6.5 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS

6.5.1 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS WITH STACKED TIPS

Turbulence though the Radius 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.

6.5.2 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS WITH FOG NOZZLES

Figure 6.5.2

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.
