CE Marking
CE stands for “European Community”. The CE marking affirms that the product conforms to the legal provisions of the European Community; i.e. Machine Guideline 98/37/EG.
Compliance
-> Compliant Paint Spray Guns

Compliant Paint Spray Guns
Paint guns that achieve a -> transfer efficiency higher than 65%, but are not HVLP guns are called “compliant” guns. With these spray guns, the air cap pressure is considerably higher than 10 psi. Consequently they are actually -> HP (high pressure) spray guns. However, due to their relatively high -> transfer efficiency, they are permitted in many countries worldwide (-> VOC).
 
SATA compliant guns bear the designation “RP” (-> RP Technology). These models include, the SATAjet RP, SATAjet RP DIGITAL 2, SATAjet K3 RP, SATAjet K3 RP DIGITAL, SATA Spray-Master RP, SATA KLC RP, SATA LM 2000 B RP, SATA LM 2000 K RP and SATA LM 2000 H RP.
Compressed air quality
Air composition regarding oil, dust and water content.
 
The standard DIN ISO 8573-1 defines the compressed air quality categories with regard to:
Oil content
Definition of the remaining quantity of aerosols and hydrocarbons the compressed air may contain.
Particle size and density
Definition of size and concentration of solid particles compressed air may still contain.
Dew point under pressure
Definition of the temperature to which the compressed air may be cooled down without condensation of the steam contained in it. The dew point under pressure varies with the air pressure.


Dynamic Inlet Pressure
-> Gun Inlet Pressure

Gravity flow cup principle/system
The gravity flow cup principle is an approved system to feed the paint spray guns with paint material. It provides an even material flow during the paint job and consequently best color match.
Gun Inlet Pressure
Precise adjustment of spray gun inlet pressure is essential for a perfect finish. Failure to follow the paint manufacturers recommendations (-> Paint Application Charts) usually results in color matching problems. The correct inlet pressure is measured with a gauge and adjusted by an air micrometer. Ensure that the trigger is pulled during the adjustment to measure dynamic inlet pressure.
 
SATA offers the top class SATAjet 2000 HVLP, SATAjet RP and SATAjet K3 models exclusively with a digital pressure gauge integrated in the gun body handle. Pressure adjustment is achieved with the gun micrometer. As a result, these guns are 20% shorter and 20% lighter than conventional guns using an external air micrometer with gauge.
 
In order to achieve adequately high inlet pressure, sufficient air must be available as well. Air consumption varies considerably from gun to gun (-> Air Consumption and Gun Inlet Pressure).

HD Conventional High Pressure Technology
  • Classic method of spray-painting for the highest finish requirements.
  • Dynamic inlet pressure and atomization pressure are more or less identical.
  • Varies from 43 – 58 psi (3.5-4 bars) according to type of spray gun. Extremely fine atomization and great surface coverage. Due to modern nozzle technology, many high-pressure guns achieve more than 65% transfer efficiency. The higher dynamic energy compared to HVLP technology often keeps the transfer efficiency considerably below those achieved with HVLP guns. This is due in particular to particle bounce back from the object and increased over spray.
  • All-inclusive application fields and various specialized work in industrial trades characterize this reliable technology.

HP (High Pressure) Paint Spray Guns
  • Classic spray-painting technology for the highest finish requirements. Extremely fine atomization combined with high surface coating potential.
  • Air cap pressure is about 7 – 15 psi (0.5-1 bar) below the -> Gun Inlet Pressure. Depending on the type of gun, it amounts to 43 – 58 psi (3.5-4 bars). The higher dynamic energy compared to HVLP technology causes particle bounce back from the object and higher over spray emissions. Only -> transfer efficiency considerably less than achieved with HVLP guns can be obtained.
  • Up to date nozzle technology allows obtaining -> transfer efficiency higher than 65% with many high-pressure guns (-> RP Technology).
  • All-inclusive application fields and various specialized work in industrial trades characterize this reliable technology.
  • However, VOC legislation more or less limits the use of these spray guns in some countries.

HVLP
HVLP = High Volume Low Pressure - low spray pressure technology.

Separation degree (Filter separation degree)

The filter separation degree η indicates the difference in concentration of the dirt particles before and after the filter. It is often called efficiency degree as well. The filter separation degree η is an indication for the filter efficiency. The indication always refers to the minimum particle size [ µm ] the filter is capable of separating.

K1 = Dirt particle concentration before the filter.

K2 = Dirt particle concentration after the filter.

η = Filter separation degree [ % ]

η =100- (100*K1/K2)


Silicone
Plastics based on a silicon-oxygen structure.
Silicone and silicon-based substances have various fields of application in technology and chemistry.
Besides industrial use, the sector of construction coatings appreciates aquaeous dispersions of silicone resins (silicone emulsions)
for the application of water repellent finishing on walls.
Silicone-based substances change the surface tension. Even very small silicone particles can cause considerable coating flaws (silicone craters). Therefore, silicone-based substances (e.g. gloves, oil etc.) must never be used in coating areas.

Spot and Smart Repair
Repair of minor damage in the car refinishing area. In this case, the SATA minijet is the ideal paint spray gun. Special SR (Spot Repair) nozzle sets featuring a wider fan, allow touch-up work on extremely small surfaces without any edge zones.

T.E.C. Transfer Efficiency Control
A version of the “W 400” spray gun from Iwata is a conventional non-HVLP gun with a transfer efficiency of > 65%. Contrary to advertising appearing in some countries, many paint guns with HVLP technology achieve transfer efficiency considerably above that obtained with the W 400 T.E. C.
Trans Tech
New version of conventional non-HVLP spray guns from the DeVilbiss Company. The term implies a transfer efficiency of > 65%.
Transfer Efficiency
The transfer efficiency (often referred to as the transfer rate) describes the relationship between the solids content of the material sprayed and that actually deposited on the surface of the object.
Transfer efficiency is determined by the following formula:
 
Transfer efficiency [%]
= Solid content deposited on the object [g] /
Solid content sprayed [g] x 100 [%]
 
Spray guns with high transfer efficiency allow a profitable low waste surface coating process that helps protect the environment.
 
Transfer efficiency is a guideline influenced by a variety of factors.
 
Simply mentioning the transfer efficiency of a spray gun is not sufficient to describe its advantages that depend on a number of variable factors:
  • Atomization quality
  • Gun inlet air pressure
  • Distance to the object
  • Material viscosity
  • Vertical or horizontal application
  • Size of coating surface
  • Possible edge coatings
  • Material pressure
  • Etc.
Currently it is not possible to make direct comparisons of transfer efficiency data provided by spray gun manufacturers in order to draw conclusions of the advantages of a particular spray gun. An exact comparison of different spray guns is possible only by conducting comparable measurements on the same test equipment with comparable parameters. The surface finish obtained must also be taken into consideration with these parameters.
 
A basis for determining transfer efficiency may be found in VDMA Directive 24 366 and the European Standard Draft prEN 13966-1.

Viscosity
Material viscosity is the time (in seconds) it takes the material to completely flow out of a standardized container. There are different measuring methods available. Please find the corresponding chart attached.
VOC
VOC means Volatile Organic C ompounds; i.e. organic solvents.
 
These solvents like many other substances trigger the formation of ground level ozone in combination with solar radiation.
 
VOC guidelines established by the European Community (EU) are intended to contribute to reducing solvent emissions. These guidelines will be valid beginning November 1, 2004 for new shops and November 1, 2007 for all companies. Meanwhile, the VOC Guidelines have been incorporated into national law in most EU member states.
