Spray Gun Terms
FEED – Method used to bring paint
into the gun for spraying.
PRESSURE FEED – Method of paint
feed where a canister or paint tank is
pressurized to force paint to the gun.
Either internal or external mix air caps
are used with this method. Pressure
feed is generally used for spraying heavy
bodied paints or for large size projects.
SIPHON FEED – Method of paint feed
where atmospheric pressure creates a
partial vacuum to siphon paint to the
gun. Only external mix air caps are used
with this method. Siphon feed is used
with light bodied paints.
GRAVITY FEED – Method of paint
feed similar to the siphon feed method.
However, the cup is inverted to create a
positive fluid pressure at the nozzle.

MIX – The mixing of paint and air
when spraying.
INTERNAL MIX – Process where the air
and paint are mixed inside the air cap
just before being sprayed. This method
is best for heavy bodied, slow drying
paints and can only be used with the
pressure feed method. Do not use fast
drying paints with internal mix. The
paint will dry inside and quickly clog
the air cap.
EXTERNAL MIX – Process where the air
and paint are mixed just after leaving
the nozzle. This type of mix should be
used for fast drying paints and when a
high quality finish is needed.
BLEEDER/NON-BLEEDER – Indicates
whether air flows through the gun
continuously or as the trigger is pulled.
BLEEDER – In this mode, air passes
continuously through the gun whether
spraying or not. This mode is generally
used when the air is supplied by a
continuously running compressor that
does not have a tank.
NON-BLEEDER – In this mode, air
flows only when the trigger is pulled.
This type of operation is used with a
compressor equipped with a tank or
with a large factory air system.
VISCOSITY – A measurement of the
resistance of the flow of a liquid.
ATOMIZATION - Conversion of liquid
to spray droplets (mist).
PATTERN CONTROL KNOB – Used
to form the proper pattern (size and
shape) of paint as it is sprayed from the
gun to the work piece.
FLUID CONTROL KNOB – Used to
control the amount of paint being
mixed with air.
