Spray Pattern Test

  1. Completely close tester shut off valve to pressure gauge. Insert end of nozzle into container that permits observation and protection. See Figure.
  2. Depress tester lever abruptly and quickly. Spray pattern should have a tight, evenly shaped conical pattern which is well atomized. The pattern should be similar in shape to the nozzle axis. Replace any nozzle assembly which does not meet specifications.
