Common failures & inspection points

Proportioner foam ratio accuracy deviation beyond tolerance (target: 0 to +30% or +1 percentage point maximum)

Annual foam solution sampling and laboratory ratio analysis; proportioner functional test at maximum and minimum design flow rates per EN 13565-1

Bladder tank integrity compromise (pressure loss, corrosion, elastomer degradation)

Visual inspection of tank exterior for rust, corrosion, or damage; pressure test of tank shell at 1.5x design pressure; bladder elastomer condition assessment; check relief valve operation

Foam concentrate deterioration, sludging, or chemical stratification in storage

Annual tank inspection for sludge accumulation; foam concentrate sampling and laboratory quality testing; check for separation or discoloration; verify storage temperature maintained within -2 to +60°C limits

Monitor nozzle blockage or fouling preventing proper fog/jet pattern adjustment

Manual nozzle actuation test through full fog-to-jet range; visual inspection of nozzle orifice for debris or crystallization; flush test with clean water; verify elevation and rotation movement smoothness

System piping corrosion or blockage reducing flow and pressure delivery

Hydrostatic pressure test of main and branch piping at 1.5x operating pressure; measure water pressure at proportioner inlet, monitor connection, and deluge valve; flush entire piping system annually; inspect for rust or mineral deposits
