Sapphire Nozzles

Using sapphire nozzles will provide longer life than using metal and we can hold tighter tolerances due to sapphires acceptance of higher surface finish.

Sapphire Nozzles

Sapphire Orifice Jewels

Sapphire is an excellent material for jewel orifices because of its resistance to wear, heat and corrosion, as well as its low friction.

Sapphire Orifice Jewels
