AIRLESS TIP SELECTION
Tips
are
selected
by
the orifice size
and
fan
width.
The
proper selection
is
determined by the
fan
width required for a
specific job
and
by
the
orifice size that will supply
the
desired amount
of
fluid and accomplish proper atomization.
For light viscosity fluids,
smaller orifice tips generally
are
desired. For heavier viscosity materials, larger orifice tips
are
preferred. Please refer
to
the chart below.
Note:
d~
not
exceed the pump's recommended tip size.
The following chart indicates the most
common
sizes
and
the appropriate materials to be sprayed.
