Which statement best describes the pattern produced by a cone nozzle?

• A. Circular patterns
• B. Elliptical pattern with light edges
• C. Narrow rectangular pattern
• D. Irregular spray pattern

Answer: (A)

The spray pattern is defined by the shape of the nozzle and how the liquid breaks into droplets as it exits. A cone nozzle releases the liquid outward from the tip in a cone-shaped jet, which creates a circular distribution of spray when it hits a target. In other words, the mist spreads evenly around the nozzle axis, producing a round patch of coverage. Others patterns come from different nozzle designs: a fan-shaped or flat fan nozzle produces a wide, rectangular or wedge-shaped patch, a narrow rectangular pattern results from tightly focused or directional nozzles, and an irregular spray pattern usually signals a problem like clogging, wear, or misalignment that disrupts the symmetry.
