A description is given of the production and performance of a variable foam generator for use in laboratories with mechanical foams. The generator is different from the one which produced by F. J. Fry and R. J. French (J. app. chem., 1 425 (1951)) on the several points.
The latter applied high pressure (100#/
□") to obtain high dispersion, but the former less than 1 atm.
The high dispersibility of the author’s generator in such a low pressure is due to using the sieb plate.
Data was given on the following items :
(1) Variation of shear stress of foam with expansion factor.
(2) Effect of number of wire gauze with which the viscosity of foams was increased, on shear stress of foam.
(3) Effect of flow rate of air-foam solution on shear stress of foam.
(4) Comparison of shear stress of foam, discharged from the generator and from the foam nozzle.
