Drop Sizes

Product Category

Actual drop size (measured in microns) will vary based on flow rate and pressure. The _**“relative”**_ drop size range represents the variation in drop size across typical operating pressures for a particular nozzle.
> _If drop size is critical to your application, contact us for specific information. For basic information on drop size terminology, download our [technical reference document](https://spray.widen.net/download/spray/oeafrrites/cat75HYD_us_Tech-Reference_A.pdf) or contact your [local Spraying Systems Co. sales rep](https://www.spray.com/contact/find-a-representative)._

Relative Drop Size Range

Actual drop size (measured in microns) will vary based on flow rate and pressure. The _**“relative”**_ drop size range represents the variation in drop size across typical operating pressures for a particular nozzle.

The drop size ranges provided can be characterized as follows:
- 10 to 500 microns: very small drops
(comparable to fog)
- 100 to 500 microns: small drops
(comparable to light rain)
- 500 to 1000 microns: medium drops
(comparable to moderate rain)
- 1000 to 5000 microns: large drops
(comparable to heavy rain)

Relative Drop Size Group

Provided for flat spray nozzles with elliptical orifices. It is the diameter of a circular orifice that would pass the same flow.

Equivalent Orifice Diameter

The volume of liquid passing through a nozzle (also called the nozzle’s capacity) is typically measured in gallons per minute or liters per minute. Flow rate is affected by liquid pressure and other factors, including the specific gravity and viscosity of the liquid being sprayed.
> _For more information on liquid flow rate or nozzle capacity, download our [technical reference document](https://spray.widen.net/download/spray/oeafrrites/cat75HYD_us_Tech-Reference_A.pdf) or contact your [local Spraying Systems Co. sales rep](https://www.spray.com/contact/find-a-representative)._

Liquid Flow Rate

Orifice Number

The QuickJet® and UniJet® Nozzle Systems provide nozzle bodies with interchangeable spray tips. QuickJet bodies and tips are designated with “Q” as the first letter in the part number and offer quick-connect convenience with automatic spray pattern alignment. UniJet bodies and tips use a threaded retaining cap to complete the assembly. Both QuickJet and UniJet nozzles are available in a wide variety of spray patterns, flow rates and materials of construction.

Tip Type

The range of operating pressures published in our catalog. 
> _The catalog offers flow data only for selected operating pressures. Certain nozzles may be able to operate outside the pressure range shown in the catalog. Consult your local Spraying Systems Co. representative to ensure safe operation._

Liquid Pressure Range

The range of flow (typically measured in gallons per minute or liters per minute) published in our catalog for a given nozzle. 
> _The catalog offers flow rates only for selected operating pressures so greater flow may be possible at pressures not shown in the catalog._

Liquid Flow Rate Range

Different nozzle types are _**“rated”**_ at various pressures, depending on the function of the nozzle and the pressure at which a spray pattern is fully formed. The flow rate (typically measured in gallons per minute or liters per minute) at the rated pressure (measured in pounds per square inch or bar) is highlighted in catalog performance tables and can serve as a reference point for comparing different nozzles.
> _Keep in mind when comparing nozzles of different types that the rated pressures may vary and will affect flow rate._

Liquid Flow Rate at Rated Pressure

The pressure (measured in pounds per square inch or bar) at which reference flow rate and spray angle data are taken.

Rated Pressure

GunJet spray guns are available for a wide range of operating pressures. The maximum operating pressure for any Low Pressure GunJet spray gun is 250 psi (17 bar). The maximum operating pressure for any Medium Pressure GunJet spray gun is 1000 psi (69 bar). The maximum operating pressure for any High Pressure GunJet spray gun is 4000 psi (275 bar). Be sure to check the specifications for each GunJet spray gun carefully and follow all safety guidelines.

Pressure Group

The spray angles produced by nozzles vary from 0° for solid stream nozzles up to 180° for select hollow cone nozzles. For ease of product searching, our catalog groups spray angles into “narrow” (typically < 50°), “standard” (50°-100°) and “wide” (> 100°).
> _**Important Note:** Spray angle range for each of the basic spray patterns (flat spray, full cone, hollow cone) varies, so Spray Angle Catalog Group is most useful when searching for nozzles within a single spray pattern._

Spray Angle Catalog Code

Many hydraulic spray nozzles include a numeric capacity size in the part number. Capacity size is often related to the flow rate of the nozzle at the rated spray pressure for that nozzle. For example, the capacity size for a 1/4HH10 FullJet® nozzle is “10”, which reflects a 1.0 gpm flow rate at 10 psi.

Capacity Size

Our products are grouped into these primary product types:
- Nozzle - Body _(a nozzle body without a spray tip)_
- Tip _(a spray tip without a nozzle body)_
- Assembly _(a complete nozzle assembly including both a nozzle body and a spray tip)_

Product Type

The angle of the spray pattern as it emerges from the nozzle orifice, measured in degrees. Narrower spray angles provide less coverage of the sprayed surface. Wider spray angles provide greater coverage of the sprayed surface. Solid stream nozzles have a 0° spray angle.

Spray Angle

Spray nozzles are manufactured from a wide variety of materials that have been determined to meet the usual requirements of the applications most commonly associated with that type of nozzle. Standard materials include brass, steel, various stainless steels, hardened stainless steels, many plastics and various carbides. Spray nozzles can also be supplied in other materials upon special request. Materials of construction affect nozzle wear life and resistance to corrosion and abrasion.

Material Composition

Different nozzle types are _**“rated”**_ at various pressures, depending on the function of the nozzle and the pressure at which a spray pattern is fully formed. The angle of the spray pattern as it emerges from the nozzle, when spraying at the rated pressure orifice, can serve as a reference point for comparing different nozzles.

Spray Angle Range

Model

Most nozzles are available with NPT or BSPT connections. Other threaded connections are available on select nozzles and additional connection types, such as flange and quick-connect, are also common. Some nozzles are also available with sanitary connections.

Inlet Connection Type

Material Code

A nozzle’s spray pattern is the shape the liquid forms after it emerges from the orifice. Nozzles are precision engineered to produce specific spray patterns such as full cone, flat spray, hollow cone and solid stream patterns. Different spray patterns are useful for different types of spray operations.
> _For more information about typical applications for various spray patterns, download our [technical reference document](https://spray.widen.net/download/spray/oeafrrites/cat75HYD_us_Tech-Reference_A.pdf) or contact your [local Spraying Systems Co. sales rep](https://www.spray.com/contact/find-a-representative)._
