9.3 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS

9.3.1 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS WITH STACKED TIPS

Turbulence though the Tornado Monitor is very low but stream quality and reach can be improved with the use of the integral stream
straightener on the TFT stacked tip nozzle. See fi gure 8.2 for the TFT stream straightener friction loss.

9.3.2 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS WITH FOG NOZZLES

When using a fog nozzle for fl ows below 300 gpm (1,100 l/min), it is recommended that no stream straightener be used since the
fog nozzle's fl ow path serves as a stream straightener. Above 300 gpm (1,100 l/min), TFT's 5 inch Stream Straightener will generally
improve a fog nozzle's stream.
