2. Ballistic foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_foam

   Ballistic foam is a type of polyurethane foam placed in the dry bays of aircraft. Ballistic foam prevents fires, adds strength to the structure, slows down the speed of shrapnel during attacks, and offers cost-effective protection. Ballistic foam is placed in the dry bays to provide a barrier between the spark and the fuel.

3. Spray foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_foam

   Spray foam insulation or spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is an alternative to traditional building insulation such as fiberglass. A two-component mixture composed of isocyanate and polyol resin comes together at the tip of a gun, and forms an expanding foam that is sprayed onto roof tiles, concrete slabs, into wall cavities, or through holes ...

4. Self-sealing fuel tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-sealing_fuel_tank

   A self-sealing fuel tank (SSFT) is a type of fuel tank, typically used in aircraft fuel tanks or fuel bladders, that prevents them from leaking fuel and igniting after being damaged. Typical self-sealing tanks have layers of rubber and reinforcing fabric, one of vulcanized rubber and one of untreated natural rubber, which can absorb fuel when ...

5. API oil–water separator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API_oil–water_separator

   Further water treatment is designed to remove oil droplets smaller than 150 micron, dissolved materials and hydrocarbons, heavier oils or other contaminants not removed by the API. Secondary treatment technologies include dissolved air flotation (DAF) , Anaerobic and Aerobic biological treatment, Parallel Plate Separators, Hydrocyclone , Walnut ...

6. Aerosol spray dispenser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerosol_spray_dispenser

   Aerosol spray is a type of dispensing system which creates an aerosol mist of liquid particles. It comprises a can or bottle that contains a payload, and a propellant under pressure. When the container's valve is opened, the payload is forced out of a small opening and emerges as an aerosol or mist. Aerosol spray can

7. Twin-agent fire extinguishing system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin-agent_fire...

   Dry chemical tank capacities range from 450 to 3,000 pounds (200 to 1,360 kg). AFFF solution capacity ranges from 50 to 250 US gallons (190 to 950 L). Dry chemical flow rates vary from 5 to 8 pounds (2.3 to 3.6 kg) per second and 35 to 60 US gallons (130 to 230 L) per minute for the foam for handline application [ citation needed ] .

8. Fast fuel system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_fuel_system

   The automatic shut off nozzle shuts off when pressure in the fuel system reaches 9 psi (62 kPa) or greater. Due to the pressure introduced into the fuel tank, most tanks require additional structure to prevent bursting or damaged weld joints. This bursting is both a safety and environmental hazard.

9. Firefighting foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefighting_foam

   Firefighting foam is a foam used for fire suppression. Its role is to cool the fire and to coat the fuel, preventing its contact with oxygen, thus achieving suppression of the combustion. Firefighting foam was invented by the Moldovan engineer and chemist Aleksandr Loran in 1902. [1] The surfactants used must produce foam in concentrations of ...
