6.4.11 - CALCULATION OF FLOW RATE FOR DIFFERENT TABLES
CAUTION
Risk of errors in the flow rate calculations!
For sprayers equipped with a regulation system with a flow meter, only use volumes/ha
calculated with a density of 1
Unless stated the flow rates are calculated with a density of 1 and a distance between
nozzles of 0.5m
Calculate d = Q x V
1200
d: nozzle flow rate, in litres / min.
Q: volume of liquid to be sprayed in litres / hectare,
V: advance speed in kph
Example: if there is 450 l / ha to be sprayed at 5.5
kph
(distance between nozzles: 0.5 m)
d = 455 x 5,5 = 2,06 l / min.
1200
Choice of nozzle and pressure setting in function of
d:
► refer to column l / min. of previous tables.
→ for an AFX nozzle fit either:
• brown nozzle 05 for 3.3 bars
• grey nozzle 06 for 2.3 bars
Correction of unit flow rate in function of
the density.
For a different density of liquid, calculate the
corresponding unit flow rate = D
1.4
D: unit flow rate with density 1
Example: flow rate of a trifilet yellow nozzle at 3
bars with a liquid of density 1.4:
0,79 = 0,67 litres / min.
