Liquid Flow Rate (GPM) Formula

To calculate the liquid gallon per minute flow rate that is required to select the appropriate liquid control valve and flow meter, use the following formula:

Boom Width x Ground Speed x Application Rate (GPA) x 0.00202

Adjust the cells to calculate the GPM Flow

NH₃ Flow Rate (lbs/hour) Formula

To calculate NH₃ flow rate (lbs/hour), use the following formula:

Implement Width x Ground Speed x Application Rate (lbs/NH₃ per acre) x 0.1212

Adjust the cells to calculate the lbs/Hour
