Description

B05B covers the design and construction of equipment that disperses fluids through spraying or atomising processes. This includes spray guns, atomizers, nozzles, and associated apparatus for applying liquid or powder materials to surfaces. The classification encompasses various spray mechanisms (pressure-fed, suction-fed, rotary atomizers) and nozzle designs used across industrial coating, agricultural, and cleaning applications. Detailed technical specifications for individual spray methods and specialized nozzle types are found in subordinate classifications.

Scope Notes

Glossary: Coating coatings The applied material. A coating may be a solidified layer originally applied as a liquid (e.g. dried paint) or a layer of material which, once applied, remains in a liquid or semi-liquid state (e.g. lubricant). Liquid or fluent designates materials which can flow, e.g. liquids, including solutions, dispersions and suspensions, as well as semi-liquids, pastes, melts and particulate materials. Particulate materials particulate material Solid materials in the form of very small pieces, e.g. powders, granules, short fibres or chips. | Limiting references: Spray-mixers with nozzles Aerosol containers Drinking fountains | Application references: Nozzles for bathing devices for special therapeutic or hygienic purposes Sprayers or atomisers specially adapted for therapeutic purposes Inhalators Nozzles specially adapted for fire-extinguishing Machines or devices for abrasive blasting with particulate material Nozzles for injection moulding Nozzles for ink-jet printing mechanisms Dropping or releasing powdered, liquid or gaseous matter in flight by spraying, e.g. insecticides Nozzles for introducing articles or materials into containers or wrappers Filling nozzles for transferring liquid from bulk storage containers or reservoirs into vehicles or into portable containers, e.g. in vehicle service stations Nozzles for delivery of liquid or semi-liquid contents by internal gaseous pressure Nozzles for drilling by liquid or gas jets Supplying combustion engines in general with combustible mixtures or constituents thereof Atomising devices for mist lubrication
