​

At our lab, we specialize in conducting a wide range of tests on fire fighting foam products

​

Foam Concentrate Testing


We evaluate the quality and performance of foam concentrates used in fire suppression systems. Our tests cover key parameters such as expansion ratio, drainage time, burn-back resistance, and compatibility with various extinguishing agents.

​

Foam Solution Testing


We assess the performance of foam solutions by measuring parameters such as stability, drainage time, and heat resistance. Our testing ensures that the foam solutions deliver optimal fire suppression capabilities when deployed in emergency situations.

​

Foam Proportioning System Testing


We verify the accuracy and efficiency of foam proportioning systems that are essential for the correct mixing and application of foam concentrates. Our tests examine the system's flow rate, pressure, and ratio control to ensure proper functioning and adherence to industry standards.

​

Foam Performance Testing


We conduct comprehensive tests to evaluate the performance of fire fighting foam in extinguishing and controlling fires. These tests involve analyzing the foam's effectiveness in suppressing different types of fires, including Class A, Class B, and polar solvent fires.

​

Compatibility Testing


We assess the compatibility of foam concentrates with firefighting equipment, such as foam generators, nozzles, and delivery systems. Our tests help identify any potential issues that could impact the foam's performance or cause equipment malfunctions.

​

Research and Development


Our laboratory also offers research and development services to assist clients in developing innovative foam formulations and optimizing their fire suppression capabilities. We work closely with clients to understand their specific requirements and provide tailored solutions that meet their needs.
