FOAM RATIO CONTROLLER (Between Flange) HARDWARE

Transcription

1 FOAM RATIO CONTROLLER (Between Flange) HARDWARE Features Compatible with all type foam concentrates Fresh or saltwater use Proportions at 1%, 3% or 6% Vertical or horizontal position for installation versatility Bronze construction for durability and performance Description SOLBERG Ratio Controllers are modified venturi devices designed to meter the correct amount of foam concentrate into a water stream over a specified range of flow and pressure rates with minimal pressure loss. The ratio controller consists of three components: the body with water inlet, metering orifice located in the foam concentrate inlet, and throat (nozzle) located downstream from the water inlet. The ratio controller is manufactured in four sizes 3.", 4.", 6." and 8." (76 mm, 12 mm, 2 mm, 23 mm). Application SOLBERG Ratio Controllers are commonly used in bladder tank systems, balanced or inline balanced* pressure proportioning systems for aircraft hangars, loading racks, tank farms, and foam-water sprinkler systems. Specifications The SOLBERG Ratio Controller is designed for installation between two Class flanges of the same nominal size as the ratio controller. The components are constructed of ASTM 8--- bronze and the inlet is tapered and machined to a smooth finish to maximize water stream efficiency. The inlet nozzle and metering orifice are secured by a stainless steel retaining ring. The foam concentrate inlet has a female NPT thread and contains a foam concentrate metering orifice to proportion over the specified flow range without any manual adjustment. The SOLBERG Foam Ratio Controller is to be installed with a minimum of pipe diameters of straight pipe both upstream and downstream of the proportioner. Certifications Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
