in-line inductor : This type of proportioner educts or drafts foam concentrate from a container or tank by venturi action, utilizing the operating pressure of the hose water stream on which it is installed, injecting concentrate into that flow of water. 4, record 4, English, - in%2Dline%20foam%20concentrate%20inducer
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 CONT
There are three different types of foam proportioners commonly used in the fire service: line eductors, balanced pressure proportioners, and around-the-pump proportioners. The line eductor is the simplest and least expensive proportioning device. It has no moving parts in the water way, which makes it durable and dependable. The line eductor may be attached to the hoseline or may be part of the nozzle. There are two different types of line eductors: the in-line eductor and the self-educting nozzle. Both types of eductors use the venturi principle to draft foam concentrate into the water stream. As water at high pressure passes over a reduced opening, it creates a low-pressure area near the outlet side of the eductor. This low-pressure area creates a suction effect. The eductor pickup tube is connected to the eductor at this low-pressure point. The pickup tube submerged in the foam concentrate draws concentrate into the water stream, creating a foam water solution. 6, record 4, English, - in%2Dline%20foam%20concentrate%20inducer

Under some circumstances, the force of a water stream from a fire hose or pump can be used to contain or divert an oil slick; a high-pressure air flow will produce the same results. These techniques have been used with some success to keep oil out of a gap between conventional floating booms or as a temporary containment measure while a boom is being deployed. Other uses of air and water streams include directing oil towards a recovery site, flushing oil from beneath docks, and adjustment of booms once they are in place. 2, record 11, English, - air%2Fwater%20barrier

Dans certaines circonstances, la force du jet d'un boyau d'incendie ou d'une pompe peut retenir ou détourner une nappe; un jet d'air à haute pression produit un résultat semblable. Ces techniques ont fait leurs preuves en protégeant les brèches dans les barrières ordinaires ou comme mesure temporaire de retenue pendant la mise en place des barrières. Les jets d'air ou d'eau servent aussi à diriger les nappes vers les zones de récupération, à les déloger de sous les docks et à ajuster des barrières déjà en place. 1, record 11, French, - jets%20d%27air%20ou%20d%27eau
