= 0.5 x 10 x 50 = 0.42 litres/ min = 420 ml/min The tables below give examples of combinations of flow rates and vehicle speeds needed to apply volume application rates of 0.5 and 1.0 litre per hectare. MICRON AU8115MS VEHICLE MOUNTED SPRAYER... -
Page 20: Set The Flow Rate
6.4. Set the Flow Rate The flow rate from the AU8115MS can be controlled either by the use of an adjustable restrictor valve or by interchangeable in-line orifice restrictor plates. The orifice restrictor plates should only be used when the sprayer will remain set to a constant flow rate for a long period. - Page 21 IMPORTANT: if using the flow control valve, it is essential to ensure that there are no orifice plates fitted. The position of the flow control valve knob can be fixed after adjustment by tightening the locking screw using the 2 mm hexagonal key provided in the tool kit.
