Product Description

Low-expansion foam liquid foaming multiple and liquid separation time measuring instrument

1. Scope of application:

This precision testing instrument is designed to evaluate the foam expansion ratio and 25% drainage time of low-expansion foam solutions, It features a stainless steel foam collection tank,high-precision flow control (0.3-0.65 MPa), and automated timing for accurate, repeatable results. The system supports international standards such as ISO 7203-1, EN 1568-1, UL 162, and NFPA 11, making it ideal for global certification testing. it ensures reliable performance for foam concentrate manufacturers, fire safety labs, and regulatory compliance teams.

3.Equipment compatibility description

The measuring device meets the requirements of multiple standards through the following designs:

1.Foaming multiple test: It uses a standard foam gun (such as PQ4/PQ8) and a measuring cylinder method, which meets the flow control and data acquisition requirements of ISO 7203-1 and EN 1568.

2.Liquid separation time measurement: The brass/stainless steel material of the liquid separation receiving tank and the automatic timing function meet the accuracy requirements of UL 162 and NFPA 11.
 

3.Pressure control: The proportional control valve and electromagnetic flowmeter ensure stable liquid supply pressure (0.3-0.65 MPa), which is compatible with the test conditions of ASTM D1881.

 

4. Main technical parameters:

1 Composition: It consists of a low-multiple foam generation system, a standard foam gun, a low-multiple foam collector, and a low-multiple foam liquid analysis tester.

2 Low-multiple foam generation system: It consists of an air inlet pipe, a pressure-resistant storage tank, a pressure gauge, a foam liquid delivery pipe, and an adjustable bracket;
