Flow Regulators are usually mounted behind cultivator shanks for the subsurface application of liquid fertilizers and soil fumigants. They are also used for above-ground streaming applications.
Note: Always insert orifice plate with side marked with number facing the outlet. Please first check the tables at the image before make your decision.
To determine the orifice plates you need, use the following equations:
|
GPM
|
=
|
GPA x MPH W
|
OR
|
l/min
|
=
|
l/ha x km/hr x W
|

5,940

km/h x W

Nozzle spacing (in inches or cm) for broadcast spraying
|
|
|
=
|
Spray width (in inches or cm) for single nozzle, band spraying
or boomless spraying
|
|
|
=
|
Row spracing (in inches or cm) divided by the number of nozzles
per row for directed spraying

Tabulated flow rates are for spraying water into air atmospheric pressure. If your application creates backpressure, or if spraying into a liquid, measure and calibrate to ensure proper application rates. Conversion factors must be used when spraying liquids that are heavier or lighter than water.
