Abstract:
Systems and methods for determining the accuracy of a foam addition system on a firefighting vehicle are disclosed. The methods may include measuring the amount of a test water stream flowing through a foam metering device.

Claim (Index 23):
A surrogate foam test system for testing a foam distribution system of a fire fighting vehicle, comprising:\n a water tank having an outlet coupled to a flush line, wherein the water tank provides water through the outlet; a foam storage tank having an outlet coupled to a foam feed line, wherein the foam storage tank provides a foam fire suppressant; a flush valve coupled to the flush line, wherein the flush line extends through the flush valve and into the foam feed line at a junction; a foam valve coupled to the foam feed line before the junction, wherein the foam feed line extends through the foam valve and accepts the flush line the junction; a proportioning device coupled to the foam feed line after the junction, wherein the proportioning device is configured to control a flow rate of water therethrough; an eductor comprising a first inlet coupled to a fluid outlet line from the proportioning device and a second inlet coupled to a water feed line from the water tank, wherein the eductor is configured to mix water from the water feed line and water from the proportioning device and discharge a mixed fluid; and a flow meter coupled to the flush line between the flush valve and the junction, wherein the flow meter is configured to monitor a flow rate of the water within the flush line.
