Branch Nozzle Component – Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing

Component Specifications

Definition

A branch nozzle is a specialized fluid distribution component designed for outlet branches in industrial systems, engineered to control flow direction, velocity, and pattern at branch points to ensure uniform distribution or targeted delivery within processing equipment.

Working Principle

Operates by converting pressure energy into controlled kinetic energy through a precisely engineered orifice and flow path, utilizing fluid dynamics principles to direct and shape the flow stream at branch junctions while maintaining system pressure balance.

Materials

Stainless steel (AISI 316L), PTFE-lined carbon steel, or ceramic composites depending on application; corrosion-resistant alloys for chemical compatibility; food-grade materials for sanitary applications.

Technical Parameters

Spray Angle 15°-90° adjustable
Connection Type Flanged, threaded, or welded
Pressure Rating Up to 1500 psi
Orifice Diameter 5-50 mm
Temperature Range -40°C to 400°C
Flow Coefficient (Cv) 0.5-25

Standards

ISO 2852, DIN 11851, ASME B16.5
