NFPA 1150-2017 PDF Download

NFPA 1150-2017 is a standard that outlines the criteria and requirements for foam chemicals used in controlling, suppressing, or preventing fires in Class A fuels. The standard covers various aspects such as acceptance requirements, test methods, labeling, and documentation for foam concentrate, foam solution, and foam.

The chapters in this standard provide detailed information on the characteristics and acceptance requirements for foam chemicals, as well as the test methods used to assess their effectiveness. These test methods address issues such as exposure protection effectiveness, health and safety considerations, environmental impact, physical properties, and corrosion and materials compatibility.

A notable addition in the 2017 edition is a new section within Chapter 5 that provides requirements for alternate viscosity test methods. This is especially useful in situations where the viscosity of the foam chemical is too low to obtain meaningful results using traditional methods.
