FEASIBILITY STUDY OF FLOTATION OF SUNKEN VESSELS BY INJECTION OF FOAMED FLOTATION MATERIAL

Abstract

Extensive laboratory tests of several foam formulations under both air pressure and water pressure have produced good foams of low density which are not affected by water environments, elevated pressures or low temperature. These foams have maintained adequate cell integrity and resisted cell rupture upon release of external pressure. Photographs are included which show the sequence of foam flotation events as represented by laboratory testing.
