USDA Droplet Models

Droplet spectrum, or spray quality, is integral to aerial application. Droplets that are too small may not reach the target and could drift. Droplets that are too large may not give adequate coverage. The USDA models are an excellent starting point for applicators to choose nozzles. All CP nozzles are tested at the USDA facility to gather this valuable information, and the data collected is put into the models.

 

Once an Orifice or Tip size has been determined, enter the information into the USDA-ARS Atomization models to view the droplet spectrum data.

Models are available in Low Speed and High Speed.
