SOME ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF HIGH EXPANSION FOAM

Thorne, P.F. and Tucker, D.M., 1971. SOME ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF HIGH EXPANSION FOAM. Fire Research Notes 911


ABSTRACT

The electrical resistance of foams has been measured as a function of expansion using simple conductivity cells which can also be used as expansion meters. The electrical shock hazard of medium and high expansion foam when used on fires involving live electrical equipment is assessed.
