| Nozzle type | Nozzle design type | Fire Safety application | Spray characteristics | Notes |
| 
| Small orifice misting nozzle | Fire/explosion prevention | Very fine mist Low flow rates | Electrostatic reduction or wetting to reduce flammablity |
|
| Small orifice misting nozzle | Fire extinguishing | Very fine mist Low flow rates Complete evaporation Extinguished by displacement of air Drip free | Halon replacement mist to suffocate fires. “Dry” fire extinguishing to protect water sensitive assets. |
| 
| Impingement misting nozzle | Fire/explosion prevention | Very fine mist Low flow rates | Electrostatic reduction or wetting to reduce flammability |
