High Pressure Sprays

Safety

  • Combustible and flammable chemicals become explosive when sprayed. Appropriate safety precautions must be designed into the process and equipment if these materials are to be used.

  • High-pressure liquid streams can be dangerous to operators. This is especially true of needle jet configurations. Appropriate operator protection must be provided.

  • High-pressure systems must be designed with mechanical components that can withstand operating pressures. For example, do not use PVC piping downstream of a high-pressure pump.
