Foam Test Kits
As recommended by NFPA11, BS.EN 13565-2:2009 and BS 5306, Foam Concentrates and Produced Foams should be inspected and tested at least annually as part of your fire fighting foam maintenance programme.
This testing should be carried out under laboratory conditions to ensure accurate and consistent results. However, it is not always possible to access a Foam Laboratory and for these occasions
we offer "Field Testing Kits" which include an easy to use, step by step manual.
To complement these kits, we also supply additional equipment to help you with your own Foam Testing procedures.
Produced Foam Test Kit
Field Testing Kit - Produced Foam
Designed to enable fire safety professionals to test for themselves on-site the performance of their induction system.
