Prenosna oprema za črpanje in uporabo gasilnega sredstva iz gasilskih črpalk - Prenosni monitorji - 3. del: Gasilno sredstvo - pena

Poleg zahtev, podanih v EN 15767-1, ta del tega evropskega standarda velja za sredstva, zasnovana za vsrkavanje zraka ter črpanje in uporabo težke pene ter, ter v nekaterih primerih, za dodajanje koncentrata za peno. Določa zahteve za varnost, zmogljivost, klasifikacijo in oznake, kot tudi preskusne metode, navodila za uporabo ter vzdrževanje in označevanje. Ta evropski standard velja zgolj za gasilna sredstva – pene, ki so bile proizvedene po datumu njegove objave.

Overview

EN 15767-3:2010 is the CEN European standard that specifies requirements for portable foam devices used with fire fighting pumps. As Part 3 of the EN 15767 series, it covers devices designed to aspirate air and project low-expansion foam, and in some cases to induct foam concentrate. The standard sets rules for safety, performance, classification, designation, test methods, user/maintenance instructions and marking. It applies only to foam devices manufactured after the publication date.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope: Foam devices for low-expansion foam projection and optional concentrate induction; complements EN 15767‑1 (general requirements).
• Hydraulic characteristics
  • Reference pressure (pR): 6 ± 0.1 bar (used for flow measurements and tests).
  • Nominal pressure (pN): 16 bar.
  • Flowrate measurement tolerance: indicated flowrates at pR shall be within −0 / +10% of the setting.
  • Effective throw: minimum effective throw required for flowrate positions above 500 l/min (see standard charts).
  • Spray angle: self-inducting nozzles must have a spray angle ≥ 100°.
• Mechanical & ergonomic
  • Maximum mass limits tied to Qmax (e.g., up to 4 kg for Qmax <2 000 l/min; higher bands for larger flows).
  • Maximum operating torques: levers 20 N·m, valve handles and rotating elements 15 N·m (up to nominal pressure).
  • Clear marking for flow and jet adjustment positions.
• Materials and durability
  • Devices must pass heat (24 h at 55 ± 2 °C) and frost (drain and −15 ± 2 °C for 30 min) sensitivity tests.
• Test methods
  • Jet spray angle, flow and throw, and environmental tests performed with water (Annex A notes foam concentrate influences performance).
  • Measurement conditions specified (e.g., nozzle 1.5 m above ground, wind < 2 m/s; throw measured at 30° inclination).
• Documentation & marking
  • Each unit must include an instruction and maintenance handbook, datasheet (Annex C), and permanent marking: manufacturer ID, serial/batch & year, reference to EN 15767-3, Qmax, pN, jet/flow positions, etc.

Practical applications and users

• Intended for: manufacturers of portable monitors and foam devices, test and certification laboratories, procurement teams in fire services, fire engineering specifiers, and maintenance organizations.
• Use cases:
  • Selection and procurement of portable foam monitors for municipal, industrial or marine firefighting.
  • Factory and acceptance testing to verify flowrates, throw, spray angle and environmental resilience.
  • Preparing user manuals, maintenance routines and compliance documentation for CE/National standard conformity.

Related standards

• EN 15767-1:2009 - Portable monitors: General requirements for portable monitor assemblies
• EN 15767-2 - Portable monitors: Water nozzles
• EN 1568 series - Foam concentrates and definitions referenced for foam terms and expansion classes

EN 15767-3:2010 helps ensure portable foam devices meet repeatable performance, safety and documentation standards for reliable firefighting operations using low-expansion foam.
