Glastar - Carbide Nozzle - 3.2mm

Carbide nozzles last 10 times longer than ceramic nozzles.
Saves time when blasting: not having to stop and replace nozzles.
Carbide nozzles are ideal for &39;non-stop&39; blasting operation and very economical in the long run.

CA Sandblasting Nozzle constricts the high pressure stream of abrasive at the end of the hose and directs it at the project. The abrasive rushing through the nozzle enlarges the hole, and eventually, it must be replaced. The length of time a nozzle can be used depends on whether it is ceramic or tungsten carbide and how much air your compressor can produce.

Air required for continuous blasting at a given nozzle aperture

As you see from the above chart, if you start with a 1.6mm nozzle blasting at 40 PSI (typical glass sand blasting pressure) by the time the aperture has worn to 2.4mm you would already be beyond the capacity of a 2 HP compressor and would have to replace the nozzle. So, the larger your compressor, the longer the useful life of a particular size nozzle.
