Abstract
A computerized electronic weighing system was designed to analyze nozzle spray distribution patterns. The system was interfaced with a personal computer for rapid data processing, and a software package was developed for the computer to process the input data. Performing a complete spray distribution evaluation for a given nozzle required approximately ten minutes. Air and/or spray impact dynamics appeared to have a significant effect on variation in mass interval volume, but did not appear to significantly affect coefficient of variation results. Measured nozzle distribution and test repeatability was better for the larger size nozzles at higher pressure.
