B. METHOD
1. CONNECT TO TEST LINE WITH TEST TANK AS ABOVE DRAWING.
THIS TEST TANK IS TO BE CONFIRM THE LEVEL & VOLUME.
2. FILL THE TEST TANK WITH WATER FULL.
3. OPEN THE FOAM PUMP OUTLET VALVE
4. OPEN THE MAIN VALVE AND START THE FIRE PUMP.
5. START THE FOAM PUMP.
6. CONFIRM THE PRESSURE FDP AND SIP.
(FOAM PRESSURE MUST BE HIGHER THAN THE MAX WATER PRESSURE OF THE FIRE PUMP OR EQUAL TO IT.)
7. OPERATE FOR 1 MINUTE AND CHECK THE AMOUNT.

C. RESULT FOAM PROPORTIONER

1. MIXING RATIO = SOLUTION AMOUNT (SEAWATER + WATER) = ________ %

* TOLERANCE : 1% 0.1%, 3% 0.3%, 6% 0.6%
