When it comes to air spray gun, HVLP (high flow low air pressure) and LVLP (low flow low air pressure) are the two most common styles of air spray gun, but they have the same internal structure, both of which are composed of nozzles, gun bodies, air caps and other accessories, and have two feeding methods: siphon type and gravity type. But have you ever seen the differences, let's explore them next.
The working pressure is different from the air flow
HVLP air spray gun: The working pressure is 0.1-10psi (within 0.7 bar) and the air flow is 10-25cfm, a larger air flow means that a more powerful air compressor is required.
LVLP air spray gun :The working pressure is 10-30psi (0.7-2.0bar), the air flow is 5-18cfm, the smaller air flow is not high for the air compressor, basically any air compressor can be applied.
The applicable coatings are different from the scope of application
HVLP air spray gun: suitable for low-viscosity coatings such as varnishes, primers and latex paints, etc., smaller parts and components are affected by overspray to a greater extent, and the working pressure is smaller, which helps to reduce the phenomenon of overspray, suitable for small volume but extremely high surface quality requirements, metal (doors and windows, guardrails), wood (household items) and some plastic parts surface (toys) treatment, etc., suitable for home DIY projects (furniture renovation).
LVLP air spray gun: The high working pressure helps to atomize high-viscosity materials, suitable for high-viscosity coatings and water-based materials such as high-build coatings, anticorrosive paints, waterproof paints, etc., suitable for some large workpieces and high-quality applications, such as automobile bodies, large workpieces (bridges and building steel structures), suitable for industrial applications.
Overall, if you are a home DIY enthusiast or you need to paint some toys, furniture, doors and windows in a small area, some delicate small parts, HVLP spray gun is the best choice for you. But if you are working in the industrial and repair industries, and need to do quantitative spraying and large part painting, LVLP is the best choice for you.
