| Nozzle PSI | Velocity (m/s) | Impact Energy | Typical Micron |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60 PSI | ~140 m/s | Moderate | 25 - 40µm |
| 80 PSI | ~180 m/s | High | 50 - 75µm |
| 100 PSI | ~220 m/s | Ultra-High | 75 - 100µm |
| 120 PSI | ~250+ m/s | Supersonic | 100µm+ |
Velocity Logic
Abrasive velocity is the square of kinetic energy. Small increases in PSI result in massive gains in cleaning speed. However, excessive velocity beyond 110 PSI with soft media like Garnet causes particle shattering, increasing dust levels and reducing recyclability without improving cleaning rates.
Recommended Pressures
- Shipyards (Garnet): 90 - 105 PSI
- Refineries (TC): 80 - 100 PSI
- Restoration (Glass): 40 - 60 PSI
