  • Apparatus and method for measuring characteristics of fluid spray patterns
    Patent number: 6962070
    Abstract: An automated impact testing system provides reliable measurements of spray patterns of high-impact nozzles. The impact testing system includes a load cell mounted on a transport for controlled movements in two directions. The load cell includes a sensing pin extending through an aperture in a protective housing of the load cell. A special relationship between the dimensions of the sensing pin and the aperture allows the load cell to produce error-free impact measurement data.
    Type: Grant
