Select the cylinder which provides at least the minimum required foam
charge
Multiple cylinders of identical size can be used to protect larger areas
Cylinders must be located so as not subjected to in excess of 55oC

Discharge Time
Estimate the discharge time for the system based on
cylinder and nozzles selected.
Discharge Time (sec) = AFFF volume/discharge flow rate
Discharge Flow Rate can be estimated from the graph (or
see formula in manual)

Hose Size Volume (ltrs / m)
1/2” 0.12

A combination of hose sizes can be used when designing a Discharge System.
For example:
1/2" Stainless Steel Tube
8x 60° angle High Flow nozzles:
Nozzle Flow Value = 16
3/4" Hose
4x 50° angle Med Flow nozzles: 10 2 2 2 2

10 service hours or Daily Operator / Owner / None, unless requested from owner
Maintainer / Manufacturer
Every 50 service hours or Operator / Owner / None, unless requested from owner
weekly Maintainer / Manufacturer
Every 1000 service hours or 6 Maintainer / Manufacturer Service Report / Logbook and
monthly service record tag (Level 1)
Every 2000 service hours or Maintainer / Manufacturer Service Report / Logbook and
12 monthly service record tag (Level 2)
Level 1 - 6 monthly
Level 2 - Yearly
Level 3 - 3 yearly
Level 4 - 6 yearly
Level 5 - After extinguisher use.
These levels apply to all portable and wheeled fire extinguishers EXCEPT
those, which are permanently located in an AGGRESSIVE
ENVIRONMENT.
Level 5 - After Yes Can be used. Although, the tasks that are carried out,
extinguisher use. are usually identical to a 2000hrs or 12 monthly
