1. Basically, there are types of foam fire 5
extinguish- ing systems.
2. A foam fire-extinguishing system must have an proportioning
ade- quate water supply, foam concentrate equipment
supply, piping system, and form discharge
devices.
3. Where topside application of foam may not be subsurface injection sys
effec-
tive because of wind or heavy fire conditions, a tem
may be used.
4. High expansion foam is designed for local application commercial
and industrial
or total flooding in applications.
5. A device that introduces the correct amount of foam proportioners
foam concentrate into the water stream to make
the foam solution is a(n):
6. Which of the following is not necessary to fog nozzle
produce a high-quality fire fighting foam?
7. Halon is more commonly found in fixed fire extin- 1301
guishing systems for total flooding application.
8. Using a foam proportioner that is not and hydraulically engineere
matched with the foam distributor nozzle or
sprinkler can result in unsatisfactory quality
foam or no finished foam.
9. Finished foam is percent water. 94 to 99.5
10. A fluorinated surfactant added to detergent foam that aqueous film
causes water to drain from the foam blanket
