Spray Pattern Pressure Distribution
Measure and record spray pattern pressure.
Spray Pattern Pressure Measurement
Distribution of the spray from a nozzle is important, but difficult to quantify. When the impact of a nozzle is too great, energy and liquid may be wasted or damage to material being processed, property or people may result. If the impact of a nozzle is too low, the intended job may not be accomplished, or the results on processed material may be irregular. In a test, I-Scan® can measure and record pressure spray patterns, and support analysis so adjustments can be made. I-Scan information can be used to develop new conceptual designs, conduct quality control tests, benchmark nozzle characteristics and document the effectiveness of proprietary solutions. Sensors are available in different shapes, are reusable, and provide accurate pressure readings. With the help of Tekscan's highly qualified sales and engineering support team, each system may be configured to meet your specific needs.
Pressure output of spray pattern: The red regions have higher pressures. The blue regions have lower pressures. The white center of the pattern has no impact. Shown graphically: Force vs. Distance.
