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 17):
A foam system operable to be used with a firefighting vehicle that includes a water tank for storing water, a foam tank for storing a liquid foam concentrate, a foam metering device for metering flow of the liquid foam concentrate from the foam tank, and a discharge outlet for discharging liquid from the firefighting vehicle, the foam system comprising:\n a continuous mixing loop; a water inlet located along the mixing loop to receive water from water tank; a liquid outlet located along the mixing loop to supply liquid to the discharge outlet; an eductor connected to the mixing loop and configured to draw fluid into the mixing loop from the foam metering device; a pump connected to the mixing loop and configured to circulate liquid through the mixing loop and to pump liquid to the discharge outlet; a flow control system shiftable between a normal mode and a test mode\n wherein, during the normal mode, flow of the liquid foam concentrate to the foam metering device is permitted and flow of water from the water tank to the foam metering device is prevented, and \n wherein, during the test mode, flow of the liquid foam concentrate to the foam metering device is prevented and flow of water from the water tank to the foam metering device is permitted; and \n a flow meter for measuring an amount of water passed through the foam metering device when the flow control system is in the test mode.
