Spray Gun Terms
FEED – Method used to bring material
into the gun for spraying.
PRESSURE FEED – Method of material
feed where a canister or paint tank is
pressurized to force material to the
gun. Either internal or external mix air
caps are used with this method.
Pressure feed is generally used for
spraying heavy bodied materials or for
large size projects.
SIPHON FEED – Method of material
feed where atmospheric pressure
creates a partial vacuum to siphon
material to the gun. Only external mix
air caps are used with this method.
Siphon feed is used with light bodied
materials.
GRAVITY FEED – Method of material
feed similar to the siphon feed method.
However, the cup is inverted to create a
positive fluid pressure at the nozzle.
MIX – The mixing of material and air
when spraying.
INTERNAL MIX – Process where the air
and material are mixed inside the air
cap just before being sprayed. This
method is best for heavy bodied, slow
drying materials and can only be used
with the pressure feed method. Do not
use fast drying materials with internal
mix. The material will dry inside and
quickly clog the air cap.
EXTERNAL MIX – Process where the air
and material are mixed just after
leaving the nozzle. This type of mix
should be used for fast drying materials
and when a high quality finish is
needed.
BLEEDER/NON-BLEEDER – Indicates
whether air flows through the gun
continuously or as the trigger is pulled.
BLEEDER – In this mode, air passes
continuously through the gun whether
spraying or not. This mode is generally
used when the air is supplied by a
continuously running compressor that
does not have a tank.
NON-BLEEDER – In this mode, air flows
only when the trigger is pulled. This
