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.
Enter Airspeed (in mph), Swath Width,
Gallons per Acre and Flow Rate (see chart):
