Viking Fluorine Free Foam

Thank you for choosing Viking to assist you with your foam fire protection needs. This program has been developed to help transition existing low expansion foam water systems to fluorine free or estimate new systems.

1. Listing / Approval

2. Foam Concentrate What's this?

Viking USP - This foam concentrate is specifically used for hydrocarbon fuels with a Flashpoint of 25°F or greater, a Vapor Pressure of 40mmHg or less, and nonblended fuels.

Viking ARK - This foam concentrate is specifically designed to be used on miscible (polar solvents) and non-miscible (hydrocarbon) fuels. This concentrate should be used anytime an alcohol, ethanol, acetone/ketone fuels are present. Should hydrocarbon fuels also be present (mixed fuels scenario) this concentrate should be chosen. In a mixed fuel scenario with hydrocarbons present, after selecting the ARK concentrate use hydrocarbon (most challenging fuel type for the ARK) as the fuel during your selections.

3. Design Standard What's this?

Standard chosen determines the duration of the foam concentrate. While the duration can be adjusted, it will not adjust below the applicable value as determined by the standard.

4. Fuel being protected What's this?

The chosen fuel specifically identifies sprinklers that are available for that hazard. You’ll be given the ability to see availability as you proceed.

If selecting hydrocarbon the fuel must have a Flashpoint of 25°F or greater, a Vapor Pressure of 40mmHg or less, and be a nonblended fuel.

5. System Type What's this?

While many system types are available, this availability is based on the most common systems by the standard selected. Please contact Viking Group Inc. with specific needs if you’re unable to find the system you need.

Sprinkler availability is based upon the selections made previously. By selecting a sprinkler in this selection a density will be assigned based upon the approved fire sprinklers listed on the FM Approval certificate. Be sure to consider installation height of the sprinkler as a part of your selection.

10. Design Information

Please complete the area section of the equation below. While the duration and the safety values have been predetermined, you may have the ability to increase -or- decrease based on the selections made.

An additional 1 minute of test concentrate is included in the concentrate calculation. This does not need to be manually added to the duration.

Notes

  • Order does not come with concentrate supply piping (Bladder tank to proportioner). This piping should be corrosion resistant such as brass or stainless steel. All components for the concentrate supply line are 2-1/2” in diameter.
  • System components are configured with Groove x Groove connections with the valve in the vertical orientation . Other connections and horizontal orientation can be specially requested.
