Firefighting Effectiveness of Aqueous-Film-Forming-Foam (AFFF) Agents

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0774025 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Information was obtained by conducting laboratory experiments and full-scale fire-modeling tests which were of value in estimating the firefighting effectiveness of two aqueous-film-forming-foam AFFF agents. Minimum quantities and application rates were established for each AFFF agent in relation to the size and configuration of simulated aircraft ground fuel-spill fires involving JP-4, JP-5 and aviation gasoline.
