BGF / BG / TBGF Full Cone Spray Nozzle
The BGF / BG / TBGF is a low to medium capacity spray nozzle producing a uniform full cone spray pattern. The BG nozzle is a flanged spray tip and used with a retaining nut, whereas the BGF nozzle is a female threaded spray nozzle. Both nozzle types are a two piece construction using an internal disc or vane to create the full cone spray pattern.
The BGF / BG / TBGF spray nozzles are mainly used on continuous casting machines for secondary cooling
- Two piece construction using body and internal disc or vane
- Full Cone Spray Pattern
- Uniform Distribution
- Male or Female Connections
- 3/8” Thread Type
- Hex body for easy installation
- Wide Range of spray angles

Full Cone Spray Nozzles
Full cone spray nozzles are another popular spray nozzle due to the many variations and vast range of suitable applications.
In general, a uniform distribution of medium to large droplets are produced in a solid round spray pattern, with either narrow, standard or wide spray angles.
When the Full Cone spray nozzles are installed on a header, they can provide an even distribution of liquid using either a 33% or 50% spray overlap.
Due to the design range that IC Spray offer, the flow capacity can be very low (less than 0.5 litres per minute) to extremely high (over 10,000 litres per minute). Please contact our sales team for assistance with nozzle selection.
Design variations of a Full Cone Spray Nozzle
There are two common designs to generate a full cone spray pattern:
Design 1 – Axial (In-Line) Design
The axial full cone spray exits on the same axis it enters, to generate the full cone spray pattern an internal disc or vane is located within the nozzle body, this causes the liquid to swirl, and the centrifuge force exerted upon the geometry of the exit orifice creates the spray pattern.
The axial full cone design creates medium sized droplets with a medium to soft impact on the spray target area. The spiral design within this range is resistant to clogging due to the unique spiral design, please refer to the product datasheet for further information.
Design 2 – Tangential (Right Angle) Design
Using the tangential design full cone nozzle the spray exits 90° to the entry axis.
To generate the cone spray pattern the liquid enters the nozzle, and the internal geometry creates the spray pattern with the liquid swirling around the nozzle body cavity before exiting the spray orifice.
The tangential design is resistant to clogging as no internal discs or vanes are needed to generate the full cone (solid cone) spray pattern.
The tangential full cone nozzle creates large droplets compared to the axial full cone range and higher impact upon the spray target area.

For the majority of spray applications, low pressure is required in the range of 1-5 bar. However, for applications requiring either high flow volumes or high impact, then high pressure is used.
Within our range of products, we have high pressure materials such as tungsten carbide that operate at pressures up to 270 bar. Contact our office for further technical assistance and to identify what pressure is best for your application.
The spray nozzle material depends on several factors, including what liquid is to be sprayed, if the spray process is high temperature and what operating pressure is to be used at the nozzles.
