Pre-Operation (Cont.)

flow rate or capacity the sprayer can accommodate. Pump flow rate is measured in gallons per minute (GPM).

Pattern Width

Thickness of the paint coat is determined by spray tip “fan width,” rate of the spray gun movement, and distance to surface.

Spray Tip Selection

Two tips having the same tip size, but different pattern widths, will deliver the same amount of paint over a different area (wider or narrower strip).

A spray tip with a narrow pattern width makes it easy to spray in tight places.

Spray Tip Replacement

During use, especially with latex paint, high pressure will cause the orifice to grow larger. This destroys the pattern.

Replace tips before they become excessively worn. Worn tips waste paint, cause overspray, make cutting-in difficult, and decrease sprayer performance.
