Spray table Spray table 15.1 Spray tables for flat-fan, anti-drift, injector and airmix nozzles, spraying height 50 cm • The spray rates [l/ha] listed in the spray tables are only valid for water. To convert the spray rates given into AUS, multiply these by 0.88 and, for NP solutions, by 0.85.
Page 208 Spray table Selecting the nozzle type Fig. 156 Example: Required spray rate: 200 l/ha Intended operational speed: 8 km/h Required atomisation characteristic for coarse-dropped (low drift- the crop protection measure: ing) Required nozzle type: Required nozzle size: Required spray pressure: ? bar Required individual nozzle output for calibrating the field sprayer:...
Page 209 Spray table Determining the nozzle type, nozzle size, spray pressure and individual nozzle output 1. Determine the working point for the required spray rate (200 l/ha) and the intended operational speed (8 km/h). 2. At the working point, trace a line down the table. Depending on the position of the working point, this line will run through the cells for various nozzle types.
