Component Specifications

Definition
A precision-engineered component designed to regulate and direct fluid flow through a nozzle assembly by creating a specific orifice size and shape, ensuring consistent spray patterns, flow rates, and droplet sizes in industrial applications.
Working Principle
Operates based on fluid dynamics principles where fluid passes through a precisely machined orifice, creating a pressure drop that controls flow rate and velocity. The orifice geometry determines spray characteristics such as angle, distribution, and atomization quality.
Materials
Typically made from stainless steel (e.g., 316L, 304), tungsten carbide, ceramic (alumina or zirconia), or hardened tool steel to resist wear, corrosion, and chemical degradation.
Technical Parameters
  • Tolerance ±0.005mm
  • Surface Finish Ra 0.2μm to 0.8μm
  • Pressure Rating Up to 5000 psi
  • Orifice Diameter 0.1mm to 5.0mm
  • Temperature Range -40°C to 300°C
  • Flow Coefficient (Cv) 0.01 to 2.5
Standards
ISO 5167, DIN 1952, ASME B40.100

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of an orifice tip in a nozzle assembly?

It precisely controls fluid flow rate, spray pattern, and atomization by creating a specific orifice geometry that regulates pressure drop and velocity.

How do I select the right orifice tip material for my application?

Choose based on fluid compatibility, wear resistance, and temperature: stainless steel for general use, tungsten carbide for abrasive fluids, ceramic for high-temperature/corrosive environments.

Can orifice tips be customized for specific flow requirements?

Yes, they are often custom-engineered with specific orifice diameters, shapes (round, rectangular, etc.), and angles to achieve precise flow characteristics and spray patterns.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
