How To Select The Right Sized Nozzle For Sprayer?

Even though Nozzle for sprayer does not cost a lot, but the way it is built can impact the sprayer’s performance. 


So, here is your quick guide that will help you in choosing the right Nozzle for your sprayer. 

1- Start with selecting the application rate in (gpa) or gallons per acre. This is the management decision that you will require to make on the basis of pesticide label recommendations, water supply, and the field condition. 

2- Now proceed with selecting the safe yet practical ground speed in mph or miles per hour. 

3- Now determine the width of spray per Nozzle (w). For broadcast, W = Nozzle spacing in inches (this is nothing but the distance between two nozzles inside the boom) For band spraying, W = bandwidth in inches. And in case of directed spraying, W = row spacing (in inches) / no. of nozzles in each row. 

4- Now proceed with understanding the flow rate in GPM required in each Nozzle. Use the equation: gpm = (gpa x mph x W) / 5,940. Here 5,940 is a constant. 

5- Lastly, choose the nozzle size from the maker’s catalog that is capable of providing flow rate (gpm) as per step 4 when the Nozzle is used in the suggested pressure range. If you don’t find the size you are looking for, then change the travel speed in the equation to comprehend the new flow rate.
