Boom Cal or Section Width Calibration
Use the following formulas to calculate the section width(s) of a boom or implement. The section width is used
by application control systems to adjust product rates for active sections during application.
Calculate the boom section width with the formula:
where T = the number of Tips in each boom section, S = the spacing between tips, and SW = the Section
Width.
For Example:
20 tips in a section with spacing of 40 inches [101.6 cm] would yield:
or a Section Width of 800 inches [2032 cm] (approximately 67 feet [20.32 m]). Enter 800 [2032] as the boom
width for this section.
Band Spraying Adjustment
The standard application rate must be adjusted when utilizing a system set up to apply product in bands across
the boom width. Refer to Band Spraying Rate Adjustment section on page 244 for assistance calculating the
rate adjustment required for the sprayer configuration.
