How to Use Portable Foam Fire Extinguishers

Confirm the location of the fire source
Before using a foam fire extinguisher, first confirm the location of the fire source. If the fire source is high, appropriate tools should be used to raise the foam fire extinguisher to the appropriate height.

Pull out the safety pin

Foam fire extinguishers have a safety pin that must be removed before use. When pulling out the safety pin, use force to ensure that the safety pin is completely disengaged. Aim the foam fire extinguisher at the fire source, about 1-2 meters away from the fire source, and then press the spray button.

Spray foam

After pressing the nozzle button, the foam fire extinguisher will spray foam to cover the fire source. When spraying, pay attention to the spray direction and try to spray the foam to the root of the fire source.

Put out the fire source

After spraying the foam onto the fire source, use the nozzle of the foam fire extinguisher to sweep backwards to cover the foam evenly on the fire source until the fire source is extinguished.

 

 
What Types of Fires are Portable Foam Fire Extinguishers Suitable For?

It can be used to put out fires caused by common materials such as wood, paper, plastics, rubbish, textiles, and coats. Portable foam fire extinguishers are suitable for class A and the flammable liquids of class B, though not effective for gaseous fires. They spray a type of foam that expands when it hits the air and blankets the fire. This blanket prevents the vapors from rising off the liquid to feed the fire, thus starving it of fuel.

 
What is the Discharge Time of a Portable Foam Fire Extinguisher?

Depending on the capacity, the spraying time of a portable foam fire extinguisher is also different; if the capacity of a portable foam fire extinguisher is 10 liters, the spraying time is about 35 seconds; and for a portable foam fire extinguisher with a capacity of 65 liters, the spraying time is about 150 seconds about.

 
Can Portable Foam Fire Extinguishers be Used in Freezing Temperatures?

AFFF (aqueous film-forming foam) and FFFP (film-forming fluoroprotein) fire extinguishers are rated for use on both Class A and Class B fires. As the name implies, they discharge a foam material rather than a liquid or powder. They are not suitable for use in freezing temperatures.

 
How do you Know you Need to Replace your Portable Foam Fire Extinguisher?

Pressure gauge is in the yellow or red, meaning it's low (if there's no pressure gauge, a professional should inspect it). External damage like a cracked hose or nozzle, broken handle, or missing locking pin. Missing inspection sticker or hang tag. Over Lifespan is 10 years. Has been used before.

 
How to Check a Portable Foam Fire Extinguisher
 

Visual inspection
The first thing that needs to be done is a visual inspection. Check whether the portable foam fire extinguisher has serious bumps or deformations, whether there is extreme rust or cracks, and replace it immediately if necessary. In addition, it is also necessary to confirm whether the physical parameters on the fire extinguisher are clearly visible, such as usage period, production date and other information.

 

Pressure check
There is usually a pressure gauge inside the portable foam fire extinguisher. You need to check whether the pressure is appropriate. If the pressure is too low or too high, it will affect the spray effect. Therefore, you need to inflate or release the pressure in time before use to keep it within the appropriate range.

 

Foam check
The foam agent of a portable foam fire extinguisher is the key to the fire extinguishing effect. Therefore, it is necessary to check the foam concentration, capacity, and sedimentation conditions in the foam container. If the foam cannot be formed or the foam concentration is insufficient, the fire extinguishing effect will be greatly affected.

 

Spray inspection
Finally, there is the spray inspection. The main way to use a portable foam fire extinguisher is to extinguish the fire by spraying foam. Therefore, it is necessary to check whether the nozzle is smooth and whether the spray distance reaches the standard, etc., to avoid malfunction in an emergency.

When using a portable foam fire extinguisher, don't overuse it to avoid wasting the extinguishing agent. Expired portable foam fire extinguishers may become ineffective, so do not use an expired fire extinguisher. Do not use foam fire extinguishers in electrical fires to avoid electric shock. Foam fire extinguishers cannot be used to put out toxic gas fires to prevent the generation of harmful gases.

 

How Often Should Portable Foam Fire Extinguishers be Inspected?
Portable foam fire extinguishers are generally inspected every two months. Regardless of whether the foam fire extinguisher has been used or not, if the production date reaches the specified period, it needs to be sent to the maintenance unit for pressure test inspection. Foam fire extinguishers that have not been pressure tested are not allowed to be used.

 

Working Principle of Portable Foam Fire Extinguisher
A portable foam fire extinguisher puts out fires by covering the flames with a thick blanket of foam. In turn, this deprives the fire of the air supply, thus undermining its capacity to release flammable vapours. When directed towards flammable liquids, the foam allows the liquid to drain from it before forming an aqueous film.
