Fire Extinguishing Agents, Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) Liquid Concentration Partial Percentage
Abstract
The objective of this test series was to qualify 3/4 and 1 percent Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) concentrate for use in Air Force fire fighting vehicles. Specific objectives were: 1. Determine the availability of AFFF in 3/4 and 1 percent concentrations from manufacturers on the Qualified Products List (QPL). 2. Evaluate 3/4 and 1 percent AFFF from each manufacturer in accordance with MIL-F-24385C test procedures and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 412. 3. Determine the compatibility of the concentrates with existing Air Force fire fighting vehicles (P-2, P-4 and P-19). Demonstrate that these vehicles can adequately meter these fractional percentage concentrates. 4. Conduct a minimum of 12 large-scale (8,000 sq ft) JP-4 pool fire tests to compare the effectiveness of the reduced percentage AFFF concentrates with existing 3 percent concentrates. 5. Revise MIL-F-24385C to include production specifications for 3/4 and 1 percent AFFF concentrations.
