SOLBERG Threaded Proportioners are modified venturi ratio controllers that accurately mix and meter foam concentrate into fire-water streams. Each proportioner consists of the following components: body, inlet nozzle, and metering orifice constructed out of ASTM 85-5-5-5 bronze material. The proportioner is designed with a male NPT threaded inlet and a male threaded outlet in sizes of 2.0″ (51 mm) and 2.5″ (64 mm), with the flow direction arrow clearly marked. During operation, water flows through the modified venturi to create an area of lower pressure which is directly affected by the water velocity as it flows through the ratio controller.
