What gas is used to make the foam for firefighters?
The same air that we breathe !!
What gas is used to make foam that fire fighters use?
Most firefighting foams use regular air. Before air is introduced, the liquid foam product is proportioned into water either ahead of time or as it flows through the fire house. Air is mixed with the foam/water solution either at the nozzle or by using an air compressor (Compressed-Air Foam System(CAFS))
What is the gas that helps to make the foam that firefighters use?
fire retardants used in the foam are trimethyltrimethylene glycol and hexylene glycol.
Which is the gas that helps to make foam that firefighters use?
Air is the gas most commonly used to create the foam that firefighters use. Most commonly, the foam is generated by adding a small amount (1%-5%) of foaming agent into the water flow coming from the fire engine. This is done by either injecting it into the water stream with a small metering pump, or with a foam eductor which draws the foam into the water stream using a venturi. A foam play pipe, or Foam nozzle is used on the end of the water line which is designed to draw air into the stream of water, and creates the foam. More recently air compressors (CAFS - Compressed Air Foam System) are being added to some newer fire apparatus which injects air directly into the water stream. This allows for even less water to be used in firefighting, and produces a more consistant foam.
Which gas helps make the foam that firefighter use?
well the tank that holds the foam is compressed with co2 but what actually makes the foam is the nozzle it acts as an aerator and thus making the liquid into foam ----------------------------------------- Air is the most simple example of gas used in foam fire extinguishers.

A gas that helps make foam?
Air is the simplest example.
How is aqueous film foam created for firefighting use?
Aqueous film foam (AFFF) is created by mixing water, fluorochemical surfactants, and stabilizers. The mixture is then aerated to produce a foam that can be used to suppress fires. When applied to a fire, the foam creates a blanket that separates the oxygen from the fuel source, effectively smothering the fire and preventing re-ignition.
What gas helps to make the foam that fire fighters use?
CO2
Which gas is in the foam used by firefighters?
Carbon Dioxide is the most common gas in fire extinguishers.
What is inside foam?
Inside foam is a gas. :)
What is ceramic foam filter?
Ceramic foam filter is the refractory ceramic material. It is used for filtration of molten metal,gas,water and so on.
