The regulation of flow through residual spray nozzles. 1. Metering orifices in polyethylene discs.

Used residual spray nozzles, which have been discarded because of the increase in discharge rates, may be used again if their discharge rates are reduced by a metering orifice placed in the nozzle tip. A suitable orifice in a polyethylene disc is described. On the basis of laboratory test results, such a disc appears to be an inexpensive and satisfactory metering device for use in combination with worn spray nozzles.
