Power consumption
The power consumed by the operation of an electric tool (see "Type").
Most modern spray guns, even performant ones, have a rather low power: for example, models
with more than 1 kW are extremely rare, and in most cases, power consumption does
not exceed 500 W at all. So when connecting such equipment to sockets, there are usually no problems; only single units of high performance, requiring 3.5 kW or more, have to be connected according to special rules (directly to the shield). In other cases, data on power consumption is most often not needed for normal use and may be required only for specific tasks — for example, to calculate the load on an autonomous generator.
Paint consumption
Consumption of paint or other material (for example, mortar for plaster) when the spray gun is operating in normal mode.
The higher the flow rate, the more material the tool can apply per unit of time, the better it is suitable for processing large areas and for applying thick coatings. On the other hand, not all types of work require high productivity, and sometimes relatively low consumption is optimal. Detailed recommendations on this subject for different situations can be found in special sources.
Nozzle size
The diameter of the nozzle at the outlet of the spray gun.
It is from this nozzle that paint or other working material comes out. And the productivity and spot size at the exit depend on the diameter. Accordingly, larger nozzles are better suited for processing large surfaces, while smaller nozzles provide greater precision and accuracy. Thus, this parameter is directly related to the type of device (see above). There are also
spray guns with a replaceable nozzle, when more than one nozzle is provided in the kit, which expands the possibilities of using the device.
