- Abstract
- This report covers methods of proportioning foam concentrate into water to make foam solution that can be used with standard nozzles, aspirating nozzles, or in a compressed air foam system (CAFS) for use in fighting wildland fires. There are two basic types of foam concentrate proportioning systems: [1] Manually regulated proportioning systems; [2] Automatic regulating proportioning systems.
