Product Technical Overview

Angus TPS-50 Foam Top Pourer

The Angus TPS-50 Foam Top Pourer is a fixed firefighting foam system component designed to protect suitable fixed-roof flammable-liquid storage tanks. Manufactured by Angus Fire, the Top Pourer Set combines foam generation, vapour sealing, and foam discharge functions in an integrated assembly. It is designed to introduce foam into the tank and direct the finished foam onto the liquid surface.

Foam top pourers are important components of fixed foam fire protection systems used in applications such as tank farms, oil refineries, and petrochemical installations. When the system operates as designed, the foam is directed against a deflector so that it flows onto the fuel surface with reduced application velocity. This helps distribute the foam while reducing contamination caused by forceful discharge into the stored liquid.

The Angus TPS-50 designation identifies a particular size within the Top Pourer Set range. Angus Fire has produced different generations, including the TPS Mk4 and TPS Mk5. Their intended tank-pressure conditions and installation details differ, so the exact version must be confirmed before purchasing or specifying the product.

Key Features

1. Designed for Fixed-Roof Storage Tanks

The Angus TPS range is designed for foam protection of fixed-roof flammable-liquid storage tanks. The appropriate model must be selected according to the tank design, stored product, operating conditions, and applicable fire protection standards.

2. Integrated Foam Generation and Discharge

The Top Pourer Set combines foam generation and delivery functions. Its design helps produce finished foam and direct it into the protected tank through the designated discharge arrangement.

3. Controlled Foam Application

The internal deflector directs foam against the tank wall so that it can flow gently over the stored liquid surface. This helps reduce the impact of the discharge on the fuel and supports the intended foam application method.

4. Vapour-Sealing Arrangement

The TPS design incorporates a bursting-disc assembly that remains sealed during normal operation and opens when the system reaches its specified operating conditions. This helps maintain the intended vapour-sealing function before activation.

5. Different Installation Options

Angus TPS units can be configured for different installation arrangements, including standard and split-flange options. The appropriate arrangement depends on the tank construction, available access, and installation requirements.

6. Model-Specific Performance

The TPS-50 has a defined operating performance envelope rather than one universal flow rate. Flow varies with inlet pressure and the selected configuration. The manufacturer datasheet should be used to identify the correct operating point for the project.

TPS-50 Performance Information

Angus Fire's published TPS Mk4 performance chart gives a pressure envelope of approximately 3–10 bar for the TPS-50, with flow varying across that range. Do not use a single maximum flow value as the rated flow for every installation. The final flow and operating point must be specified for the selected unit.

Applications

Subject to the equipment configuration and approved fire protection design, the Angus TPS-50 may be used in:

• Fixed-roof flammable-liquid storage tanks
• Oil and fuel storage tank farms
• Petroleum refineries
• Petrochemical facilities
• Industrial liquid storage installations
• Fixed foam fire protection systems designed for compatible hazards

The suitability of the unit depends on the stored liquid, tank construction, tank pressure, required foam application rate, and applicable design standards.

How to Select the Correct Angus TPS-50

Confirm the Product Generation

Determine whether the project requires TPS Mk4 or TPS Mk5. The versions have different intended tank-pressure conditions and installation considerations.

Verify the Required Flow and Pressure

Use the manufacturer's performance chart to establish the correct flow at the project's design pressure. Confirm the orifice disc and other configuration details specified for the unit.

Check the Tank Design

Verify that the pourer is suitable for the tank's construction, internal pressure, stored liquid, and foam system design.

Select the Installation Arrangement

Confirm whether a standard or split-flange installation is required. The correct mounting arrangement and flange dimensions should be established before ordering.

Confirm Material and Approval Requirements

Check the selected construction material, seals, bursting-disc specification, and current approvals against the project requirements and manufacturer documentation.
