nozzle spacing the number on the meter gpm

I get 8.3 g/a if the digital readout is in the right units.

8.3 GPA if your meter is reading .14 GPM. (theoretically 8.316 GPA if you want to get picky).

When I calibrated our sprayer I had a chart that told us to drive 204 feet for 20" nozzle spacing (1/128 of an acre) and recorded the time it took, averaged over a couple passes with about half tank of water and spraying at the pressure and speed I wanted, then when stopped I caught one nozzle spray output for the allotted time in a measuring device, whatever the oz. are is the GPA I'm using. I recorded the time in my sprayer log book so any time I want I can check output, change nozzles and see the GPA for new nozzles, etc. for that pressure and speed. Paul

That’s what my numbers come up as to but In real life going off acres in the field and gallons it’s about 25 gpm actual

Your brain is working much faster than mine, I have to do this saturday, might ask you for advice.

That seems like a big difference to me. When I ran my test course, then went to the field, it came out almost right on (within a gal or two). I figured that was pretty good given I'm looking at the markings on the tank for how much I have in it.(no sight tube on this one).

I can’t help you my acres and my gallons show 25 gpa but the meter shows 8...
