CALCULATING "RATE 1 AND RATE 2 CAL"
Determine the application rate at which chemical is to be sprayed. Consult with a dealer to ensure
these spray nozzles are capable of applying at this rate. In determining which spray nozzles to use
with the sprayer the following must be known:
1) Nominal Application Pressure
___ PSI [kpa]
2) Target Application Rate
___ GPA [lit/ha]
3) Target Speed
___ MPH [km/h]
4) Nozzle Spacing
___ inches [cm]
From this information, calculate the volume per minute, per nozzle as follows:
GPM [lit/min] = GPA [lit/ha] x MPH [km/h] x inches [cm]
5,940 [60,000]
EXAMPLE:
1)
Application Pressure
= 30 PSI
2)
Target Application Rate
= 20 GPA
3)
Target Speed
= 5.2 MPH
4)
Nozzle Spacing
= 20 inches
GPM = 20 GPA x 5.2 MPH x 20 inches = .35
5,940
Using GPM .35 and pressure 30 select tip number XR8004 from the chart below, since it comes closest
to providing the desired output.
