The developed resource allows droplet size data, regardless of their source, to be appropriately normalized and used in this industry-leading program. sprays droplet size spray application atomization droplet size distribution 24 PESTICIDE FORMULATION AND DELIVERY SYSTEMS...

... of these atomization studies showed that there were significant differences in droplet spectra between the spray solutions and from the different air velocities. Based on the time to complete the tests, the author suggest using a ±5 % standard deviation values as criteria for accepting atomization tests results...

... Five water soluble fluorescent tracers, (Rhodamine WT, Tinopal CBS-X, Eosin OJ, Brilliant Sulphaflavine, and Uvitex EC), and one non-ionic adjuvant, Induce, were studied to determine their effects upon atomization. The solutions were sprayed through an XR8004VS fan nozzle tip at 276 kPa (40 psi...

... In an attempt to implement safe and reliable electrostatic charging of agricultural sprays, a conductive charging system based on conventional hydraulic spray booms and existing pesticide formulations is being developed. Atomization measurements showed that in general, the drop size...

... surfactants were atomized in a 58 m/s (131 mph) airstream using a D6-46 nozzle at 45 degrees down and back. Dv0.5, DvO.1 decreased with increasing surfactant concentration and % volume < 150μm increased. Significant differences between surfactants were detected. atomization pesticides droplet...

... The nozzle-atomizer on most agricultural pesticide applications must perform two basic functions. First, the spray liquid must be atomized or broken up into small drops for dispersal to plant surfaces, and secondly, the amount of liquid discharged must be controlled or metered to obtain...

... applicators, some of which require oil instead of water as the pesticide diluent. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of different concentrations of Ambush 2E, Capture 2E, and Asana XL, mixed with Terra Prime Oil II, on the droplet spectra produced by an electrostatic atomizer. Each...

...-stripping regime of liquid-jet atomization. It was found that the loss of droplets as a result of vaporization had a marked effect on drop-size measurements. A scattered-light scanner was used to measure Sauter mean diameters, with diameters as small as 5 μm, which were inversely proportional...

...) voltage and frequency shift are examined in this context. Two flows are considered: (1) a turbulent free jet to assess velocity measurement and (2) a spray produced by an air blast atomizer to assess size and volume flux measurements. The results from the jet indicate that, in low turbulence flows...
