Air-Inducted Nozzle Calculator Instructions:
Input the Application Rate, Speed, and Nozzle Spacing to calculate the flow rate and see the nozzles that meet those flow rate requirements. Each colored square indicates a nozzle that will work for your requirements and shows the droplet spectrum that will be produced by that nozzle at that PSI. You can click on the droplet spectrum to see a traditional tabulation chart for that particular nozzle.

PWM Nozzle Calculator Instructions:
Select your PWM system based on the nozzle body solenoid used in your system. Input the Application Rate, Speed, Nozzle Spacing, and Duty Cycle to calculate the flow rate, and PWM system pressure drop to see the nozzles that meet those flow rate requirements. Each colored square indicates a nozzle that will work for your requirements and shows the droplet spectrum that will be produced by that nozzle at that Tip PSI.

As droplet size increases, coverage and drift potential go down. Using DualFan nozzles with larger droplets can help balance the drift reduction of larger droplets with increased coverage of the spray pattern.
Each system has different pressure drops from the Pump PSI to the Tip PSI for each nozzle size and pressure combination. We have used published data from the manufacturers to calculate these differences and give an approximation of the performance of our nozzles on these systems.
In many cases, the systems are listed by the nozzle solenoid manufacturer, and some of those systems are marketed under different names. For instance, the Case AimCommand FLEX II, New Holland/Miller Intelispray 2, and Raven Hawkeye II systems all use the same nozzle body solenoids. You should be able to identify the nozzle body solenoid by either the product label on the boom or by requesting that information from your spray rig's manufacturer.
Application rate, usually determined by the label of the product you are applying and the amount of water used as a carrying agent.
Input the cruising speed that you will be at most of the time. PWM systems will adjust the duty cycle of the solenoids depending on variations in speed.
The distance between nozzles on the spray rig.
The percentage of time that the nozzle is on. The default 75% duty cycle provides headroom for turn compensation at normal speeds where the turn radius is large. When the turn is tight, such as a field corner, you will need to slow down, and the extra headroom becomes available to compensate for the large differences in speed from one side of the boom to the other.
Note that these are commonly listed as 02, 03, 04 instead of 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, etc. The number is a description of the orifice size and flow rate. For example, an 04 nozzle flows 0.4 US gallons of water per minute (gpm) at 40 psi.

PWM Nozzle Detail Instructions:
These charts show a speed range for operating a specific size nozzle at a given pressure. The percents across the top indicate Duty Cycle, and the numbers in the body of the chart indicate the speed in miles per hour.
The droplet data on the charts provided here reflect the adjusted droplet spectrum, based on calculated nozzle pressure, and not boom pressure.
If data on the chart is not shown, it means that the selected PWM system does not have published data for this pressure range, or that it is unable to overcome the loss in pressure from the solenoid to supply the required pressure to the nozzle.
The speed in mph is shown for each of the duty cycle columns. The 75% Duty Cycle is recommended and provides the headroom required for turn compensation.
