Nozzle Calculator
To determine the number of CP® nozzles you need, enter your airspeed (mph), swath width and the highest rate (gallons per acre)you apply. Check the charts below to choose an orifice size and pressure you wish to use and enter the flow rate shown in that category. A minimum of 30 psi should be used with CP's. Please note that using the 0.172 orifice may cause an increase in driftable fines. When drift is an issue, the 0.125 orifice is a better choice. Number 25 tips (i.e. 4025) flow at about the same rate as the 0.125 orifice, so this calculator can be used to determine the number of flat fan nozzles, also. When using CP-03's or CP-07/09's, the nozzle body material determines flow rates. Stainless nozzle bodies flow at a lesser rate than polypropylene.
