⚠ Important Note

Machine settings and production rates are calculated values — actual values may vary. Always take a sample to verify your density and adjust accordingly.

• Density too high? Increase foam setting or decrease slurry pump speed.
• Density too low? Decrease foam setting or increase slurry pump speed.

Select Calibration Test

Prepare equipment

This test requires a drum of known volume. If a scale is available, place the drum on the scale — this will help determine foam density.

Enter drum volume

ℹ Foam density requires a scale — enter foam weight above to calculate it. Typical range is 2.0–4.0 lbs/ft³. If calculated, use this value to update foam density in Tab 1 (Mix Design) and Tab 2 (CT Settings) for more accurate results.
