Figure 8. Spreader Material Distribution Ratio
b. Pour the contents of the first pan on your far left into the graduated cylinder or clear
tube. Measure and record the material deposited (refer to Table 1). Dump the
collected pellets back into the bag or hopper. Repeat this measurement for each pan,
one by one, until all eleven pans are emptied and recorded.
c. Add together all eleven recorded numbers to find the total amount of material caught
in the pans.
d. Divide the amount caught in each pan by the total amount. This is the percentage
caught in each pan.
e.
The distribution ratio should be approximately equal to that shown graphically in
Figure 8, and by percentage in Table 1, with the shaded area of the table the most
important. The unshaded area of the pattern receives negligible product distribution.
NOTE: The distribution pattern shown in Figure 8 and Table 1 represents the ideal
pattern, which may not be reproducible in the field.
