Mixing ratio Bilt Hammer-how?
Discussion
I got this info from Pete Hamber
'the dilution will need to be worked out for your equipment - you MUST get 4-5% of auto foam hitting the panel so this will be dependent on the flow rate of equipment . Fill your lance with plain water and then discharge into a container - you can then measure the rate the lance is feeding into the water stream. For example if the lance bottle holds 1 litre and was emptied by discharging, measure the contents of the container you discharged into - if you get 10 litres your bottle is mixing a 10% ratio so you would then know to mix auto foam 50/50 in your bottle to make 5% at panel
best performance is to apply with cold water, rinse with hot'
if this is too complicated start at 1 part foam to 3 parts water - and adjust your flow rate/pattern using the lance 'controls'
hope this helps
