Second, electromagnetic flowmeters detect the flow by electrically measuring the velocity of the liquid, which makes them independent of viscosity or density of the fluid measured. They are extremely accurate using the standard calibration number. SureFire still recommends you perform a catch test to verify the system is properly installed and configured. -

NH3 applications apply around 1 to 1.5 oz/min/row. An orifice for this rate would have a 0.015” diameter opening. The SureFire system uses metering tubes with diameters of 0.080” (purple) and 0.096” (blue). This 12’ tube with more than three times the diameter creates a fertilizer system resistant to plugging while providing excellent row to row distribution. -

At 32 oz/acre, each row is only putting out about 1 oz/min. It would be best to catch the total pump output for several minutes to get a large enough sample volume. The SureFire electromagnetic flowmeter typically measures very accurately. - Page 35 Rate. On a 32 oz/acre, this would be ± 1 oz. If this is set too low, the controller attempts to adjust to every slight deviation from the Target Rate. This can actually lead to oscillating back and forth across the Target Rate. 396-3053Y1 SureFire Tower 100 for NutriSphere®-N NH3 for Pro 700 Revised 04/13/2016...
