- Abstract
- An improved technique for determining the compatibility of multipurpose phosphate dry chemical fire extinguishing agent with mechanically produced foam in the presence of a standard hydrocarbon fuel is described. A method for the determination of sub-screen particle size is also described and is recommended for adoption because of its applicability to this type of material.
