suutimet

In Finnish, suuttimet is the plural form of suutin. The term refers to devices that direct, shape, or control the flow of a fluid or gas, or that function as mouthpieces in various tools and instruments. Because of this broad usage, suuttimet appear in several technical and everyday contexts.

In engineering and industry, nozzles are designed to regulate jet velocity, direction, and dispersion. Common applications include fuel systems (for example, ruiskuttimen suuttimet, or fuel injector nozzles), spray equipment for coatings and agriculture, and burners where the nozzle controls gas flow and mixing. The performance of a suutin depends on factors such as orifice size, spray angle, and operating pressure.

In irrigation and horticulture, suuttimet help control water distribution, affecting droplet size and reach to optimize efficiency and coverage. In consumer products, nozzle design influences how precisely liquid is dispensed and how much is released, from spray bottles to cleaning devices.

The term can also be used more generally to describe any small jet or outlet that releases a fluid or gas. Because suuttimet covers multiple domains, the exact meaning is determined by context, and English translations typically use nozzle, spray nozzle, fuel injector nozzle, or mouthpiece as appropriate.
