WHAT IS AN ACUTE RADIATION DOSE
|
a dose of ionizing radiation that is recieved overa period of time that is too short for biological recovery to occur.
|
|
|
WHAT IS ADSORPTION
|
adhesion of a foreign substance (such as a chemical agent) to the surface of solid materials (including crevices) or liquids without chemical reaction
|
|
|
WHAT IS AEROSOL
|
A suspension of fine luquid droplets or solid particles in a gaseous medium the particles being small enough to remain suspended for a significant period of time and behave like a vapor.
|
|
|
WHAT IS AEROSOLIZATION
|
the physical process of breaking up a sold or liquid into smallinto small particles or droplets and suspending them in air
|
|
|
WHAT IS AN AFFF SINGLE SPEED INJECTION PUMP
|
a permanently mounted positive displacement electrically driven sliding van type of pump
|
|
|
WHAT IS AN AFFF SPRINKLER SYSTEM
|
it is a subsystem of AFFF generating system
|
|
|
WHAT ARE SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF THE AFFF TANKS
|
rectanglular of cylindrical in shape, and 90/10 copper nickel or corrosion resistant steel. Each service tank is located inside the AFFF station and is fitted with a gooseneck vent, drain connection, fill connection, liquid level indicator, recirculation line
|
|
|
WHAT ARE SOME CHARACTERISTICS AND FUNCTION OF AFFF TRANSFER PUMPS
|
Permanently mounted, single speed, centrifugal type, electrically driven pumps., with 360 gpm cpacity. The transfer pump moves AFFF CONCENTRATE through fill and transfer subsystem to all AFFF STATION SERVICE TANKS ON A SELECTIVE BASIS.
|
|
|
WHAT IS THE AFFF TRANSFER SYSTEM
|
Can deliver AFFF CONCENTRATE TO ON STATION SERVICE TANKS VIA TRANSFER MAIN
|
|
|
WHAT IS THE AFFF TWO SPEED INJECTION PUMP
|
designated to meet the demand for either a low or high firefighting capability. The two speed AFFF pump consists of a positive displacement pump rated at 175 psi a nitir, a reducer, coupled together with flexible coupling and mounted on a steel base.
|
|
|
WHAT ARE AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS
|
A ph of 7 indicates a neutral solution: values below 7 indicate acid solutions and values
|
|
|
WHAT IS AN AIRBURST?
|
a burst where the point of detonation is below an altitude of 100,000 ft and the fireball does not touch surface of the earth.Air blast, thermal radiation, electromagnetic pulses, and initial nuclear radiation neutronand gamma rays are produced around the point of detonation.
|
|
|
WHAT IS AN AIR BLAST?
|
A shockwave that is produced by an explosion. the shock wave initially travels outward at a velocity approx. 7X the speed of sound at high over pressures.
|
|
|
WHAT IS AN AIR CHANGE?
|
the process of introducing a volume of air into a compartment that is equal to the volume of the compartment while simultaniously removing an equal volume. because of mixing, onlu 65% of the air originally in the compartment is removed in one air change.
|
|
|
WHAT IS AN AIR CONTAMINANT?
|
A substance of material that is foreign to the normoal composition of the atmosphere, occuring the forms of aerosols, dust, fumes, mists, gases, and vapors
|
|
|
WHAT IS THE AUTO IGNITION POINT?
|
the minimum temperature required to initiate self sustained combustion of a substance independent of external ignition sources of heat.
|
|
|
WHAT IS THE SELF IGNITION/AUTo IGNITION POINT
|
the lowest temperature at which a substance must be heater to give off vapors that will burn without the application of a spark or flame
|
|
|
WHAT IS AN AUTOGENOUS IGNITION TEMPERATURE
|
the temperature just adequate to cause the vapors from a petroleum based product to burst into flames without the application of spark or flame.
|
|
|
WHAT IS BACKGROUND RADIATION
|
Low level radiation from natural sources in the environment that is always present. intensity varies around the world.
|
|
|
WHAT IS A BALANCING VALVE
|
it automatically porportions the correct amount of AFFF with seawater. it is a diaphram actuated control valve that responds to pressure changes between the supply line and the firemain.
