Overview
EN 16712-2:2015 - Portable equipment for projecting extinguishing agents - Portable foam equipment - Part 2: Pick-up tubes - is a CEN European Standard that specifies performance requirements and test methods for pick-up tubes used with portable foam systems. The standard covers pick-up tubes with nominal diameters from DN 20 to DN 50 intended for suction of foam concentrate, additives (and optionally other substances such as absorbents) into inductors or proportioning devices.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and designation
- Applies to pick-up tubes DN 20–DN 50 and defines naming format (e.g., Pick-up tube EN 16712‑2 - DN 38 - 1500).
- Components and dimensions
- Semi‑rigid translucent tube connectable to an inductor; options include riser pipes, strainers, foot valves and couplings.
- Example DN 20 total lengths and max masses shown in the standard (e.g., 1500 ± 50 mm / 1 kg; 2500 ± 50 mm / 2 kg).
- Material
- Semi‑rigid thermoplastic, optionally reinforced; must be translucent to observe flow and foam concentrate presence and ideally UV‑resistant.
- Connection and retention
- Wall thickness and fixing methods (clamp, adhesive) must ensure tube remains permanently fixed to the coupling. A defined traction test at elevated temperature verifies attachment.
- Leakage and pressure tests
- Tightness requirements are specified with pressure retention checks (verification uses a vacuum/negative pressure condition around -0.8 bar).
- Performance under temperature and deformation
- Cross‑section stability: outer diameter must not reduce by more than 20% under specified test conditions.
- Collapse resistance: tube must not collapse after cold conditioning and bending (specified low temperature and bend radius).
- Safety and end‑finish
- Riser pipe end shapes are prescribed to avoid user injury.
Practical applications
- Use with portable inductors (see EN 16712‑1) and proportioning devices for firefighting operations.
- Typical applications: suction of foam concentrates and additives from containers during fire response, training, and equipment testing.
- Also suitable for suction of compatible liquids or absorbents where agreed between supplier and purchaser.
Who should use this standard
- Manufacturers of portable foam equipment and pick‑up tubes
- Fire‑fighting equipment specifiers and procurement officers
- Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies
- Fire and rescue services and safety managers drafting equipment requirements
