SETUP
S ELECTING P ROPER P UMP S IZE
Use the following formula to determine the flow capacity requirements of
the pump; then check the Pump Size Selection Chart (Fig. 3) for the proper
pump size.
Pump Cap.= Max. Boom Width x Max. Speed x Chemical Rate x (.00202)
(Oz./Min.) =
(Ft.) x (MPH) x (Oz./Acre) x (.00202)
Example: A sprayer with 35 ft. booms, traveling at a maximum speed of
14 mph and applying 1 quart of chemical per acre would require a maxi-
mum pump capacity of 31.67 Oz./Min. (i.e. 35 ft. x 14 mph x 32 oz./ac. x
.00202 = 15.8 oz./min.). Referring to the Pump Size Selection Chart we
find that a 1Pump Head pump would be sufficient for this rate. However, if
you needed to apply 100 oz./ac. of chemical, you should use the 2 Head
pump; (35 ft. x 14mph x 100 oz./ac. x .00202 = 98.98 oz./min. exceeds the
recommended range of the smaller 1 Head Pump).
