Product catalog summary
General Description: The bladder tank is a steel vessel with a rubber bladder containing foam concentrate. It has no moving parts and requires minimal maintenance.
Application Description: Used to introduce foam concentrate into water systems with variable flows and pressures, ideal for upgrading water sprinkler systems to foam/water systems. It maintains constant proportioning through pressure balance.
Product Features: Manufactured to PED (CE marked) or ASME VIII standards, available in volumes up to 12,000 litres, compatible with standard and wide range proportioners.
Connections: Foam/water inlet is flanged according to DIN PN16 or ANSI 150 lbs.
Options: Includes valve and level gauge, level indicator, and fully pre-piped version with proportioners.
Listings and Approvals: Factory Mutual approval for ASME models.
Order Information: Specify tank size and design standard.

Page 1 of 2 (replaces datasheets 1017/7; 9; 11) Product features General description A bladder tank is a steel vessel containing a rubberbladder which in turn contains the foam concentrate. A bladder tank does not have any moving parts and requires a minimum of maintenance. Application description The bladder tank is used to induce foam concentrateinto water systems with variable flows and/or pressures. The system is ideal for upgrading a water sprinkler system to a foam / water sprinkler system. Constant proportioning, irrespective of flow, is achieved by a pressure balance between the foam liquid in the bladder and the water in the system flowing over the proportioner. > Various design standards.
