What is BS EN 16712-1– Inductors for portable foam equipment about?
BS EN 16712-1 is a European Standard that discusses portable equipment for projecting extinguishing agents supplied by firefighting pumps.
BS EN 16712-1 is the first part of the multi-series that defines requirements and tests which apply to inductors PN 16 which are used to proportion foam concentrate or other additives to the water stream and work using the Venturi principle.
Note: BS EN 16712-1 is not applicable to inductors that are integrated into self-inducting foam branch pipe.
Who is BS EN 16712-1 - Inductors for portable foam equipment for?
BS EN 16712-1 on inductors PN 16 is relevant to:
- Portable foam equipment manufacturers
- Foam generator manufacturers
- Product design engineers
- Fire safety department
- Oil and gas industry
- Marine industry
Why should you use BS EN 16712-1 - Inductors for portable foam equipment?
Inductors are equipment that, using the venturi principle, induce foam concentrates or other additives into a water flow to produce a solution at a predetermined ratio. These inductors
BS EN 16712-1 provides inductor types categorized by the foam water solution flow rate of the inductor, material, and type tests to establish conformity to performance requirements.
As a result, you can ensure that the mechanical hazards arising from moving parts during operation are minimized.
With an accurate means of inducting foam concentrate into water supply, BS EN 16712-1-ensures adequate performance and safety of portable foam equipment during a fire emergency, such that risk of product failure is minimized.
As a result, you can ensure production of generous quantities of fluid along with stable foam, for an optimal fire response in large areas.
