Spray Characterization and Testing
The best strategy to solve spray problems, optimize performance or find new ways to spray is to conduct spray characterization studies with different nozzles under different conditions. Spray Analysis and Research Services has equipped our laboratory, the largest in the world, with state-of-the-art measuring instrumentation. And, we’ve staffed our lab with engineers – not technicians – who have decades of experience with spray nozzles, nozzle design and nozzle fabrication.
We strongly believe in the old saying, ‘there’s no substitute for reality’. Often, companies predict spray performance using theoretical calculations, a bit of guesswork and limited testing. We complement theory by testing spray performance using the actual operating parameters of the application. We’ve invested in several specialized laboratory instruments so we can replicate our customers’ environments.
These instruments, in the hands of our expert staff, yield actionable results. There are many different ways to measure liquids and report data – with significant impact on results. Our staff understands how to choose the tests and instruments and how to interpret the data to precisely predict results.
At the conclusion, you will have specific, documented information you can put to use immediately. In some cases, this means knowing how to resolve a spray problem or optimize performance. In others, it will mean concept validation or a new spray nozzle design.
Our testing services include:
- Spray characterization.
- Drop size distribution.
- Spray impact.
- Spray pattern.
- Spray coverage.
- Spray angle.
- Evaporation rate.
