Impact Measurement Devices

Impact measurement is critical in many industrial processes. Applications such as pressure wash, vessel cleaning and descaling require high impact levels and accurate distributions for proper cleaning and scale removal.

Spraying Systems Co. designed and developed a proprietary device to specifically measure impact force. It measures data in two axes.  Outputs include impact, lateral and transverse distribution, coverage, and spray thickness data.

The patented equipment uses a load cell mounted to a motorized track. The load cell moves through the entire spray pattern and captures a 3D image of the impact distribution. The load cell first moves to the outside of the spray pattern. Then it traverses through the spray, taking measurements at predetermined intervals. The data collected is converted into a series of 3D plots. 

A lateral impact plot provides coverage information and illustrates the distribution of the impact across the spray.  A contour plot of the nozzle is used to determine the total impact area of the spray. This data is used to determine the cleaning effectiveness of a nozzle and is often used in spray characterization studies.
