There are many factors that affect yield, having the proper equipment and knowing how to use it to maxiumize yield is very important. Equipment and operator could easily amount to 1000 bdft per drum set, do the math and you will want to get the best yield possible. Most manufactutures give estimates anywhere from 3000-6000 bdft depending on the blend 1.7, 1.9, etc. This depends on what you are doing, for residential walls and ceilings the 1.7 usually gives the best bdft. If you are spraying rooftops you would want a foam with a higher closed cell content. |

for 1.7 to 2.0's use 4000...this will give you a "fudge factor" this time a year i see 4500 with the 1.9 i am applying but i estimate at 4000.... i believe the "closed cell content" number for closed cell urethanes stay pretty much the same as the DENSITY increases,,,it is the compressive/shear/tensil numbers that increase... foam on.... |

Foamdude, whos foam are you spraying? I just did a test on my foam and figured I was getting 3600 bd/ft per set. Which I am not happy with. |

i dont like to post my suppliers on the open boards,,just weird that way...gives me more "artistic freedom" in what i can say while keeping the risk of pissing someone off lower...cause sometimes things are taken personally...and this can lead to strained relationships and un-needed stress and anxiety... (damn i feel like dr. phil) EMAIL SENT LUKE! |

NAP foam, Mark. 6.9 R-per inch. We sprayed it in studwalls on a new house. We did not deduct for the studs. It seems to be a bit less boil-prone on hot days too. Smells a little like the old FSC foam. all the best, olger |
