Component Specifications

Definition
Branch outlet nozzles are specialized fittings installed on header manifolds to regulate and direct fluid flow into multiple distribution lines. These components feature calibrated orifices, threaded connections, and flow-control mechanisms to ensure precise fluid delivery in applications such as cooling systems, lubrication networks, chemical processing, and pneumatic/hydraulic circuits. They maintain consistent pressure and flow rates across all outlets while minimizing turbulence and pressure drops.
Working Principle
Branch outlet nozzles operate on fluid dynamics principles, using precisely engineered internal geometries (orifices, venturis, or flow channels) to control flow rates and distribution. When fluid enters the nozzle from the header manifold, the internal design creates controlled resistance, regulating output flow while maintaining system pressure balance. Some designs incorporate adjustable mechanisms (needle valves, flow restrictors) for fine-tuning, while fixed-orifice nozzles provide consistent, predetermined flow characteristics.
Materials
Stainless steel (304/316), brass, aluminum alloys, engineered plastics (PTFE, PEEK, nylon), carbon steel with corrosion-resistant coatings. Material selection depends on fluid compatibility, pressure requirements (typically 10-600 PSI), temperature range (-40°C to 200°C), and environmental conditions.
Technical Parameters
  • Surface Finish Ra 0.8-3.2 μm
  • Connection Type NPT, BSPP, BSPT, SAE, flange
  • Pressure Rating Up to 600 PSI
