Spray classification for selected flat fan nozzles.

摘要

The flat fan nozzles made by Mikolajczak Agro Technology Company (MMAT) (standard RS, and pre-orifice AZ), in the ISO sizes of: 02, 03, and 04 were evaluated. The spray quality parameters: D_V10, D_V50, D_V90, and RS, in the working pressure range of: 150, 300 and 450 kPa, were determined. The coefficient of volume fraction droplets smaller than 100 micro m was also calculated. The spray classification of MMAT nozzles was defined according to ASAE standards. This information should be useful for the sprayer operator when making a selection of a field sprayer's working parameters according to the pesticide use guide.Digital Object Identifier http://dx.doi.org/10.2478/v10045-012-0027-2
