Mist pattern nozzle selection table
The table below summarises much of the information in the mist spray pattern nozzle section of the SNP website. It is intended to be a handy reference guide to aid nozzle selection. Full data on each of the nozzles listed can be accessed by clicking on the boxes in the left hand column of the table below. The PDFs will open in a separate browser tab to allow easy comparison of products.
| Nozzle Type | Design Type | Properties | Available spray angle | Flow rate range | Operating pressure range |
| 
| Small orifice | Mist at low pressure fog at high pressure Drip free | 70 | 0.032-0.517 | 7 - 300 |
| 
| Small orifice | Multiple nozzles on single head | 90 | 4.2-8.7 | 70 - 80 |
| 
| Axial whirl | Hollow cone mist High number of droplets below 60 microns Available in plastic Mesh strainer | | 1.5-61.1 | 3 - 80 |
| 
| Impingement | Produces high percentage of droplets under 50 microns Finest for of any direct pressure nozzle | 90 | 0.031-5.34 | 2 - 70 |
| 
| Impingement | Produces high percentage of drops in the 25-400 micron range ideal for dust suppression | 90 | 0.153-30.3 | 1 - 30 |
| Spiral | Clog resistant
Low pressure
Relatively course mist especially at low pressures | 90 | 0.53 - 25 | 0.5* - 20 |
* At very low pressures the L series will not produce a mist pattern.
