Description
SOLBERG Threaded Proportioners
are modified venturi ratio controllers
that accurately mix and meter
foam concentrate into fire-water
streams. Each proportioner consists
of the following components: body,
inlet nozzle, and metering orifice
constructed out of ASTM 85-5-5-5
bronze material. The proportioner is
designed with a male NPT threaded
inlet and a male threaded outlet in
sizes of 2.0" (51 mm) and 2.5"
(64 mm), with the flow direction arrow
clearly marked. During operation,
water flows through the modified
venturi to create an area of lower
pressure which is directly effected by
the water velocity as it flows through
the ratio controller.
Application
Typical high-hazard, high-risk
applications including flammable
liquid storage tanks, loading racks,
aircraft hangars, heliports and
anywhere flammable liquids are used,
stored, processed, or transported.
You can count on SOLBERG
Threaded Proportioners to correctly
proportion and properly handle
the mixing of SOLBERG foam
concentrates into a water stream
with little pressure loss. SOLBERG
Threaded Proportioners are UL
listed when used with Solberg
foam concentrates and can be concentrate type. The inlet nozzle is
used with bladder tank systems designed with a rounded inlet and a
and inline balanced pressure smooth machined finish to ensure
proportioning systems. minimum stream constriction and
maximum velocity. The metering
Specifications orifice is designed to the proper
Each SOLBERG Threaded diameter for the specific foam

is made of bronze with the inlet
nozzle and orifice being secured Certifications
by a stainless retaining ring. The Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL)
inlet and outlet of the proportioner Listed Standard 162, FM Approved
body is to be a male NPT with clear per Approval Standard 5130 (see
markings indicating flow direction and FM Approval Guide).

Solberg is a global company that is a one-stop resource for firefighting foam concentrates
and custom-designed foam suppression systems hardware, offering both traditional and
innovative firefighting foam technology. www.solbergfoam.com
