Blast Nozzles are available in many styles, sizes and configurations. It is important to know the characteristics of these variations to recommend the correct nozzle for the job.
CHARACTERISTICS
Styles: (Life based on using Black Beauty or Green Diamond)
- Ceramic, life is 2-8 hours, low production cabinet with glassbeads
- Tungsten carbide, life is 300 hours, standard nozzle with all abrasives except Aluminum Oxide
- Silicon carbide, life is 400 hours standard nozzle, however more brittle than tungsten carbide
- Boron carbide, life is 750-1000 hours, very brittle, use with alum. Oxide, carefully handle
Sizes:
- Low production short nozzles, ¾” threaded or flanged for ½” blast hose, best for touch up and cabinets
- Medium production short nozzles, 1 ¼” threaded, 3 – 4” long, best for hard to reach areas
- High production nozzles, 1 ¼” threaded, 6 – 9” long, best for medium to large equipment, parts
- Very high production nozzles, flanged for 1 ¼” ID hose minimum, best efficiency for large scale jobs
Configurations:
- Straight venturi nozzles, best angle to blast the surface is 70 to 80 degrees
- Angle nozzles, best for blasting around corners or right angles
- I.D. blasting nozzles, best for blasting the entire ID of pipe without rotating the pipe
SHORT NOZZLES
- CT, UT short nozzles
- Ceramic flanged, best in blast cabinets with glassbeads or soft abrasive
- Tungsten carbide ¾” threaded, best in cabinets for production work and touch up in the field
- CJD nozzles
- Tungsten carbide 1 ¼” threaded, best for blasting hard to reach areas and small jobs
PRODUCTION NOZZLES
- CSD,TLVE, SSR nozzles
- Tungsten carbide 1 ¼” threaded, doesn’t last as long, but can take more abuse than Silicon and Boron liners
- Silicon carbide 1 ¼” threaded, 25% longer life and weigh less than Tungsten liner but more brittle
- Boron carbide 1 ¼” threaded, 3 times the life of Tungsten, best with hard abrasives, very brittle
HIGH PRODUCTION NOZZLES
- SDX nozzles
- Tungsten carbide flanged, most efficient nozzle for large applications, attach to minimum 1 ¼” blast hose
