Foaming Volume and Foam Stability

Abstract

A method of measuring foaming volume is described and investigated to establish the critical factors in its operation. Data on foaming volumes and foam stabilities are given for a series of hydrocarbons and for a range of concentrations of aqueous ethylene-glycol solutions. It is shown that the amount of foam formed depends on the machinery of its production as well as on properties of the liquid; whereas the stability of the foam produced, within specified mechanical limitations, is primarily a function of the liquid.
