| Understanding the
numbers on tips:
|
|
Many people get confused with the different size spray
tips available. To understand what size tip can be used, you must first
understand what the digits on the tip indicate.
All tips have three digits
in the size, for example 517.
The first digit is the fan
size or the width of the spray, this digit is always doubled and
measured in inches. For example, a 517 tip will spray at 10
inches, a 417 tip will spray at 8 inches and a 317 tip
will spray at 6 inches.
The second two digits
indicate the size of the orifice and is measured in thousandths of an
inch. For example a 517 tip will spray 10 inches wide, through an
orifice size of 17 thousandths of an inch. A 515 tip will spray
10 inches wide, through an orifice size of 15 thousandths of an inch and
a 513 tip will spray 10 inches wide, through an orifice
size of 13 thousandths of an inch.
|
| Understanding which
orifice size to choose: |
| As a general guide, the list
of sizes below is a handy guide to work out what size tip you need for
the paint you are using:
|
| Material
To Be Sprayed |
Orifice
Size - Recommended Only |
| Lacquer & Stain |
.07 - .013 |
| Enamel |
.011 - .015 |
| Acrylic |
.015 - .021 |
| High Builds |
.019 - .035 |
| Very High Builds |
.031 - .043 |
|
| This is a general guide
only, please check with your paint manufacturer to determine what size
tip should be used. |
|
Now that you understand the
digits on the tip, you can choose almost any combination of spray width
and orifice size to really make the most of your airless sprayer. You
can choose narrow tips for spraying tricky area's like railings on
stairs in enamel or really wide tips for spraying ceiling's with
acrylic. There really is no limit to what can be sprayed with an airless
sprayer.
