Tables for easy lookup to help calibration and other common tasks
Need to find the right nozzle size for your application? Sometimes a simple chart is the easiest way to figure things out. Print it and place it in your sprayer cab. In this chart, identify your water volume along the top row, and follow the column until you encounter the travel speeds you’re interested in. […]
Canada, like most of the world, is officially Metric. Our American friends are US Imperial. It sounds very cut and dried, doesn’t it? Anyone that’s tried to calibrate a sprayer in Canada quickly discovers that we’re really a horrible amalgam of the two systems. Our sprayers and nozzles often hail from the states, and that means US […]
We often write about how valuable water sensitive paper can be to visualize and assess the coverage we’re getting from a specific application method. A handy reference is this matrix that combines both factors. Print it and use it in the field to compare what your application method is doing to these relative standards. On average, […]
Pulse-width Modulated flow control allows you to change travel speed by a factor of about five without a change in spray pressure. This chart shows which nozzle flow rates to use. Note the significant pressure drop across the Capstan solenoid. This value must be added to the cab spray pressure, as explained here. Capstan Tip […]

Undoubtedly, the number one question we get from operators is: “Which nozzle should I get”? Luckily there’s no simple answer, or we wouldn’t have jobs! The reason it’s not simple is because selecting the “right” nozzle for a sprayer is a process. It can be broken down into two steps: It’s a big question, so […]
