Help with Fluid Dispensing Equipment specifications:

Type

	Your choices are...
	Dispense Only		Devices dispense the media, but do not provide mixing or monitoring capabilities. This category includes both manual and power-driven dispensers.
	Mix and Dispense		Devices mix two or more items at a determined ratio and then dispense.
	Meter, Mix and Dispense		Devices meter, mix, and dispense items with a determined mix ratio and shot size.

	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary dispenser types.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
	Dispensing Type
	Your choices are...
	Bead		The media is dispensed at a consistent flow rate to allow the formation of a bead or line of material.
	Dot		Dots are highly-precise and designed for pinpoint-type applications.
	Solid Stream		The fluid is released as a single solid stream.
	Flat Spray		Spray pattern is flat.
	Round Spray		Spray pattern is round.
	Fill ("Potting")		Fill or potting provides a dispensed product of a precise volume for accurate filling applications.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary dispensing application types.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Performance

	Dispense Rate		The volumetric rate at which the dispenser passes fluid media.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Shot Size		The volumetric quantity that the dispenser can produce in a single cycle.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Media Viscosity		The viscosity of the fluid for which the dispenser is used.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Metering Accuracy		Metering accuracy indicates how well the dispenser controls each shot size.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.

Configuration

	Mounting
	Your choices are...
	Container Mounted		The dispenser is mounted on the container from which the fluid is dispensed.
	Hand Held		The dispenser is handheld to manually control the dispensing rate and application location.
	Machine Mounted		The dispenser is mounted on the machine from which the fluid is dispensed. This category includes items like wall-mounted soap dispensers.
	Robotic		The dispenser is mounted on a robotic mechanism to control the dispensing rate and application location.
	Rotary		The dispenser is mounted on a rotating platform for accurate dispensing. Devices are manual or fully adjustable and vary in terms of rotation-speed, circle diameter, and dispensing time. They are available in one or multiple stations.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary mounting types.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
	Container Type
	Your choices are...
	Barrel / Syringe		Barrels and syringes are single or dual-cylinder containers for holding and dispensing liquids. They are available in a variety of sizes. Barrels and syringes may be dispensed manually, by hand, or powered by a dispensing station.
	Bottle		Bottles have tips for manual dispensing or use a pumping mechanism.
	Caulking Tube		Devices are designed for dispensing disposable or reusable caulking tubes.
	Can / Pail / Drum		The dispensed media is stored in a can, pail, or drum. The dispenser draws or dumps media from the container.
	Flexible Tube		Flexible tubes are prepackaged, sealed, and dispensed by mechanical means. A tube that contains cake frosting for lettering is an example.
	Glue Stick		The media is in a solid form until exposed to heat. When heated, the media liquefies and may be dispensed.
	Gun Handle		Devices are handheld and have a gun-shaped handle for holding a container. The device may or may not have a trigger to activate liquid flow.
	Pen		Pens are handheld devices for dispensing fluid. They are typically self-contained and hold a reservoir of fluid.
	Pinch Tube Pen		Pinch tube pens are handheld devices for dispensing fluid.  Typically, they feed a fluid through a tube. The pen controls the amount of fluid that is dispensed.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary dispenser types.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
