Water Jet Reference Tables
To determine the flow of a standard NLB nozzle at any given pressure, just click on the corresponding table below.
We’ve also provided tables to tell you the theoretical nozzle thrust at a variety of pressures and flows, and the pressure drop you can expect when using hoses of different diameters.
Finally, there’s a helpful conversion chart with English and metric equivalents for pressure, flow, weight, hp, and more.

Nozzle Flow
| Flow | English | Metric |
|---|---|---|
| 0° Nozzles | 1,000 psi to 20,000 psi | 70 bar to 1,400 bar |
| 0° Sapphire | 20,000 psi to 40,000 psi | 1,400 bar to 2,800 bar |
| 0° Carbide | 5,000 psi to 20,000 psi | 345 bar to 1,400 bar |
| 15° Fan Nozzles | 1,000 psi to 20,000 psi | 70 bar to 1,400 bar |
| 15° Fan Nozzles | 20,000 psi to 40,000 psi | 1,400 bar to 2,800 bar |
| Nozzle Thrust | 1,000 psi to 40,000 psi | 70 bar to 2,800 bar |
