ANSUL line proportioners are designed to introduce a controlled flow of

foam concentrate into a pressurized water stream. They provide an inex-


pensive foam proportioning means for systems requiring fixed flow rates
and where available water supply pressures are adequate. Depending
on specific foam systems design, line proportioners may operate with
inlet pressures as low as 80 psi (552 kPa). However, in most systems a
water pressure between 125 psi and 200 psi (862 and 1379 kPa) is
required. The flow rate and operating pressure required at the foam
making device are of primary importance in determining the required
line proportioner inlet pressure. The line proportioner must match the
flow rate of the foam making discharge device.
ANSUL model PL line proportioners can be used with all types of foam
concentrates. The proportioners are available in a wide range of sizes for
fixed foam system applications. These applications also require an
atmospheric foam concentrate storage tank as shown in the Typical Line
Proportioning System schematic.
Portable line proportioners with fire hose thread connections (typically for
use with matched handline nozzles) are also available for the PL-60
through PL-350 sizes.
Typical applications include use by municipal fire departments and CFR
type vehicles, or with fixed systems, for protecting flammable liquid
storage tanks, loading racks, dike areas, and anywhere flammable
liquids are used, stored, processed, or transported.
Each ANSUL line proportioner consists of a body, jet, throat, and meter-
ing orifice all of which are corrosion-resistant brass.
The line proportioner body is designed with a female NPT threaded inlet
and a male NPT threaded outlet (see Line Proportioner Dimensions).
The proportioner body is clearly marked with a flow direction arrow and
the designed concentration percentage.
The inlet jet is secured by a stainless steel retaining ring on models
PL-60 through PL-350; the inlet jet is threaded in place on models
PL-420 through PL-730. The metering orifice or adjustable metering
valve is sized according to the type and percentage of foam concentrate
used. The metering orifice is secured with a stainless steel retaining ring
to enable ease of change-over to other concentrate percentages.
In fixed systems the line proportioner may be mounted at a maximum
distance of 8 ft (2.4 m) above the minimum foam liquid surface.
The line proportioner body, jet, and throat shall be of brass construction.
Retaining rings for both the inlet jet and the metering orifice shall be
stainless steel.
The line proportioner body shall have a female NPT inlet and male NPT
outlet (see Line Proportioner Dimensions). The body shall be clearly
marked with a flow direction arrow and the percentage of foam concen-
trate that the proportioner was designed to provide.
The convergent inlet jet shall have a rounded inlet and a smooth
machined finish to ensure minimum friction loss. It shall be retained by a
stainless steel retaining ring or shall be threaded in place. The inlet jet
shall terminate in the foam concentrate annulus chamber, and shall be
concentric with and set back from the throat and pressure recovery
section. Line proportioner outlet pressure recovery shall be 65% of the
inlet pressure. The line proportioner shall be approved for mounting up to
a maximum height of 8 ft (2.4 m) above the minimum foam liquid
surface.
The foam concentrate metering orifice shall be machined to the proper
diameter for the agent. It shall rest on a machined surface to prevent
leakage and shall be secured by a removable stainless steel retaining
ring.

2. Downstream pipe, fittings, elevation head, and discharge devices
must not result in line proportioner outlet backpressure in excess of
65% of line proportioner inlet pressure. (Consult with the system
designer to verify.)
3. A check valve must be installed in the foam concentrate line with the
direction of flow from the foam concentrate storage tank to the line
proportioner. (See Figure 1.)
4. A shutoff valve in the foam concentrate line is recommended to
enable flush out of foam solution piping or allow for water only
discharge. (See Figure 1.)
5. Piping to foam concentrate inlet must be sized to match the foam
concentrate inlet piping size. (See Figure 2, Dimension B.)
6. ANSUL recommends that the foam concentrate inlet line not exceed
11 ft (3.4 m) of pipe, two 90elbows, one swing check valve, and one
nonrestricting shutoff valve.
NOTICE
Exceeding foam concentrate line limitations or using pipe
sizes smaller than the foam concentrate inlet of the line
proportioner may reduce concentration percentages.

An atmospheric foam concentrate storage tank is one component of a
foam proportioning system. The high density cross-linked polyethylene
(XLPE) storage tanks supplied by ANSUL are compatible with all
ANSUL foam concentrates including ANSULITE AFFF, ANSULITE
Alcohol Resistant AFFF, JET-X High Expansion, SILV-EX, along with
ANSUL 3% Protein and Fluoroprotein concentrates. Because of the
excellent properties of XLPE relating to stress crack resistance, impact
strength, light weight and overall toughness, poly tanks are an excellent
choice for many foam system applications. An atmospheric concentrate
tank is typically used in conjunction with an ANSUL balanced pressure
pump proportioning skid unit or in-line balanced pressure proportion-
ing system. Additionally, similar tanks could be used with an ANSUL
line proportioning system.
The atmospheric poly foam concentrate tanks are supplied with fittings
as shown on drawings enclosed. There are two (2) return fittings
provided on all tanks located 180 degrees apart to enable ease and flex-
ibility for piping on site. Either connection can be used as the foam
concentrate return with the other return connection having the provided
pipe plug installed. The poly tanks are translucent and have a level
gauge strip for approximating tank contents.
Optional tank trim components are also available including:
Tank Trim Package (2 in. pressure/vacuum vent and 1 1/2 in. drain
valve)
Low Liquid Level Float Switch normally open or normally closed
contact
Flex Connectors (1 1/2 in. 6 in.)
Seismic Restraints (Contact Ansul Technical Services for details.)
Poly tanks of alternate sizes and configurations are also available.
ANSUL can also provide tanks in fiberglass, carbon steel, and stainless
steel. Contact ANSUL Applications Engineering Department for addi-
tional information.
Storage tanks shall be designed for storage of foam concentrate at
atmospheric pressure and shall be of vertical, cylindrical, high density
cross-linked polyethylene construction. Tanks shall be equipped with the
following: valved drain/fill connection, foam concentration pump suction
and return connections, inspection hatch, pressure/vacuum vent valve,
and gauge or unbreakable sight glass to permit visual determination of
level of tank contents. The foam concentrate storage tank shall have a
minimum capacity to provide sufficient foam concentrate for the time
specified when the system is discharging foam solution at total
maximum system flow.

WARNING: DO NOT FILL OR UNLOAD FUEL FROM A STORAGE
TANK UNLESS IT IS CERTAIN THAT THE TANK VENTS WILL OPER-
ATE PROPERLY. Morrison tank vents are designed only for use on shop
fabricated atmospheric tanks which have been built and tested in
accordance with UL 142, NFPA 30 & 30A, and API 650 and in accordance
with all applicable local, state, and federal laws. In normal operation, dust
and debris can accumulate in vent openings and block air passages.
Certain atmospheric conditions such as a sudden drop in temperature,
below freezing temperatures, and freezing rain can cause moisture to enter
the vent and freeze which can restrict internal movement of vent
mechanisms and block air passages. All storage tank vent air passages
must be completely free of restriction and all vent mechanisms must have
free movement in order to insure proper operation. Any restriction of airflow
can cause excessive pressure or vacuum to build up in the storage tank,
which can result in structural damage to the tank, fuel spillage, property
damage, fire, injury, and death. Monthly inspection, and immediate
inspection during freezing conditions, by someone familiar with the proper
operation of storage tank vents, is required to insure venting devices are
functioning properly before filling or unloading a tank.
WARNING: Normal vents such as pressure vacuum and updraft vents
for aboveground storage tanks should be sized according to NFPA 30
(2008) 21.4.3
Fig. 548 Pressure/Vacuum Vents
Morrison Bros. Co.
Specification Sheet
The Morrison Fig. 548 pressure/vacuum vent with gauge hatch is designed for normal venting
of Aboveground Storage Tanks. It allows tanks to breathe during filling and withdrawing
operations. Pressure/ Vacuum poppets
seal vapors in the tank when pressure
is equalized. This vent must be used
in conjunction with an emergency vent
and it is recommended that the
opening pressure setting is set below
that of the emergency vent so the
normal vent relieves first.

ANSULITE 6% (AFC-3) AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam)
Concentrate is formulated from specialty fluorochemical and hydrocar-
bon surfactants along with solvents. It is transported and stored as a
concentrate to provide ease of use and considerable savings in weight
and space.
It is intended for use as a 6% proportioned solution in fresh, salt or hard
water. It may also be used and stored as a 6% premixed solution in
fresh or potable water only. The correct proportioning or mixture ratio is
6 parts of concentrate to 94 parts of water.
Three fire extinguishment mechanisms are in effect when using
ANSULITE 6% (AFC-3) AFFF Concentrate. First, an aqueous film is
formed which works to help prevent the release of fuel vapor. Second,
the foam blanket from which the film-forming liquid drains effectively
excludes oxygen from the fuel surface. Third, the water content of the
foam provides a cooling effect.
Physiochemical Properties at 77 F (25 C)
Appearance Colorless to Pale Yellow Liquid
Density 1.013 g/ml 0.020
pH 7.0 8.5
Refractive Index 1.3390 0.0030
Surface Tension (6% Solution) 18 1 dynes/cm
Viscosity 2 1 centistokes
ANSULITE 6% (AFC-3) AFFF Concentrate is intended for use on Class
B hydrocarbon fuel fires having low water solubility such as various
crude oils, gasolines, diesel fuels, aviation fuels, etc. It is not suitable
for use on fuels having appreciable water solubility (polar
solvents), i.e., methyl and ethyl alcohol, acetone, and methyl ethyl
ketone. It can be used with both aspirating and non-aspirating discharge
devices because of the low energy required to make it foam.
Its excellent wetting characteristics make it useful in combating Class A
fires as well. It can be used with dry chemical extinguishing agents
without regard to the order of application to provide even greater fire
protection capability.
Fire Performance The fire performance of ANSULITE 6% (AFC-3)
AFFF Concentrate is measured against specifications and standards
such as U.S. Military Specification MIL-F-24385 but is not on the
Qualified Product List (QPL). ANSULITE 6% (AFC-3) AFFF
Concentrate has been tested to Underwriters Laboratories Standard
162. Reports covering this fire performance are available on request
since standards and specifications such as those cited are continuously
being upgraded and changed.
Foaming Properties When used with fresh, salt, or hard water at the
correct dilution with most conventional foam making equipment, the
expansion will vary depending on the performance characteristics of the
equipment. Aspirating discharge devices produce expansion ratios of
from 6:1 to 10:1 depending primarily on type and flow rate. Subsurface
injection generally produces expansion ratios of 2:1 to 3:1. Non-aspirat-
ing devices such as handline water fog/stream nozzles or standard
sprinkler heads give expansion ratios of 2:1 to 4:1.
Proportioning ANSULITE 6% (AFC-3) AFFF Concentrate can be
proportioned easily at the correct dilution using most conventional
proportioning equipment such as:
1. Balanced pressure and in-line balanced pressure pumped proportion-
ing equipment
2. Balanced pressure bladder tank type proportioner
3. Around-the-pump type proportioners
4. Fixed or portable (in-line) venturi type proportioners
5. Handline nozzles with fixed induction/ pickup tubes
The minimum and maximum usable temperatures for ANSULITE 6%
(AFC-3) AFFF Concentrate in this equipment is 35 F (2 C) to 120 F
(49 C) respectively.
Storage/Shelf Life When stored in the packaging supplied (polyethyl-
ene drums or pails) or in equipment recommended by the manufacturer
as part of the foam system and within the temperature limits specified
the shelf life of ANSULITE 6% (AFC-3) AFFF Concentrate is about
20-25 years.
The factors affecting shelf life and stability for ANSULITE AFFF Agents
are discussed in detail in Ansul Technical Bulletin No. 54. If the product
is frozen during storage or transportation, thawing will render the product
completely usable.
Compatibility Ansul has conducted testing with admixtures of different
manufacturers 6% AFFF products in varying proportions and is satisfied
that the ANSULITE 6% AFFF is compatible with these products. Refer to
Ansul Technical Bulletin No. 48 for a more detailed discussion of
compatibility.
Different types of foam concentrates, i.e., AFFF, protein base, etc.,
should not be mixed under any circumstances.
Materials of Construction Compatibility Tests have been performed
with ANSULITE 6% (AFC-3) AFFF Concentrate verifying its compatibility
with standard carbon steel black pipe and pipe manufactured from
various stainless steel or brass compounds. Alternative pipe, fittings, and
valves may be used in some cases if acceptable to the customer and/or
the authority having jurisdiction.
Galvanized pipe and fittings must not be used in areas where undiluted
concentrate will contact them since corrosion will result.
Refer to Ansul Technical Bulletin No. 59 addressing acceptable materials
of construction for use with ANSUL foam concentrates.
Inspection As with any fire extinguishing agent, ANSULITE 6%
(AFC-3) AFFF Concentrate, whether in the concentrate or pre-mixed
form should be inspected periodically. Please refer to the Field
Inspection Manual, Ansul Part No. 31274, for the detailed procedures to
perform this inspection. An annual inspection is recommended unless
unusual conditions of exposure occur, such as are described in Ansul
Technical Bulletin No. 54. In such cases, ANSULs recommendation
should be sought.

It is impractical for ANSUL to list its ANSULITE 6% agents with every
piece of UL Iisted hardware. Moreover, there are numerous foam hard-
ware components without UL Iistings that cannot be listed for use with
any AFFF agent.
Many unlisted pieces of foam hardware should be similar to those listed.
However, on installations where ANSULITE 6% may be used with hard-
ware components of significantly different types than those tested,
contact ANSUL for recommendations.
ANSULITE 6% AFC-3 AFFF Concentrate is available in pails, drums,
totes, or bulk shipment.
