| Airless Spray Tips |
|
|
Airless equipment and
H.V.L.P. sprayers have a variety of tips and nozzles to select from depending
on what product is to be sprayed. Some paint Tech Data sheets will list the
recommended spray equipment including output capacity and tip size for use with
that particular coating. For those that do not, start with this handy
guide.
As a general rule the following tip sizes would normally be used
with airless sprayers using materials with the viscosity levels listed: It is
also very important that the equipment being used can provide the output to
support the selected tip. For example, a spray tip with a .017 orifice will
allow .30 gpm through its orifice. Its always best to have a sprayer with a
higher output than the tip because as the tip wears, its orifice size becomes
bigger and the material flow rate increases. If the tip flow rate exceeds your
paint sprayer flow rate, you will have spray pattern problems such as
"tails". |
