- Practical sprayer work mixes US Imperial and Metric units, causing confusing calibration conversations.
- Applicators often speak in hybrid unit sentences, producing mind-rending mixes like mph, L/ha, psi, ml/min, and oz/acre.
- We created ultimate conversion tables to solve almost any Imperial/Metric emergency; they’re complete and updated when errors found.

Canada, like most of the world, is officially Metric. Just to the south, however, we have American who operate using the US Imperial system. 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: “Mock-tric”. Our sprayers and some of our nozzles often hail from the states, and that means nozzle tables and some sprayer indicators are in US Imperial. However, our pesticide labels are from Health Canada’s Pest Regulatory Directive, and that means Metric
So, when speaking with applicators about their sprayer practices, we’re often treated to mind-bending sentences like:
Well, I drive 12 mph, spraying about 150 L/ha and my pressure is about 40 psi. How many ml/min should my nozzles emit for a product that wants 6 oz/acre acid equivalent?
Cue the quiet sobbing…
Well, your smoking calculators are in for a treat! In a fit of frustration we created the ultimate set of conversion tables to help you with almost any Imperial/Metric emergency! They were in 4 point font and frankly, cumbersome to use. We’ll keep one here for posterity, but time has marched on and there are faster and easier ways.
Enter our new unit conversion calculator! Enter the units you have and it will give you the conversion in the units you want.
