Chemical Tank Active-Ingredient Dilution

Dilute a chemical tank to the target active-ingredient concentration for a broadcast application.

Active-ingredient dilution

Active-ingredient dilution is computed deterministically from the parameters encoded in this page's address, so the same inputs always produce the same result and the same OAS-XXXX verification hash.

Tank mix concentration

Tank mix concentration is computed deterministically from the parameters encoded in this page's address, so the same inputs always produce the same result and the same OAS-XXXX verification hash.

Acres covered per tank

Acres covered per tank is computed deterministically from the parameters encoded in this page's address, so the same inputs always produce the same result and the same OAS-XXXX verification hash.

Frequently asked questions

How does nozzle flow change with pressure?
Nozzle flow scales with the square root of pressure: Q = Qr·√(P/Pr). Doubling the pressure raises flow by about 41%, so a small pressure change moves the application rate noticeably.
What is the broadcast application rate formula?
GPA = 5940 · Q / (S · W), where Q is gpm per nozzle, S is travel speed in mph and W is nozzle spacing in inches. The 5940 constant folds the acre, mile and minute unit conversions.
How high should a spray boom run?
Set boom height for a 30% double overlap: H = S·(1−0.30) / (2·tan(θ/2)), where S is nozzle spacing and θ is the full fan angle. Too low and the pattern streaks; too high and drift and overlap increase.
