This new air-atomizing nozzle enables the effective spraying of viscous fluids at very fine atomization but at low flowrates. The XA ER nozzle provides a full cone spray pattern for liquids with viscosity of 100 cP or more. The nozzle operates with an external mix, which means the exit orifice can be larger for handling viscous fluids to be sprayed. The XA ER is also a liquid pressure-fed nozzle (as opposed to siphon fed), so the flowrate is not dependent on the air pressure, which leads to easier control. The nozzle is available for 1/4- and 1/8-in. pipe sizes, and can be specified in standard materials, including nickel-plated brass and 303 or 316 stainless steel. — Bete Ltd., Lewes, U.K.
