Indian Standard
SPECIFICATION FOR FOGNOZZLE FOR FIRE BRIGADE USE

( First Revision )
0. FOREWORD 0.1 This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 30 June 1986, after the draft finalized by the Fire Fighting Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council. 0.2 Fognozzle is a type of hand-controlled branch in which the operator can apply water to a heated surface of fire in the form of either a fog (fine mist) or a jet. The added advantage over other hand-controlled branch is that water fog affects uniform cooling of the surface over which it is applied, the cooling effect is maximum and the water can be conserved. The throw from a fognozzle is considerably reduced when it is used for the application of fog. If necessary, the operator can use an extension applicator, carrying a fog-head at its end, which can be fitted to the fognozzle. 0.3 While using the fognozzle, great care shall always be taken regarding operation of hand-controls, particularly when shutting off. This shall be done gradually, as otherwise it may easily cause serious damage to hose and may also be a source of danger to the branchman and others in the vicinity. 0.4 This standard was first published in 1969. This revision has been prepared so as to give flexibility in the design covering essential dimensions and keeping requirements based on performance requirement. The present design is based on design developed so far. 0.5 This edition 2.1 incorporates Amendment No. 1 (September 1999). Side bar indicates modification of the text as the result of incorporation of the amendment. 0.6 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ).

DETAILS FOR FOGNOZZLE

IS : 952 - 1986 4. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.1 The fognozzle head of the fognozzle shall have a flow not less than 225 l/min and jet head of the fognozzle shall have a flow of not less than 400 l/min at a pressure of 7 kgf/cm2 at the inlet of the fognozzle. If the equipment is with applicator, an additional test shall also be conducted with applicator attached to the fog-head for the requirement of the fog. 4.2 The fog-head on the fognozzle shall produce a cone ( see 4.2.1 ) of high velocity fog comprising of finely atomised droplets of uniform size; at an operating pressure of 0.7 MN/mm2 (7 kgf/cm2). The discharge pattern of the fog shall be such that no pockets are left while it is being used on an inflammable liquid surface. 4.2.1 The angle of the cone of fog produced shall not be less than 90 and not more than 120 at the apex. 4.2.2 Hydrostatic Pressure Test Each fognozzle shall be subjected to a hydrostatic pressure of 2.1 MN/m2 (21 kgf/cm2) by suitable adopters for a period of 2.5 minutes for the purpose of locating porosity in the casting and leakage. 4.3 The horizontal reach of the fog pattern shall not be less than 6 m from the fog-head on the fognozzle and not less than 4.5 m from the fog-head on the extension applicator when operating at a pressure of 0.7 MN/mm2 (7 kgf/cm2) in still air. 5. WORKMANSHIP AND FINISH 5.1 All parts shall be of good workmanship and finish and shall be free from burrs and sharp edges. All castings shall be clean and sound and free from plugging, welding or any repaired defects. 6. MARKING 6.1 Each fognozzle with its applicator shall be clearly and permanently marked with the following information: a) Manufacturers name or trade-mark; b) Year of manufacture; and c) The length of applicator, if provided. 6.1.1 The product may also be marked with Standard mark. 6.2 The use of the Standard Mark is governed by the provisions of the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 1986 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. The details of conditions under which the licence for the use of Standard Mark may be granted to manufacturers or producers may be obtained from the Bureau of Indian Standards. 7. CRITERIA FOR CONFORMITY 7.1 Each fognozzle with its applicator shall be checked for the requirements given in this standard. 6
