Most quality foam products will retain their effectiveness for years under ideal conditions. But a number of "real world" factors can cause foam concentrates to  lose
their extinguishing efficiency.One common problems is water entering a foam storage tank due to a leak or system malfunction. If this should happen, your may unknowingly apply foam during an emergency situation that is too diluted to effectively mitigate the hazard. Another problem is foam concentrate that has thickened during storage, due to evaporation or contamination. This can cause the foam to proportion incorrectly or even plug lines and equipment. And it is not uncommon to find tanks that have been filled with incompatible foam products, which can cause the resulting mixture to be unusable. Because of these and countless other factors, it's important to test your foam inventory annually, to make sure it will perform to the manufacturer's specs. Dyne Technologies' annual foam testing/reminder service is an easy, convenient way to help ensure that your facility is fully protected. |
