When properly used, air induction nozzles can reduce drift by at least 50%. Air induction nozzles are regarded as expensive by some growers, but their advantages outweigh the extra cost. Because they have fewer fine droplets : [...]]]> http://www.c-spray.com/drift-reducing-nozzles-venturi-nozzles.html/feed 0 http://www.c-spray.com/spraying-liquids-other-than-water.html http://www.c-spray.com/spraying-liquids-other-than-water.html#comments Mon, 04 Jul 2011 08:32:31 +0000 marielou http://www.c-spray.com/?p=1445 Fertilizers and other chemical solutions have a density different than water. Adjuvants, which are frequently added to pesticides, can alter the properties of the liquid and affect droplet size: - Surfactants reducing surface tension, make it easier to produce smaller droplets. - Oils however, increase viscosity and therefore droplet size.

Higher pressures push through more liquid than lower pressures. However, pressure alone is not terribly efficient at doing so : to double flow rate, pressure needs to increase four times. Nozzles usually work within a pressure range : operating nozzles in the [...]]]> http://www.c-spray.com/spray-pressure.html/feed 0 http://www.c-spray.com/spray-coverage.html http://www.c-spray.com/spray-coverage.html#comments Thu, 26 May 2011 17:58:45 +0000 marielou http://www.c-spray.com/?p=1364 The coverage provided by a nozzle is mainly determined by : spray angle, spray height, tip size and pressure. Spray coverage in broadcast spraying will vary based on spray height, nozzle spacing and operating pressure, thus overlap of spray patterns. Chart below gives theoretical overlap of spray patterns, as considering earth gravity, the higher the [...]]]> http://www.c-spray.com/spray-coverage.html/feed 0 http://www.c-spray.com/nozzle-types-and-spray-patterns.html http://www.c-spray.com/nozzle-types-and-spray-patterns.html#comments Thu, 26 May 2011 15:16:00 +0000 marielou http://www.c-spray.com/?p=1289 There are many types of spray nozzles and the shape of their spray pattern is the most basic distinguishing characteristic. Nozzle selection typically begins by determining the type of spray pattern required for a particular operation. Nozzles are classified by the shape of their spray pattern, but also by application or by their specific benefit, [...]]]> http://www.c-spray.com/nozzle-types-and-spray-patterns.html/feed 0 http://www.c-spray.com/nozzle-nomenclature.html http://www.c-spray.com/nozzle-nomenclature.html#comments Thu, 28 Apr 2011 09:11:34 +0000 marielou http://www.c-spray.com/?p=1236 Nozzles come in many sizes, types, and angles and work at various pressures, providing different spray angles, droplet sizes and patterns, and for each type also different flow rates. Most C-Spray nozzles are ISO color coded, with each different color corresponding to a defined flow rate.
