What is BS 6356-4 - Performance limits for field spraying nozzles about?
BS 6356-4 is a standard that covers performance limits for field spraying nozzles, enabling uniform distribution of pesticides and insecticides in agricultural applications.
BS 6356-4 specifies performance limits for flat fan and hollow cone nozzles used in field spraying.
BS 6356-4 provides a diagram on spray distribution showing ideal, upper and lower limits based on the volume of spray collected in 50 mm divisions on the distribution bench.
Who is BS 6356-4 - Performance limits for field spraying nozzles for?
BS 6356-4 on performance limits for field spraying nozzles applies to:
- Manufacturers of field spraying nozzles
- Dealers and importers of field spraying nozzles
- Testing labs for field spraying nozzles
- Quality assurance services
Why should you use BS 6356-4 - Performance limits for field spraying nozzles?
In crop protection applications, a flat fan nozzle enables uniform distribution of pesticides and insecticides in flat or sheet type spray. On the other hand, hollow cone nozzles produce small and medium-size drops resembling a cone pattern with ring shape area.
BS 6356-4 provides users guidance on performance limits, including performance limit for discharge rate, performance limits for distribution of spray from flat fan nozzles, and performance limit for spray angle for flat fan nozzle, ensuring efficiency and operability in spraying applications.
With obedience and compliance to BS 6356-4, users can develop and assess the performance of the flat fan and hollow cone nozzles, ensuring uniform distribution of the spray for efficiency and performance in crop protection applications.
