CALIBRATING ​ ​ YOUR ​ ​ PRESSURE ​ ​ NOZZLE ​ ​ BOOM
Metric ​ ​ Version ​ ​ (litres, ​ ​ metres, ​ ​ kph)
(*Standard ​ ​ nozzle ​ ​ spacing ​ ​ 0.5 ​ ​ metres)
You will need to calibrate your sprayer to ensure the accurate application of chemical or liquid fertilizer. If too much
chemical or liquid fertilizer is applied you will be wasting money! If too little is applied you may need to repeat the
spraying,
​ ​
which
​ ​
will
​ ​
be
​ ​
wasting
​ ​
your
​ ​
money
​ ​
and
​ ​
time!
Chemicals
​ ​ are ​ ​ expensive. ​ ​​ ​ Repeat ​ ​ calibration ​ ​ frequently ​ ​ during ​ ​ the ​ ​ seasons ​ ​ to ​ ​ avoid ​ ​ disappointment.
To
​ ​ calibrate ​ ​ your ​ ​ sprayer ​ ​ you ​ ​ will ​ ​ need:
a) nozzle ​ ​ calibrator ​ ​ or ​ ​ an ​ ​ accurate ​ ​ measuring ​ ​ flask
b) watch ​ ​ or ​ ​ clock ​ ​ with ​ ​ seconds, ​ ​ or ​ ​ a ​ ​ stopwatch
c) tape-measure
d) calculator
NOTE:
​ ​​ ​ “Chemical ​ ​ “ ​ ​ also ​ ​ refers ​ ​ to ​ ​ liquid ​ ​ fertilizers.
