Spray Gun Terms
FEED
– Method used to bring paint
into the gun for spraying.
PRESSURE FEED
– Method of paint
feed where a canister or paint tank is
pressurized to force paint to the gun.
Either internal or external mix air caps
are used with this method. Pressure feed
is generally used for spraying heavy bod-
ied paints or for large size projects.
SIPHON FEED
– Method of paint feed
where atmospheric pressure creates a
partial vacuum to siphon paint to the
gun. Only external mix air caps are
used with this method. Siphon feed is
used with light bodied paints.
GRAVITY FEED
– Method of paint
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 paint and air
when spraying.
INTERNAL MIX
– Process where the air
and paint are mixed inside the air cap
just before being sprayed. This method
is best for heavy bodied, slow drying
paints and can only be used with the
pressure feed method. Do not use fast
drying paints with internal mix. The
paint will dry inside and quickly clog
the air cap.
EXTERNAL MIX
– Process where the
air and paint are mixed just after leav-
ing the nozzle. This type of mix should
be used for fast drying paints and
when a high quality finish is needed.

BLEEDER/NON-BLEEDER
– Indicates
whether air flows through the gun con-
tinuously or as the trigger is pulled.
BLEEDER
– In this mode, air passes con-
tinuously through the gun whether
spraying or not. This mode is generally
used when the air is supplied by a con-
tinuously running compressor that does
not have a tank.
NON-BLEEDER
– In this mode, air flows
only when the trigger is pulled. This
type of operation is used with a com-
pressor equipped with a tank or with a
large factory air system.
VISCOSITY
– A measurement of the
resistance of the flow of a liquid.
ATOMIZATION
- Conversion of liquid
to spray droplets (mist).
PATTERN CONTROL KNOB
– Used to
form the proper pattern (size and
shape) of paint as it is sprayed from the
gun to the work piece.
FLUID CONTROL KNOB
– Used to con-
trol the amount of paint being mixed
with air.
PAINT TANK
– An auxiliary pressurized
paint reservoir that allows continuous
spraying of large amounts of paint with-
out stopping for refills as with a canister. It
also allows using the spray gun at any
angle or orientation.
