GENERAL INFORMATION International system of units
Description
The INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM OF UNITS sometimes called SI, has been defined by the International Standards Organization (ISO) and is based upon metric units. The following notes include most units which are likely to be used in handing of fluids. The system consists of nine base units, and supplementary units which are coherently derived from them. The coherence consists in the fact that the product, or the quotient of any two unit quantities in the system result in another unit quantity. Because of the world wide trend to use this modern metric system, we are providing in the following the conversion constants for the most useful units.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Base Units and derived units

The SI has defined the following base unit:
N 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Length Mass Time
QUANTITY UNIT meter kilogram second Kelvin mole Ampere candela radiante steradian

GENERAL INFORMATION Prefix tables for SI units
Prefixes
SI units can be indicated together with a prefix to easily indicate very large or very small numbers. As an example visible light has a wave length of approximately 0.0000005 m (meters) which can be more easily written as 500 nm (nanometers). Please note it is not allowed to use prefixes together, you cannot write 10.000 m = 1da-km 10n 1024 1021 1018 1015 1012 109 106 103 102 10 101 102 103 106 109 1012 1015 1018 1021 1024 Prefix yotta zetta exa peta tera giga mega kilo etto deca deci centi milli micro nano pico femto atto zepto yocto Symbol Y Z E P T G M k h da d c m n p f a z y

GENERAL INFORMATION Conversion table: temperature scales
There are 4 principal types of temperature scales used for indicate the temperature: CENTIGRADE CELSIUS, FAHRENHEIT, KELVIN, and RANKINE; Kelvin and Celsius scales are used in Europe, Rankine, Fahrenheit are used in Anglo-Saxons countries. MP = water melting point BP = water boiling point
GENERAL INFORMATION
SYMBOL C
NAME Centigrade
MP 0
BP 100
NOTES 0 and 100 are arbitrarily placed at the freezing point and boiling point of water. 0F is the stabilized temperature when equal amounts of ice, water, and salt are mixed. 96F is the temperature when the thermometer is held in the mouth or under the armpit of a living man in good health. Based upon the definitions of the Centigrade scale and the experimental evidence that absolute zero is 273,16 C and that is an international standard temperature point. Based upon the definitions of the Fahrenheit scale and the experimental evidence that absolute zero is 273,16 C

A nozzle is a device which converts the energy from a fluid into velocity of the spray droplets. Applications in many industrial processes are numberless, with spray nozzles being very often a critical component in determining the final quality of the product or the efficiency of the process. For this reason the available nozzle range types for industrial applications can be found in PNR nozzle catalogue, as well as a concise but complete information about the most important parameters which can give a technical definition of a spray and its quality. We have grouped in the following the most useful formulas for designing a spray system, showing the influence of the different factors which can affect the process of spraying. More information about the working life of a nozzle and the best suited material for a given purpose can be found at page 17 of this publication.

LIQUID SPRAY AS A PROCESS

The process of spraying a liquid can be described as composed of two phases, namely:
1. Breaking up the liquid into separated drops. 2. Directing the liquid drops onto a surface or an object, to achieve the desired result.
The above two phases are normally performed, by the types of nozzles being used in industrial processes, at the same time by means of different techniques which shall be illustrated in the following. The continuous progress in the manufacturing techniques in recent years has requested the nozzle manufacturer to make available to the industry an always more complete range of spray nozzle types to perform the different processes in a more efficient way. It is the interest of the engineer using spray nozzles in manufacturing processes to become familiar with the different types of nozzles which are available today and with their individual characteristics, in order to be able to choose the nozzle which performs with the highest possible efficiency on a given application. Spraying a liquid through a spray nozzle can serve different purposes, among which the most important are the following:
applications throughout modern industry.
It is self evident that the best results for every application are only obtained when the right choices in terms of nozzle type, flow value, spray angle, drop dimensions and nozzle material are made. The purpose of the following pages is to give the reader the basic knowledge which is needed to properly select a spray nozzle for a given application.
Spray nozzles
a spray nozzle is a device which makes use of the pressure energy of a liquid to increase its speed through an orifice and break it into drops. Its performances can be identified and described precisely, so that the design engineer can specify exactly the spray nozzle required for a given process. The relevant characteristics which identify the performances of a nozzle are the following:
1. The liquid flow delivered as a function of the nozzle feed pressure. 2. The opening angle of the produced spray. 3. The nozzle efficiency, as the ratio between the energy of the spray and the energy used by the nozzle. 4. The evenness of the flow distribution over the target. 5. The droplet size distribution of the spray. 6. The jet impact of the spray.
The above characteristics will be discussed in the following pages, in connection with the different nozzle types.

TECHNIQUES FOR SPRAY PRODUCTION

Many different techniques can be used to produce a spray, and most of them are used today for nozzles to be applied in industrial processes. Based on the different techniques, the following nozzle types can be used in industrial applications to generate a liquid spray.
1. Pressure nozzles
This is the simplest type of nozzles, where an orifice is opened into a chamber where the liquid to be sprayed is fed under pressure. A spray is produced through the orifice with spray pattern, flow rate and spray angle depending upon the orifice edge profile and the design of the inside pressure chamber. Typical pressure nozzles are the flat jet nozzles series GA, J, GX and GY. In these nozzles the liquid moving towards the chamber preceding the orifice is given a rotational speed component, so as to open up in a conical shape as soon as it leaves the orifice edge because of centrifugal force. Based on the nozzle design and the technique used to generate the rotational speed, the drops produced can be confined to the cone outer surface (hollow cone spray) or be evenly distributed to fill the entire volume of the cone (full cone spray). Here the desired spray shape is obtained producing an impact of the liquid jet onto a properly designed surface. The liquid jet is subsequently changed into a fluid lamina and then broken into drops with the desired spray pattern after leaving the nozzle edge. Fine and very fine sprays can be obtained by means of air assisted atomizers, working upon various different principles. More detailed information about air assisted atomizing can be found in our Catalogue "Air assisted atomizers" (ordering code CTG AZ18).

LIQUID SPRAY AND SPRAY NOZZLES Spray nozzle types
FULL CONE PATTERN

In a full cone spray the droplets are distributed into a volume which is limited by a cone, having its origin point at the nozzle orifice. Such spray pattern is commonly used in a large variety of industrial processes, since it is the one which allows to distribute in an even way the water flow onto a surface: the full cone spray pattern is therefore useful, as a typical example, to evenly spray cooling liquid on a still surface. Another typical use is to distribute liquid droplets within a certain volume, like for example evenly distributing water droplets in the inside volume of a cooling tower. Because of the wide number of processes performed by means of full cone nozzles the original shape has evolved into a range of specialised types, where the full cone spray pattern, or a pattern similar to a full cone one, is obtained by different techniques.
Standard full cone (turbulence nozzle)
These nozzles use a specially shaped vane placed at the nozzle inlet, to give a rotational speed to the fluid flowing through the nozzle. Because of the rotational speed of the fluid, water exiting the nozzle orifice is subjected to centrifugal force and opens up in the shape of a full cone. The extent of the angle of the cone is a function of both exit speed (created from the inlet pressure) and the internal design of the nozzle. It can vary in practice from 15 to 120. These nozzles can be also produced as square full cone nozzles, where the square shape of the pyramidal spray is obtained by a special design of the outlet orifice. Two important details have to be noted from the system designer when using these type of nozzles: the spray angle is measured on the side of the square section the square section of the spray rotates within the distance from the nozzle orifice to the target area.
Standard full cone
Spiral full cone (deflection nozzle)
Spiral full cone
This is not properly a full cone, but rather a continuous liquid curtain evolving with the shape of a spiral inside a conical volume. The disadvantage of a scarcely even distribution is compensated by an exceptionally good resistance to plugging, which makes this nozzle the best choice in those applications where safety or system reliability are the prime concern, e.g. fire fighting systems.
Multiple full cone (turbulence nozzle, air atomizer)

This spray pattern is used in two cases, that is:
1. When a wide spray angle is to be reached with nozzles which inherently can only produce a narrow one, or in such cases where small size droplets and rather high capacities are required. Therefore several nozzles are grouped in a cluster with different spray directions: the resulting spray pattern occurs from the additional group of single nozzle sprays and the droplet size of the spray remains the same as one of single nozzle. It must be noted that a smaller nozzle will normally make smaller drops as compared to a larger size nozzle of the same type operating under the same conditions. 2. When it is necessary to obtain a wide angle jet using nozzles which inherently deliver a limited angle spray. In the case of a wide angle air atomizer, for example, the droplet distribution is obviously not homogeneous and the result is rather a number of small angle sprays with different directions, but still the liquid is atomized towards all the parts of the volume to be treated.

LIQUID SPRAY AND SPRAY NOZZLES Spray nozzle types
FLAT JET SPRAY PATTERN

In a flat jet spray the liquid droplets are sprayed in the shape of a flat liquid layer, with different thickness according to the principle used to generate the spray. A flat jet spray nozzle serves the purpose of spraying onto a surface or an object moving in a transverse direction with respect to the one of the jet surface, a typical example being the nozzles in a car washing tunnel. The vast majority of flat spray nozzles used in the industry work according to one of the following principles.
In line flat jet (pressure nozzle)
This is the general purpose flat jet nozzle, where the liquid enters the nozzle in line with the axis length and is fed to a pressure chamber, from where it is ejected through the nozzle orifice. Flow value and spray angle are determined respectively from the orifice cross section and the orifice edge profile.
In line straight jet (pressure nozzle)
These nozzles can be considered a special kind of flat jet nozzle, with naught degree spray angle. They are designed to produce a sharp stable stream, with powerful impact on a given point, and serve normally to perform cleaning processes or to cut soft materials.
Spoon flat jet (deflection nozzle)
In this type of nozzle the liquid is fed under pressure to a round outlet orifice, and then deflected onto a smooth profiled surface so as to assume a flat jet shape. This sophisticated design is of advantage since it offers a stronger jet impact using the same feed pressure. Higher efficiency comes from the very little energy required to just change the direction of the liquid flow, this being the only energy required to generate the flat jet.
HOLLOW CONE SPRAY PATTERN

A hollow cone spray pattern consists of droplets concentrated onto the outer surface of a conical shape volume, with no droplets contained in the inside of the conical jet shape. These nozzles are normally used for smoke washing or gas cooling applications in several industrial processes.
Hollow cone (turbulence nozzle)
These nozzles use a tangential injection of liquid into a whirling chamber to generate centrifugal forces which break up the liquid vein as soon as it leaves the orifice. Precisely designed orifice profiles, making use of the Coanda effect, provides the ability to obtain very large spray angles.
Hollow cone (deflection nozzle)
A hollow cone can also be obtained taking a liquid flow to change direction onto a properly designed surface, in order to break the liquid into droplets and distributing them as a hollow cone spray pattern. This kind of nozzle is mainly used for applications in dust control and fire fighting systems.

LIQUID SPRAY AND SPRAY NOZZLES Spray nozzle coding
PNR CODING SYSTEM

As any other industrial product, spray nozzles need to be precisely identified by means of a code in order to avoid mistakes. PNR coding system has been designed with the following requirements in mind: Codes must be easily processed by a computer, in ascending order. Codes must describe completely the product without any need for additional description. Codes must show to the user the basic specifications of the nozzle in order to ease the search in the catalogue. We have therefore determined our coding system described as follows: AA U 2 305 B31 X Y Thread type or other connection Special features Nozzle material code (see below) The three digits give the nozzle capacity in lpm at 3 bar according to rank value Rank of flow value, see table below Nozzle spray angle, see table below Nozzle type, as described in the catalogue pages, shown in ascending order

LIQUID SPRAY AND SPRAY NOZZLES Computerized fluid dynamics
The customers demand for an always higher efficiency requires to use not only the best tooling but in addition control instruments and design methods always more sophisticated, like for example new software for obtaining the velocity distribution of a fluid flowing through a conduit. These software programs require that the geometry of the inner conduit to be geometrically defined, and in addition the process conditions ( pressure, temperature, fluid capacity ) and the fluid properties ( specific weight, viscosity ) to be Introduced. Based on the above data it is possible to obtain a very precise distribution for the velocity value in each single point of the conduit, both under numeric form and flow diagrams. These Information make it possible, as an example, to minimize the flow turbulence and consequently to Increase the nozzle efficiency through an increase in the fluid exit velocity. This is of basic Importance for some kind of nozzles, for example those nozzles required to supply an high impact jet when performing descaling processes in a rolling mill. By trial and error it is also possible to eliminate problems like jet Instability or cavitation. The overall process efficiency in the flow path before the nozzle can also be considered, which often results into the design of geometry modification or the Introduction of special flow improving profiles along the conduit.

LIQUID SPRAY AND SPRAY NOZZLES Spray generation
The diagram on the right shows the idealization of the process generating the droplets while the water jet exiting the nozzle is breaking up. The theoretical model, whose exactitude seems to be confirmed by scientific research, considers that the liquid flowing through the nozzle and past the orifice edge evolves into a liquid lamina. This lamina, because of instability induced by aerodynamic forces, breaks up first into elongated ligaments more or less cylindrical, and later into droplets. Taking the above process as a guideline, one can easily appreciate that the average droplet diameter is some what related to several factors, like:
1. The thickness of the lamina itself 2. The evenness of the lamina 3. A steady flow and break up process
For what has been said above, and limited to hydraulic nozzles, the system designer looking for fine droplet sprays should consider that the following results can be expected Impact nozzles Centrifugal hollow cone nozzles, multiple full cone nozzles Turbulence nozzles Centrifugal Vaneless full cones best good fair worst
The above choice is obviously based on the droplet generation process, which changes from one nozzle type to another and allows to forecast which type is best fro the application. An additional consideration of interest is that the expected droplet size changes, for the same type of nozzle, with the nozzle size : it is possible to generate smaller drops spraying the same water quantity at the same pressure using a greater number of smaller nozzles.
Theoretical Mechanism of droplet generation
In cases where energy requirements are not a problem, or where a specified small droplet diameter is required, the smallest droplets can be obtained by means of an air assisted atomizer. Here the shear action of a high speed compressed air flow is used with several different techniques to obtain a value for SMD (Sauter Mean Diameter) of 50 microns and less.

LIQUID SPRAY AND SPRAY NOZZLES Droplet spectrum
The atomization of a liquid by means of a compressible fluid like air, steam or a gas, is defined pneumatic, two-phase, or twinfluid atomization. Many industrial processes require the availability of finely atomized droplets and the techniques to produce atomized jets have been largely improved in the recent years. In addition, more sophisticated process techniques have increased the demand for a precise definition about the characteristics of the spray and are now available to the design engineer. Since many years PNR can supply upon request complete documentation containing test reports about the more interesting and additional information, which are described below, for all PNR products.
Laser Interpherometer Test (By Pdpa)

PNR droplet size test reports are performed by means of a Laser Interpherometer (Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer), where two laser beams cross in a given point of the spray and define a test probe area. Droplet flying through the probe area cause a light scatter which is picked up by the instrument receiver and processed through a computer, in order to obtain relevant information about the spray characteristics.
Report information
Report information is made of data printed on three pages, where the first page contains the most interesting data which make possible to base process calculations upon precise data about spraying degrees, process efficiency and jet behavior in operational ambiance. These pages contain the Sauter Mean Diameter value whose knowledge is of special importance in heat exchange calculations about evaporative gas cooling processes, since it gives the possibility of evaluating the exchange surface obtained by atomizing for a given liquid volume.

Volume Flow Rate
PNR can supply upon request complete documentation containing test reports about the aforementioned parameters and additional information, for all PNR atomizers. The diagrams beside show the distribution of droplet diameters and droplet velocities of a spray under test as available to our customers.
In the photo beside a test being performed at our laboratories. We use a computer driven laser interpherometer to detect and record the spray parameters, while fluid capacities and feed pressure values are monitored through high precision instruments
IMPORTANT NOTE
The droplet size values measured with a PDPA instrumentation are representative of a well specified volume inside the spray, and taking measurements in a different volume they can be considerably different. A correct spray droplet size characterization requires then not only tests being performed in several volumes within the spray, but also that those measure volumes are selected with regard to the process the droplets are expected to perform. As an example the droplet characterization of a spray should define how many volumes have been tested and which are the coordinates of each single test volume in relation to the nozzle orifice. Most of the times pretending to describe the droplet spectrum of a spray nozzle at a given pressure with only one diagram is therefore not correct.

LIQUID SPRAY AND SPRAY NOZZLES Nozzle flow rate
In order to calculate the discharge flow rate from a given nozzle the Bernoulli law shall be used, which says that the energy of a liquid flow remains unchanged over alI the sections of the flow. Friction and turbulence losses are neglected, which is reasonable for our purposes if the calculation is performed over two sections not too far away from each other. The energy of a given liquid flow crossing a given pipe section is composed of three parts, namely:
P 1 V 2 2 gz
Where
Pressure energy of liquid particle per volume unit Kinetic energy of liquid particle per volume unit Potential Energy of liquid particle per volume unit density of liquid,
z=
g=
gravitational acceleration,
height respect to one plane of reference,
V=
liquid velocity
The Bernoulli law can be written as follows 1
Therefore, if we consider two sections of the same pipe, section A and section B, we can write that the flow energy remains constant in the form: 2
PA + 1 VA 2 + gzA = PB + 1 VB 2 + gzB 2 2
If we finally consider that the two above sections are taken immediately before and immediately after the nozzle outlet orifice, being:
ZA = ZB PB = 0 VA 0
(PA is a differential pressure referred at the atmosphere pressure) negligible as compared to VB (for orifice diameter much smaller than the duct diameter)
we shall come to the formula:
PA = 1 VB 2 2
VB =
2.P A
V=C P
EXIT VELOCITY DEPENDS UPON PRESSURE
When we define a new constant, k, to include the value of the nozzle orifice outlet area (A), then we come to the following equation which says that for a nozzle spraying into a room at ambient pressure, the exiting flow is proportional to the feed line pressure.
Q=AV
Q=AxCx P
Q=K P

Considering now two different pressure values for the same nozzle, since k is a constant quantity, we can write that:

and derive from the above an equation that makes it possible to calculate the nozzle flow value at any given pressure value, once the flow value at another pressure value is known: 5

LIQUID SPRAY AND SPRAY NOZZLES Nozzle flow rate
The Equation (5) has been obtained after having simplified the real problem, neglecting several factors like for example: In most of the practical application cases the flow is turbulent and not laminar. Friction losses tend to strongly increase with liquid velocity. Depending upon the type of nozzle, a different percentage of the available energy is used to break up the jet and give the desired spray pattern and spray angle. For the above reason equation (5) gives reliable results if used in a limited pressure range around the pressure value where the flow rate is known, with this pressure range depending upon the type of nozzle. Our experience has shown that one can expect the error in the calculated value to be lower than +/- 6% for pressure values ranging from 1/3 to 3 times the reference value. As an example, a nozzle rated for 10 lpm at 3 bars would have, according to equation (5) the following flow values: a 1 bar 5,77 lpm a 9 bar 17,3 lpm in real conditions it can be expected the flow rate values, to be: as high as 6,1 lpm a 1 bar as low as 16,2 lpm a 9 bar Above considerations are to be used as a guideline only, because of the many factors influencing real operations which have not been considered here, for example liquid, temperature, viscosity and density.
Possible percentage deviation from theoretical flow rate values.
+ 6% + 3%
- 3% - 6%
Also, above mentioned percentage errors have to be understood for nozzles using part of the flow energy to produce wide angle spray patterns. Lower values can be expected for narrow angle nozzles, impact nozzles, and straight jet nozzles. Laboratory tests and diagrams showing real flow rate values for each nozzles are used in practice when a precise result must be available.

LIQUID SPRAY AND SPRAY NOZZLES Spray angle
The spray angle is the opening angle which the nozzle jet of droplets forms at the moment when it leaves the nozzle orifice, and it is one of the fundamental parameters for the choice of a given nozzle. In fact the amplitude of the spray angle determines, in connection with the distance between the nozzle orifice and the target to be covered, the spray coverage and the density of liquid sprayed with respect to the cover area. See our Catalogue for description of the different nozzle spray patterns. The table at the bottom of the page gives the theoretical spray width, based on the nozzle spray angle and the distance from the nozzle orifice. It is important to note that, because of several factors like gravity forces and aerodynamic drag, the spray angle value cannot be maintained but in in a limited distance, normally up to 300 mm from the orifice. For air assisted atomizers it is improper to use the term spray angle, since no precise value can be measured. Therefore the values given by Catalogues are to be intended as guidelines only.

LIQUID SPRAY AND SPRAY NOZZLES Spray angle
Depending upon the nozzle design variations of feed pressure may have a great influence on the spray angle value. Generally with increasing pressure turbulence full cone nozzles will produce narrower angles, flat jet nozzles will show a wider angle spray, while nozzles working on the deflection principle like spiral nozzles and K style flat jet nozzles will be less affected by pressure changes. All nozzles will not function properly with very low pressure values (from 0.5 bar down depending upon nozzle type ) with a marked decay in performance, larger drops, not well defined spray pattern, lower spray angle values. The above pictures show spray angles for different nozzles and different pressure values. Should your application strictly require that a given value of the spray angle is obtained under a given pressure value or pressure range of values, please obtain a test report from our laboratories.

LIQUID SPRAY AND SPRAY NOZZLES Spray Distribution
Terms and definitions

A very important characteristic of a spray nozzle is a parameter called Spray Distribution, which gives a precise information about how evenly the drops of the spray are distributed onto the area covered by the spray. It is self understood that normally it is preferable to obtain the most even distribution possible. In the past this was done through the visual examination of a diagram, reporting the quantity of water contained for example in glass pipes aligned onto the spray coverage area. Pnr has determined to obtain such a result in a scientific way, through high technology instrumentation as shown in the pictures below, showing one of our patternators and a typical distribution diagram. Now to the spray geometry and some definition, lets consider a nozzle with a capacity Q at the pressure P. At every value for distance H, which we call height of spray, we can define a plane n, normal to the nozzle axis on which a line can define the intersection of the spray onto the plane. The area covered by the spray on the plane n has a surface S, depending from the following parameters a) Spray pattern F b) Opening angle of the spray c) Height of the spray H We can then write S=S( F, , H ) In case of a full cone nozzle S is a circle, with diameter C and S = 0,785 C2 The capacity of the nozzle flows through the surface S, but each smaller area inside the surface S will probably have a different value for the flow passing through it. We introduce then the value of Specific Capacity q
Diagram 1

q = lim

Q S
Q is the liquid flowing through a surface S where S is a fraction of the surface S
The function q depends upon the single point (x,y) in the section S and then
q=
Q = f (x, y, H) S
x and y are the local coordinates in the section plane where H is the distance of the test surface from the nozzle orifice
Determining the function q is however very expensive, therefore in practice two different functions are used which give in most occurrences sufficient information
2) Linear Distribution

Values extracted from these functions can characterize the spray and allow for drawing the diagrams defined as 'Distribution Curves'.
Diagram 2 : Linear distribution
Diagram 3 : Angular distribution
Analyzing the above curves it is possible to determine the type of water distribution along the spray coverage and the type of spray pattern, like for example a full cone, hollow cone, flat or straight jet spray.
Distribution measurement
The water distribution along the spray coverage is determined by means of an instrument called Patternator.
A patternator consists of the following parts : 1) Liquid collector 2) Cell block 3) Measure block 4) Unloading block The nozzle is above the instrument and it is orientated in such a way the jet is collected into the upper liquid collector. The liquid collector can be linear ( diagram 5 ) or round ( diagram 6 ) according to the test being run. From the single parts in the collector the liquid is sent into the corresponding cells below (2).
Diagram 4
The Measure block (3) determines the liquid content in each single cell, then the unloading block (4) empties the instrument sending the liquid to the collection drain.
Diagram 5 : Linear collector

There are two types of patternators : 1. 2.

Normalizing distribution curve

The values obtained from the cells of the patternator, showing the water quantity collected in the single cells, allow for preparing a Distribution curve, which can be given as a single line curve or as a row of vertical bars. These resemble the liquid level collected into the glass pipes of the old type instrumentation.
Diagram 7 : Effective linear distribution curve
Diagram 8 : Effective angular distribution curve
The curves prepared based on the liquid level in the single cells still are not precise : they depend in fact from the testing time, the longer this time the larger the liquid quantity sprayed. To eliminate the influence of time from the test it is necessary to transform the effective curves to normalized curves. Normalized 4) linear distribution Normalized 5) angular distribution

LIQUID SPRAY AND SPRAY NOZZLES Influence of liquid viscosity
Liquids are characterized for their property of undergoing continuous deformation when subjected to shear stress. The property of fluids (liquids or gases) to resist flowing due to the existence of internal friction within the fluid is called viscosity. Thus, if we imagine the different layers of fluid sliding one over the other with friction, we can imagine that viscosity is defined the force required to move a unit area of fluid for a unit distance. Viscosity is measured with many different systems, among which the most used are the following:
METHOD 1 2 Dynamic viscosity (Absolute viscosity) Kinematic viscosity
UNIT Poise Stoke
DIMENSIONS ML . T-1 L2 . T-1
NOTES Poise = 100 Centipoises = (1 dyne per sec/cm2) 1 Stoke = 100 Centistoke = (cm2/sec) Kinematic viscosity = Dynamic viscosity/density
SSU/SSF
One of the most widely instruments to determine is the Saybolt viscosimeter, which measures the time in seconds required for a fixed volume of a given liquid to flow through an orifice. SSU = Seconds Saybolt Universal relates to a smaller orifice for less viscous liquids. SSF = Seconds Saybolt Furol relates to a larger orifice for more viscous liquids.
The following table shows correspondences between the most used viscosity units.

The viscosity value of a liquid depends upon the temperature, therefore the viscosity value must always be given with reference to a temperature value. The viscosity of water (20 C) is 1 Centipoise and 1 Centistoke, since water mass density = 1.

LIQUID SPRAY AND SPRAY NOZZLES Influence of liquid viscosity
Viscosity influence on nozzle flow rate

AlI nozzle Catalogue data refer to spraying water (water cinematic viscosity is equal to 1 Centistoke). A liquid with viscosity higher than water will require more energy to be pumped and sprayed and will flow with lower velocity at the same pressure, and this will cause a reduction in the turbulence of the flow. For the above reason. nozzles working on the turbulence principle. like normal full cone nozzles and whirl hollow cone nozzles, will show an increase in capacity while spraying liquids with viscosity higher than water. This increase is very consistent for small size nozzles, where the small radius of the whirl chamber tends. to cause high turbulence in the flow, and tends to diminish and to disappear for nominal capacity valves (capacity values at 3 bar) larger than 1,5 liters per minute. The graph below shows, for a liquid with a viscosity of about 4 Centistokes, typical variations in the nozzle flow rate value, for different values of the nozzle whirl chamber diameter. As it may be seen, these variations can be neglected in most practical applications, where nozzles with whirl chamber diameters well over 3 mm are used.
Increase Flow rate vs Whirl Chamber Diameter 50% 45% 40%

Increase Flow Rate [mm]
35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Whirl Chamber Diameter [mm] For other types of nozzles, not working on the turbulence principle, the increase on viscosity will simply reduce the liquid exit velocity at the orifice, thus causing a decrease in capacity. Experience shows that this decrease ranges between 3 and 6% of nominal water capacity, that is to say that the variation introduced is in the same order of magnitude as the nozzle flow rate toler-ance.
Viscosity influence on nozzle spray angle and spray pattern

With reference to the theory of jet break-up and droplet information it can be easily imagined that spraying a liquid more viscous than water is a difficult task. Al the properties of the spray tend to worsen, therefore one can expect 1. A higher value for the minimum operating pressure, that is the pressure value which allows for obtaining a well defined spray with the expected spray angle. 2. A worse spray distribution, since the viscous behavior of the liquid makes it more difficult to pro-duce fine droplets and to distribute them evenly with the desired spray pattern. 3. A narrower spray angle. It is difficult to give guidelines, since results on different nozzles, at different pressures and with different liquids are scarcely predictable. However, our experience shows that in many cases the use of impact nozzles can give acceptable results, where all other type of nozzle fails. A laboratory test, or a field test are stili the safest way to obtain sound results.

LIQUID SPRAY AND SPRAY NOZZLES Influence of liquid specific gravity
With reference to the Bernoulli Rule, as exposed in page 6, one can say that the pressure energy of the liquid flow at the nozzle inlet is transformed totally (minus some losses due to friction inside the nozzle) into liquid velocity at the nozzle orifice. Catalogue figures give nozzle capacities when spraying water. If the specific gravity or density of the liquid is different from that of water the available pressure energy will produce a different liquid velocity at the nozzle orifices. In other words a given quantity of energy will spray always the same quantity of liquid mass, but different volumes (flow rates) according to the liquid specific gravity or density. Therefore a liquid heavier than water will exit the nozzle with a lower velocity, at lower flow rate, while to the contrary a liquid lighter than water will be sprayed at higher velocity, at higher flow rate. The following formula is to be applied: Where: Q L Liquid flow rate Q W Water flow rate F Correction factor
QL = F QW
The table below gives the value of a correction factor to obtain the flow rate of a liquid with different specific weight as water.

LIQUID SPRAY AND SPRAY NOZZLES Jet impact
The spraying water impact of a nozzle depends on several factors and more precisely spray distribution pattern and spray angle. The first step to calculate the impact value, which is usually expressed in Kilograms per square centimeter, is to determine Total Theoretical lmpact Value using the following formula: Where: Q is the flow rate at working pressure in lpm P is the pressure value in kgp/cm2
TTI = 0,024 Q
[kgp/cm2]
The obtained value has to be multiplied by the Total Theoretical Impact per Square Centimeter Coefficient (E). The final value is the Spraying Liquid Impact expressed in kgp/cm2. Of course not alI the energy of the fluid vein is transferred to the impact point.
10
SLI = E TTI
[kgp/cm2]
A part of this energy, sometimes a considerable part, goes to obtain a desired spraying angle by having the liquid vein acquire a high rotational speed inside the whirl chamber. The highest value of impact is obtained with straight jet nozzle and the value can be calculated multiplying spraying pressure per 1,9. The tables below containing the Total Theoretical Impact sqcm coefficient values for different spray pattern nozzles for a distance of 300 mm.

LIQUID SPRAY AND SPRAY NOZZLES Jet impact
Jet impact diagram

A further parameter to characterize the performance of a spray nozzle is the distribution of the jet impact force, which could be derived by means of mathematical methods from the values of the spray distribution onto the surface covered by the spray, but which can more easily be measured with the help of specifically designed instrumentation. In some applications the jet impact force Is the most important parameter used to realize the required process. Steel sheet descaling in a rolling mill is a typical example, where the jet impact is required to take away the surface scale and obtain a perfectly even surface. For that reason special nozzles have been developed to perform this very task, where service life, impact value and spray distribution reach the values required for satisfactory result. These test are performed in a laboratory equipped with a specifically designed instrumentation, where the high pressures involved in these process can be reached, which can measure the pressure values along a matrix of points distributed in the spray area covered by the nozzle. These values are supplied both in a table of values and as a 3D pressure diagram, similar to those shown below. On such applications, where producing high impact values in the jet is necessary, it is of paramount importance that the liquid flow turbulence is kept to a minimum and therefore it is widely used to insert into the nozzle entrance devices designed to improve the operating conditions by forcing the liquid flow through straight passages with several different shapes : by doing so the impact delivered by the spray is increased with the same feed pressure. One typical shape used by Pnr is shown on the right, and the two diagrams below show the impact force diagrams for the same nozzle with and without a flow straightener : the reduction of flow turbulence can lead in increase of impact force often higher than 20%. Further improvements of course are available when the nozzle inside profile is properly designed in order to avoid sharp cross section changes and all surfaces are finished as smoothly as possible

LIQUID SPRAY AND SPRAY NOZZLES Pressure drop through a nozzle
Pressure drop through a nozzle

Some of our customers have asked us In the past which Is the pressure drop through a nozzle, since they consider a nozzle one of the parts in a piping, like a valve or an elbow, which causes a given pressure drop along the line. The reality is different, and can be easily understood when considering the Bernoulli formula [2] as given at page 19 of this manual : the formula says that the total energy of a liquid flow is made from the addition of three facors : Potential energy due to elevation Pressure energy Velocity energy When we apply the formula at the entrance and at the outlet ( the orifice ) of a nozzle, and we neglect the influence of turbulence losses in between, we can easily see that. The potential energy variation can be neglected because of the limited dimensions of the nozzle, since the distance between the nozzle entrance and the nozzle orifice plays no roleThe pressure energy variation is important, since the liquid pressure value falls abruptly from the pressure inside the feed pipe to the ambient pressure. The velocity energy variation is also consistent, since the liquid is ejected from the orifice at high speed.
In other words the pressure energy of the liquid flowing through the orifice is suddenly transformed in liquid drops velocity, which is exactly what a nozzle is designed to do. This is shown from equation [3] at page 19, which allows the exit velocity from the nozzle to be calculated from the pressure inside the pipe ( we actually consider the pressure difference between the inside of the pipe and the ambient pressure in this formula ). In other words all the energy still available at the nozzle is converted into velocity, or if you so prefer, you have a total pressure fall. The system designer shall therefore evaluate all the pressure drop between the pump outlet flange and the nozzle entrance in order to be sure that the nozzle feed pressure is sufficient to assure the desired capacity for the liquid being sprayed.

The following Specific Pressure Drops (Y) are normally used in the good engineering practice: (where Y=P/L P: Pressur Drop and L: Pipe Lenght) Y = 0.20.5 bar/100 m Y < 0.110 bar/100 m Y = 0.040.05 bar/100 m for pump discharge (0.7 bar/100 m max, if P > 50 bar) for pump suction for pump suction (velocity = 0.30.9 m/s)
Not boiling water Boiling water
For pipe sizing the Velocity (V) is also used. In the following table are shown the typical liquid velocities in steel pipes.

PIPING Sieve size conversion chart
Sieves are used both for determining the particle size distribution of a granular material and to filter solid particles in a liquid. Normally the sieve is made with a fabric whose characteristic dimensions are: L is the Opening Width (free passage) D is the Diameter of the wire P is the Pitch of the wire S is the Thickness of the fabric To classify particle sizes, there is some Sieve Series according to specific standards; the most known are: Tyler Sieve Series, US Sieve Series, UK Sieve Series, The Tyler mesh size indicates exactly the number of openings per linear inch of mesh
