Introduction
Welcome to the Pressure Washer Nozzle Size Calculator, a tool designed to simplify the process of selecting the right nozzle size for your pressure washer. Whether you’re a homeowner tackling outdoor cleaning or a professional in the field, this calculator can help optimize your pressure washer’s performance.
Formula
The calculation for the nozzle size is derived from the formula: taking the square root of (Pressure×5)/Flow Rate(Pressure×5)/Flow Rate. The result provides the optimal nozzle size in inches for your pressure washer.
How to Use
- Enter the pressure in PSI (pounds per square inch) in the first input field.
- Input the flow rate in GPM (gallons per minute) in the second input field.
- Click the “Calculate” button to determine the appropriate nozzle size.
- The result will be displayed in the designated output field.
Example
For example, if your pressure washer operates at 2500 PSI and has a flow rate of 4 GPM, the calculator will provide the optimal nozzle size.
