Recommended Fluids & Production Rates
NOTE: All air cap pattern shapes and lengths were
measured under the following conditions:
Distance to Target: 254 mm (10 in.)
Inlet Air Pressure: 3.4 bar (34 kPa, 50 psi)
Fan air: adjusted for maximum width with manual gun.
Fluid Flow Rate: 300 cc/min. (10 oz./min.)

WARNING
Always turn off the power, air, and fluid supply to the gun, and trigger the gun to relieve system pressure before
installing or removing the air cap/fluid nozzle assembly. This will help reduce the risk of serious injury, including
splashing in the eyes or on the skin, or electric shock.
NOTE: Refer to your air spray gun instruction manual to install the air cap and fluid nozzle. If you do not have a
copy of the manual, copies are available at no charge from Graco Inc.

Viscosity
Fan Pattern Production Rate
Light: 20 centipoise at 21_C (70_F)
Medium: 70 centipoise at 21_C (70_F)
Heavy: 160, 260 centipoise at 21_C (70_F)
High Solids: Over 360 centipoise at 21_C (70_F)
Centipoise = centistokes x fluid specific gravity.

(7 oz./min.)
Medium Production: Fluid flow of up to 400 cc/min.
(14 oz./min.)
High Production:
Fluid flow of up to 600 cc/min.
(20 oz./min.)
Round Pattern Production Rate
Light Production:
NOTE: Refer to the Viscosity Conversion Chart on
the back cover to convert to other units of measurement.
Fluid flow of up to 150 cc/min.
(5 oz./min.)
Medium Production: Fluid flow of up to 200 cc/min.
(7 oz./min.)
How to Use the Fluid Nozzle Graphs
KEY
260 Centipoise Fluid
160 Centipoise Fluid
70 Centipoise Fluid
20 Centipoise Fluid
Use the procedure below to select the proper fluid
nozzle for your application.
1. For each of the fluid nozzle graphs, find the point
on the graph corresponding to your desired fluid
flow rate and viscosity. Mark the point on each
graph with a pencil.
2. The thick vertical line in each graph represents the
target flow rate for that nozzle size. Find the graph
that has the marked point closest to the thick
vertical line. This is the recommended nozzle size
for your application. Significantly exceeding the
target flow rate may result in lower spray performance due to excessive fluid viscosity.
3. From the marked point, move across to the vertical
scale to find the required fluid pressure. If the
required pressure is too high, then use the next
largest nozzle size. If the fluid pressure is too low
(< 0.35 bar, 3.5 kPa, 5 psi), then use the next
smallest nozzle size.
