Calibration

All sprayers need to be calibrated and kept
in good condition. This will ensure that the
correct rate of chemical is applied to the
target.
Follow these steps to calibrate the sprayer:
1. Measure the spray width of the nozzle on a
dry surface (in metres)
2. Spray a test area at the intended pressure
and speed. Record distance (in metres)
covered in one minute (minute)
3. Measure the nozzle output in litres over
one minute in a measuring jug (l/min)
The spray volume can be calculated by the
following formula:
Application
Nozzle output (l/min) x 10,000
=
rate (L/Ha)
Spray width (m) x speed (m/min)
