Laser Particle Analyzers
and Measuring Droplets
The advent of Laser Particle Analyzers makes
it possible for qualified scientists to quickly and
accurately measure droplets, but there is no industry
standard for applying such devices.
In order to get meaningful numbers, it is necessary
to measure droplet size at many points across the
spray plume and to weight these numbers based on the
mass flow of water at each point.

Conditions That Should
Be Applied During The Test:
Ambient temperature should be between 70 and 100F.
Relative humidity should be close to saturation
(90 to 95%).
Water temperature should be between 60 and 90F.
Nozzles should be tested at their design pressure
(as defined by the nozzle OEM).
