Underwriters Laboratories and Intertek tested the KrakenEXO®, in support of the NFPA 1961 Fire Hose Standard Committee, in order to develop new testing methods for fire hose.
The “live fire” test exposed the KrakenEXO® to extreme radiant heat of 27-40 kw/m2. The hose remained exposed for several minutes producing self-protecting pinholes with only a minor drop in pressure.
With minimal pressure loss, the KrakenEXO® remained fully capable of fighting fire. As a result, a new more stringent radiant heat test method for attack fire hose was developed for NFPA 1961 per UL 19.
