Calibration

Use only Water

For a given set of circumstances - Backpack - Tip - Adjustment - User/speed/rate - Temperature

Calibration – 2 Ways

Gallons per Job Easy

Gallons per Acre Difficult

Calibration – Gallons/Acre

1. Measure out specific area, e.g., 1000 sq. ft.

2. Fill backpack w/ specific volume, 4 gallons

3. Bring backpack up to desired pressure

4. Methodically apply to area

5. Measure remaining water

Assume: - We sprayed 1 gallon for 1000 square feet

Calibration

Assume: - We sprayed 1 gallon for 1000 square feet - Product Label Rate (Pendulum) 1.3 – 1.8 oz/1000 sq. ft. Assume 1.8 oz/1000 sq. ft.

Calibration

Assume: - We sprayed 1 gallon for 1000 square feet - Product Label Rate (Pendulum) 1.3 – 1.8 oz/1000 sq. ft. Assume 1.8 oz/1000 sq. ft. 1 gallon = 1.8 oz chemical = 1.8 oz 1000 sq. ft. 1000 sq. ft. 1 gallon

Calibration

Calibration The Answer:

1.8 oz chemical/1 gallon of water 4 x 1.8 oz = 7.2 oz chemical/4 gallon backpack sprayer to cover 4000 sq. ft. FOR THE GIVEN CONDITIONS
