Nozzle Ports

Nozzle ports are critical components of spray manifolds designed to control the discharge of liquids, gases, or mixed-phase fluids. They feature precisely machined orifices that determine flow rate, spray angle, droplet size, and distribution pattern. These ports interface with nozzles or spray tips and are engineered to maintain consistent pressure and prevent clogging or leakage in continuous or intermittent spraying systems.

Nozzle ports operate by channeling pressurized fluid through a calibrated orifice, converting pressure energy into kinetic energy to create a controlled spray. The port geometry (diameter, taper, and entry/exit angles) influences fluid acceleration, turbulence reduction, and pattern formation. They work with Bernoulli's principle and fluid dynamics to ensure uniform distribution across multiple nozzles in manifold configurations.
