  1. Click ‘Get Form’ to open the SPRAYER CALIBRATION WORKSHEET in the editor.
  2. Begin by entering the Sprayer ID and Date at the top of the form. This information is crucial for tracking your calibration process.
  3. In Section A, measure and input the time taken to cover 88 feet during two runs. Calculate the average time and convert it to miles per hour using the provided formula.
  4. Proceed to Section B, where you will enter the effective boom width, number of nozzles, and spacing between them. Use these values to calculate total inches and convert them into feet.
  5. In Section C, calculate the area covered in one minute by multiplying the distance traveled by the boom width. Ensure all calculations are accurately recorded.
  6. For Section D, divide the area covered (from Section C) by 43,560 ft² to determine how many minutes it takes your rig to spray one acre.
  7. Finally, in Section F, collect data on gallons per minute from your nozzles and calculate total ounces per minute. Use this information to find gallons per acre based on your previous calculations.

Multiply the length of the area you plan to spray times the width. If you are using metres, then divide the product by 10,000, which is the number of m2 in a hectare (ha). For feet and acres, divide by 43,560 which is the number of ft2 in an acre (ac):
After youve calibrated the sprayer to know your application rate in gallons per acre, divide that number into the gallons applied with each tankful to find how many acres each tankful covers. Then, multiply the acres per tank by the herbicide needed per acre to find the herbicide to put in each tankful.
Partially fill the tank with the desired liquid carrier (water or fluid fertilizer), but do not add pesticide. Adjust the pressure to the level that will be used during the actual spraying operation. Catch the output from several nozzles separately for one minute. Average the output over nozzles.
4:24 7:53 So the formula is GPM = 29.7 * diameter squ. Times the square root of nozzle. Pressure.MoreSo the formula is GPM = 29.7 * diameter squ. Times the square root of nozzle. Pressure.
For example, 0.75 gallon on 500 sq ft is the same as 65 gallons per acre: 43,560 sq ft per acre / 500 sq ft x 0.75 gallon = 65 gpa. The desired rate in lb/A or pt/A can be used to calculate the amount of herbicide to add to the spray solution.

It is based on spraying 1/128th of an acre per nozzle and simply collecting the spray released during the time it takes to travel over that given area. Since there are 128 fluid ounces in 1 gallon, the number of ounces collected equals the application rate in gallons per acre.
GPM = (GPA x MPH x W) / (5,940) This equation is more useful to the end-user because it will guide you to the right nozzle size.
Many calibration curves are linear and can be fit with the basic equation y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. However, not all curves are linear and sometimes to get a line, one or both set of axes will be on a logarithmic scale.
