EXAIR's 1/8 FNPT and 1/4 FNPT siphon fed flat fan pattern nozzle is great where no liquid pressure is available and a thin coating is needed over a wide band. Flow rate is adjustable via the adjusting valve. Siphon nozzles work best with a suction height of 36" (914mm) or less. Since these nozzles are siphon fed, the compressed airflow draws the liquid in and mixes it internally. Liquid flow is dependent both on the gravity or suction height and the airflow. Siphon fed flat fan pattern nozzles are the best choice where liquid is needed over a broad band such as a moving assembly line. Siphon or gravity fed for non-pressurized applications.

Droplet Size

Droplet size illustration

One of the primary reasons atomizing spray nozzles are used is because of their fine droplet size. Benefits of fine droplet size include even coating and liquid conservation. For reference, a large raindrop is around 6,000 microns (0.236") in diameter. Standard liquid nozzles produce droplet sizes ranging from 4,000 microns (0.157") down to 300 microns (0.012") in diameter. EXAIR's Atomizing Nozzles produce minuscule droplet sizes in the range of 100 microns (0.004") to 20 microns (0.0008")!

Spray Angle

Spray angle illustration

The Spray Angle is the trigonometric angle created by the width of the spray pattern and the distance at which it is measured. This angle can vary greatly within a given family of atomizing nozzles depending on flow rates and pressures, but will generally fall into the ranges below:

Spray Angle

Model Family Minimum Angle Maximum Angle
Internal Mix Narrow Angle Round Pattern- AN1010SS, AN2010SS, etc. 20° 45°
Internal Mix Wide Angle Round Pattern- AW1010SS, AW2010SS, etc. 50° 90°
