NOTES:
1. Design data obtained from tests in still air.
2. Design data applies to a residual (flowing) pressure range at the nozzle inlet of 20 to
60 psi (1,4 to 4,1 bar). For pressures up to 175 psi (12,1 bar) consult Johnson
Controls Technical Services.
Refer to the authority having jurisdiction for their minimum required residual pressures.
3. The shapes of the Design Spray Profiles remain essentially unchanged over the
maximum Axial Distances shown in Tables C and D.
4. For axial distances of 2 feet (0,6 meters) and less and for nozzle spray angles of 65°
to 140°, the Design Spray Profile is the same as the nominal spray angle.
5. The maximum Axial Distances shown in Tables C and D are based on exposure
protection.
