FAQ
-
What fluid was used to determine the flow rates given in the catalog information?
Published performance data was obtained by testing the Atomizing Nozzles with ordinary tap water. The viscosity of your fluid will determine which style Atomizing Nozzle will be best for you. Please feel free to contact an Application Engineer for selection assistance.
-
What is the maximum viscosity that can be dispensed through each type of atomizing nozzle?
Internal Mix Atomizing Spray Nozzle - 300 Centipoise
Siphon Fed Atomizing Spray Nozzle - 200 Centipoise
External Mix Atomizing Spray Nozzle - 800 Centipoise -
What is the maximum draw height a Siphon Fed Nozzle can draw from?
The Siphon Fed Atomizing Nozzles can draw up to a 36" height. If drawing from a container, this means you would want the bottom of the container to be no lower than 36" below the liquid inlet to the atomizing nozzle.
-
How can I tell what Spray Nozzle I have?
The liquid cap and the air cap are both stamped with part identification.
Contact an Application Engineer and with the combination of the two part identification numbers, they will be able to tell you the nozzle you have.
-
What is the maximum operating temperature for the Atomizing Spray Nozzles?
The maximum operating temperature is 400° F (204° C)
-
How is the valve stem used to adjust the nozzle's liquid flow?
The Atomizing Spray Nozzles come pre-set from the factory in a fully open position. To reduce or stop flow, turn the stem clockwise. Be careful not to over tighten the stem as damage to the stem or liquid cap can occur. Once completely closed, 3-4 turns counterclockwise will result in a fully open flow.
