5 Test Actual Sprayer Output

Testing the Actual Sprayer Output to ensure the accuracy of
the application rate before spraying is essential.
This part of calibration uses the 'Jug Test' to check spray
nozzles deliver the correct amount of liquid, according to the
nozzle manufacturer's rate chart.
Jug Test
Items required for the 'Jug Test' are:
• Calibrated 2 litre measuring jug which measures in no
less than 10 ml increments
• Timing device that counts in seconds
• Device or pen & paper for recording nozzle outputs
• Pressure gauge mounted on a nozzle tip to verify
pressure being delivered at the nozzle.
Goldacres part number GA5077983 (suitable gauge mount) is
available for attaching a gauge to nozzle body bayonet fittings
(gauge not included).
Do not proceed with nozzle testing with mixed chemicals, pesticides or an
uncleaned liquid system. Ensure the liquid system is completely decontaminated
and use only clean water for testing.
Contamination or use of any chemicals or pesticides when testing is extremely
hazardous to human health.
