What are the different types of spray patterns? Different types of spray patterns refer to shape and distribution of liquid droplets from nozzle, important in painting, agriculture, and cleaning. Common spray patterns include flat fan pattern which produces flat fan-shaped spray with uniform distribution for broadcast spraying and painting, hollow cone pattern which produces circular ring of droplets with hollow center for atomization and cooling, full cone pattern which produces solid cone of droplets covering circular area with uniform distribution for washing and coating, solid stream pattern which produces straight jet stream for long distance, mist or fog pattern which produces fine mist for humidifying and pest control, and adjustable patterns from narrow jet to wide fan in garden hose nozzles. In paint sprayers, patterns include horizontal fan, vertical fan, and round pattern. So spray patterns include flat fan, hollow cone, full cone, solid stream, and mist, each designed for specific coverage, droplet size, and application, with nozzle selection determining pattern and distribution.
