What size blast nozzle is normally used?

Nozzle Size For vapor abrasive blasting, the most commonly-used nozzle orifice sizes range from 3/8″ inner diameter to 3/4″, increasing by increments of 1/16″. A 3/8″ nozzle is sufficiently constricted to produce a effective blast pressure with a 185 CFM compressor.
