600 1200 0.48 L/min 0.96 L/min Thin oil film
1000 1800 1.08 L/min 2.16 L/min Protective coating
1500 2200 1.99 L/min 3.98 L/min Conversion coat assist
1800 3000 3.24 L/min 6.48 L/min High-speed lines

Table 2: Nozzle Selection Guide

Nozzle Type Spray Pattern Best For Notes
Flat Fan Uniform sheet Wide coverage, low-viscosity oils Ideal for RPO and water-based sealers
Hydraulic Fine Spray Atomized mist Thin film coatings High transfer efficiency, low waste
Air-Assisted Ultra-fine mist Viscous coatings, adhesives Adjustable droplet size
Solid Stream Narrow jet Targeted lubrication spots Minimal overspray

Table 3: Typical Process Parameters

Parameter Range Impact
Operating Pressure 1 – 6 bar Higher = finer atomization
Film Thickness 1 – 10 μm Depends on chemistry & end use
Line Speeds 60 – 300 m/min Requires flow adjustment
Viscosity Range 1 – 150 cP Determines nozzle/atomization
