Spray Nozzles

Tungsten Carbide Tips for High-Pressure Spraying

In high-pressure spraying applications, the high velocity of the liquid through the nozzle causes the orifice to wear very quickly. As the orifice becomes larger, the flow rate will increase. Surprisingly, tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars can be wasted in excess water and chemicals as a result of nozzle wear. Electricity costs will also rise due to excess pump operation.
Using spray tips constructed of a harder material may provide significantly longer wear life. Tungsten carbide has a resistance ratio up to 250 times greater than brass.
