Evaluation of the quality of the spray treatment in terms of average degree of coverage and coverage unevenness coefficient

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of driving speed and liquid pressure on the average coverage rate and unevenness coefficient using selected standard and air induction flat fan nozzles. The study was conducted using a spraying device that functioned like a self-propelled sprayer. Based on the test results, it was found that the highest average coverage was obtained for single standard flat fan nozzles. On the other hand, greater uniformity was observed with standard nozzles at 0.4 MPa.

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of driving speed and liquid pressure on the average coverage rate and unevenness coefficient using selected standard and air induction flat fan nozzles. The study was conducted using a spraying device that functioned like a self-propelled sprayer. Based on the test results, it was found that the highest average coverage was obtained for single standard flat fan nozzles. On the other hand, greater uniformity was observed with standard nozzles at 0.4 MPa.
