All those variables need to be considered and if any one of them is different then the calibration will change.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06753881835886502768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084584149711998592.post-32961099504558681912009-11-12T23:34:25.075-05:002009-11-12T23:34:25.075-05:00This is one of the most thorough descriptions of c...This is one of the most thorough descriptions of calibration I have seen. <br /><br />I would add a couple of caveats:<br /><br />The calibration calculation is for one specific set of circumstances.<br /><br />this product<br />these nozzles<br />this pressure of the pump<br />this speed of the engine (turning the pump).<br /><br />If any of these change, recalibrate.Andrew Greesshttp://www.qspray.com/ag_spray_rigs.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084584149711998592.post-31572940360228232662009-11-11T22:51:20.024-05:002009-11-11T22:51:20.024-05:00Mike

We met a mechanic at Muskoka Lakes Country Club in Ontario who developed a spray rig pressure gauge (with the help of "Spray Wray" Mason - his dealer in the area. We filmed it for TNTV and the segment is on our Tips and Tricks channel. <br /><br />Thanks, too for showcasing the Perspectives on Paspalum panel discussion video. We were thrilled to work with the Stacie Zinn and the folks at Environmental Turf to help them take this one day seminar online in so many innovative ways. <br /><br />-Jon Kiger, TurfNetJon Kigerhttp://www.turfnet.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084584149711998592.post-78022094522280976282009-11-11T16:39:56.707-05:002009-11-11T16:39:56.707-05:00"The accelerator must be fixed.

With the accelerator fixed going up hill you may need additional throttle to keep speed (RPMs) constant, is that correct?Michael Vogt, CGCShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01105362472523401017noreply@blogger.com
