1 National Fire Protection Association 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA Phone: Fax: M E M O R A N D U M To: From: NFPA Technical Committee on Foam Elena Carroll, Administrator, Technical Projects Date: April 10, 2014 Subject: NFPA 11 Second Draft TC FINAL Ballot Results (F2014 Cycle) According to the final ballot results, all ballot items received the necessary affirmative votes to pass ballot. 29 Members Eligible to Vote 4 Not Returned (Hugill, Owen, Ramsden, Westwood) 25 Affirmative on All Revisions (Borowski with comment) 0 Negatives 0 Abstentions The attached report shows the number of affirmative, negative, and abstaining votes as well as the explanation of the vote for each second revision. There are two criteria necessary for each second revision to pass ballot: (1) simple majority and (2) affirmative 2 /3 vote. The mock examples below show how the calculations are determined. (1) Example for Simple Majority: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members, 11 affirmative votes are required to pass ballot. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligible to vote 2 = = 11) (2) Example for Affirmative 2 /3: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members and 1 member did not return their ballot and 2 members abstained, the number of affirmative votes required would be 12. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligble to vote 1 not returned 2 abstentions = 17 x 0.66 = = 12 ) As always please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Carbon Steel pipe should be added without any restrictions like discharge devices closed to atmosphere and piping filled with foam solution or water. We are allowing galvanized pipe without these restrictions and galvanized pipe has shown galvanic corrision in both closed and open head systems. The corrision would then cause flaking of the zinc which may clog the proportioners. 0 of 41 4/10/2014 9:12 AM

44 7 of 41 4/10/2014 9:12 AM D Surrogate Liquid Test Method.

45 8 of 41 4/10/2014 9:12 AM In this approach, surrogate test liquids are formulated specifically to simulate the flow behavior (viscosity characteristics) and approximate conductivity or refractive index of the foam concentrate used in the system. An example of a graph generated from the recorded data is shown in Figure D.5.2.2(a). Figure D.5.2.2(a) Plot of Real-Time Test Data Gathered from Surrogate Liquid Injection Rate Test. For initial system commissioning, the surrogate liquid can be placed directly in the foam system tank for injection rate tests and then flushed out before filling the tank with foam concentrate. After the system has been filled with foam concentrate it can still be tested using a surrogate test liquid, but installation of some additional connections on the proportioning system piping are required. These additional connections enable the surrogate test liquid to be injected into the proportioning system in place of the foam concentrate already in the foam storage tank. Since there are many types of proportioning systems, the test set-up arrangement varies according to the system type. Figure D.5.2.2(b) through Figure D.5.2.2(d) are illustrations of surrogate liquid test set-up arrangements for types of the most commonly used proportioning systems.
