Degraded foam can reduce fire suppression power and delay response. Liberty Equipment identifies issues early with precise foam testing that meets critical safety standards.
Foam Testing in Fredericksburg, Virginia
Firefighting foam is one of the most effective suppression agents for flammable liquids and Class B fires—only when it performs as intended. Over time, high-quality foam concentrates can degrade due to dilution, contamination, temperature extremes, or system malfunction, putting personnel and property at risk.
At Liberty, our foam testing services ensure that every concentrate, proportioner, and discharge system meets the requirements for NFPA 1910 standards and other leading international standards. With our EVT-certified technicians, we verify that your foam system performs as designed.
What’s Included in Our Foam Testing Program
Our technicians perform complete inspections and analysis of both the foam concentrate and the proportioning system to ensure compliance and readiness:
- Visual Inspection
- Sample Collection and Laboratory Testing
- Concentration Accuracy Testing
- Foam Quality and Expansion Testing
- Temperature and Storage Condition Assessment
- Discharge Flow Tests
- Comprehensive Reporting
Why Is Annual Foam Concentrate Testing Important?
Although foam concentrates can last over 10 years when stored correctly, factors like moisture, heat, or contamination can degrade their performance. Annual testing identifies these issues early to ensure consistent fire suppression reliability.
What Are the Common Causes of Foam Degradation?
Foam can deteriorate from water dilution, contamination by debris or microbes, exposure to extreme temperatures, or system failures like faulty proportioners and blocked discharge lines that affect foam quality and performance.
