<p>Watermark: Fire Safety Academy logo icon, 70 px, 45 % opacity</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Summary ==<br /> Schematic relation between application rate and fire control time, as found in aviation foam tests: no control below the critical rate, little gain above about 4.1 L/(m²·min) for AFFF. Based on Scheffey (2002), pp. 4-100 to 4-101.<br /> <br /> Original illustration for [[Critical water application rate]], level 4 Expert.<br /> <br /> * Source basis: Scheffey (2002), p. 4-100 (critical application rate definition; asymptotic rates; Figure 4-4.4) and p. 4-101 (Figure 4-4.6 note: no control at 0.03 gpm/ft²); the trend follows Figure 4-4.4 on p. 4-100: redraw, do not copy<br /> * Alt text: Schematic curve: fire control time falls steeply above a critical application rate and levels off at higher rates.<br /> <br /> == Licensing ==<br /> New drawing by Fire Safety Academy. © Fire Safety Academy.</div>
