Abstract The use of nonaspirating nozzles for effective application of aqueous film-forming foam is almost a controversial topic. Fire tests on gasoline compared several commercial nozzles (aspirating and nonaspirating), revealing significant difference in the extinguishment of large fires. A new variable stream nonaspirating nozzle was tested, and by comparison found to be marginally acceptable. Consequences of choosing the wrong equipment for use with various foams and their use on a variety of flammable liquids are discussed.
