ANGUS THERMOSPRAY

MEDIUM VELOCITY WATER SPRAY NOZZLE

The Angus Thermospray medium velocity spray " NPT (Standard) Weight ~ 110g
nozzle is designed to produce a solid cone of evenly " BSPT (Special Order)
distributed water droplets, the majority of which are
less than 0.4mm . The water velocity at the nozzle
exit lies between 15 and 25 m/sec when used within
the recommended operating pressure range of 1.4 to
3.5 bar. Above 3.5 bar the droplet size decreases
reducing the fire plume penetration and increasing ANGUS
the risk of spray pattern distortion by wind. THERMOSPRAY

The Angus Thermospray is designed primarily for

72
use in engineered fire protection systems to provide
exposure protection or to combat fuel fires with a
flashpoint below 66C. Where fast flame knock down
and security against burn back are important Angus
Foam-Water nozzles should be considered.
For protection of risks involving fuels with a
flashpoint above 66C, for exposed protection, long
throws or where high wind speeds are expected
Angus Fyrhed high velocity nozzles should be used. 56
