Tests have been carried out to define the properties of a net material which could be used to retain high expansion foam. The possible use of this net material is to sub-divide large compartments if these are to be protected by high expansion foam. The tests have indicated that net curtains with a mesh area of 0.1 in^2 are likely to retain foam sufficiently to allow the foam to build up to a height of about 20 ft.
