Hello

I am designing a fire fighting system for a storage tank according to the NFPA standard (NFPA 11 to be precise)

my question: is the expansion ratio for low expansion foam included in the discharge rate in the NFPA 11?

if it is included, what is the ratio

thank you in advance
 
I would also like to know wether NFPA states a certain depth for the foam, other standard does

thank you in advanvce
