6.6 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS
6.6.1 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS WITH STACKED TIPS
Turbulence though the Monsoon Monitor is very low, but stream quality and reach can be improved with the use of the integral stream
straightener on the TFT stacked tip nozzle. Stream straighteners will add some friction loss as indicated below.

6.6.2 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS WITH FOG NOZZLES
Figure 6.6.2
NOTICE
The flow path of a fog nozzle serves as a stream straightener. Use of a stream straightener with a
fog nozzle will increase the stresses on the monitor’s gear train and may lead to premature wear.
Use of a stream straightener with a fog nozzle is not recommended.
