How to choose
Fire fighting foam is made by mixing a small share of foam concentrate into water, usually 3% or 6%, and then adding air. The expansion ratio says how much the foam grows: low expansion foam (1:2 to 1:12 in New Age's branch pipes) is dense and throws a long way, medium expansion foam blankets bunded areas, and high expansion foam (1:200 to 1:1100 in New Age's generators) fills enclosed spaces.
For hose lines, choose how the concentrate is picked up. The FB 2, 10 and 20 branch pipes draw it in themselves at a fixed 3% or 6% through a pick-up tube; the FB 5X has a built in proportioning valve from 0 to 6% and a shut off valve; and the FB 2X, 10X and 20X are for premix solution. Alternatively, an inline inductor goes in the hose line: fixed (3% to 6%), variable (0 to 6%, with a non return valve on the foam inlet) or the UL Listed stainless steel model that works from 80 psi to 200 psi.
For storage tanks, New Age's UL Listed foam makers come in five models covering 75 LPM to 2700 LPM: with a vapour seal chamber for fixed roof tanks, and without one for floating roof tanks. The high back pressure foam maker injects foam below the surface of the stored hydrocarbon and can discharge against a back pressure of up to 40% of its inlet pressure. For fixed systems, the UL Listed in-line balanced pressure proportioner covers 110 LPM to 17500 LPM in sizes 50 NB to 200 NB.
Mobile foam units take foam where fixed piping or fire vehicles cannot reach: the fast attack unit carries a 200 litre stainless steel tank and a monitor for 300 GPM at 100 psi, and FRP and stainless steel tank carts come in 100, 150 and 200 litre sizes. FPS supplies, installs and commissions New Age foam equipment across Madhya Pradesh.
Frequently asked questions
What do 3% and 6% induction mean?
They are the share of foam concentrate mixed into the water: 3 parts concentrate to 97 parts water, or 6 to 94. The concentrate you use decides which rate is needed, and most New Age inductors and branch pipes offer both.
What is the expansion ratio of foam?
It is how many times the foam grows in volume compared with the foam solution. New Age's branch pipes give low expansion foam of 1:2 to 1:12, the Hi-Ex Mini Turbex 1:200 to 1:350, and the MK2 generator 1:400 to 1:1100.
Which New Age foam equipment is UL Listed?
The UL inline inductor, the foam makers with and without vapour seal chamber, and the in-line balanced pressure proportioner are listed as UL Listed.
Do I need a foam maker with or without a vapour seal chamber?
New Age designs the version with a vapour seal chamber for fixed roof tanks and the version without one for floating roof tanks, both for low expansion foam systems. Both come in five models from 75 LPM to 2700 LPM.
What is a mobile foam unit?
It is a wheeled cart with its own foam concentrate tank that can be pushed to a fire where fixed piping or a fire vehicle cannot reach. New Age offers FRP and stainless steel tank versions and a fast attack unit with a monitor.
How do I get a price for New Age foam equipment?
