The construction materials for the low expansion foam discharge assemblies for floating roof storage tank protection are selected for the intended purpose. As a standard carbon steel is used for the manufacturing of the foam expansion pipe on the foam maker and the foam discharge pourer. The body of the foam maker is made of seawater resistant bronze, the air inlet strainer on the foam maker is made of stainless steel and all fixing straps are made of stainless steel as well. As an option all carbon steel parts can be hot dip galvanised or can be manufactured in stainless steel.
