Consult Technical Data Sheets

What happens here

The most recommended method for choosing the correct nozzle is to consult the technical data sheet ('ficha técnica') provided by the paint manufacturer. These sheets typically include a 'Pistola airless' (airless gun) section which recommends a nozzle range (e.g., 0.43-0.53 mm or 17-21 thousandths of an inch) and a minimum liquid outlet pressure (e.g., not less than 175 kg/cm² or 2489 p.s.i.). Paint producers conduct tests to ensure optimal application for their products with airless equipment, and this information is vital for achieving the best results and avoiding issues.

Goal: Determine the appropriate nozzle size by consulting the technical data sheet of the specific paint or coating material you plan to use. This sheet provides recommended nozzle ranges and working pressures for airless application.
