Component Specifications

Definition
A fluid nozzle is a critical component in spray systems that atomizes, meters, and directs liquids or gases through an orifice. It converts fluid pressure into kinetic energy to create specific spray patterns (cone, fan, hollow cone, flat) with controlled droplet size distribution. Used in coating, cooling, cleaning, lubrication, and chemical processing applications where precise fluid delivery is essential.
Working Principle
Operates on Bernoulli's principle and fluid dynamics: pressurized fluid enters the nozzle chamber, accelerates through a constricted orifice, and exits as a controlled spray pattern. Internal geometry (orifice shape, swirl chambers, deflectors) determines atomization quality, flow rate, and spray angle. Pressure drop across the nozzle converts potential energy to kinetic energy.
Materials
Stainless steel (304/316), brass, hardened steel, tungsten carbide, ceramic (alumina, silicon carbide), PTFE, PVDF. Material selection depends on fluid compatibility, abrasion resistance, and temperature requirements.

  • Flow Rate 0.1-100 L/min at 3 bar
  • Spray Angle 15-120 degrees
  • Droplet Size 10-500 microns
  • Pressure Range 1-100 bar
  • Connection Type NPT, BSP, quick-connect
