advantages of 3%-6% foam
why we like it?
Uses less water
Reduces Danger of re ignition
Can flood hard to get to places
Lightness reduces Stability issues
Can be used where water not abundant
Used on Class B fires
When would you use 3% and 6% foam
3% used for petrol, diesel, kero
6% used for alcohol based
Understand Flammable range of fuels
Lineal Description
Is the range in which a gas or vapor will explode if an ignition source is present
DRISL
Diameter of hose
Roughness of hose
Independant of pressure
Square of flow rate
Length of hose
What are the 6 pressure principles
- Pressure is perpendicular to any surface on which it acts
2.Pressure of a fluid at rest is the same intensity in all directions
3.Pressure applied from outside a vessel containing fluid is the same in all directions.
4.Downward pressure of fluid in open vessel is proportional to its depth - Downward pressure of fluid in an open vessel is proportional to the density of fluid.
6.Downward pressure of a fluid at the bottom of a vessel is independent of the shape of the vessel.
Friction Loss Laws
DRISL
1.Friction loss increases directly with the length of hose
2.Friction loss increases indirectly with the decrease in diameter.
3.Friction loss increases directly as the square of the flow rate.
4.Friction loss increases with the roughness of the interior of the hose.
5.Friction loss for all practical purposes is independent of pressure.
Head pressure is?
For every 1meter of head = 10 kpa
Draughting suction pressure
