Broadacre nozzles<br />
Nozzle Names<br />
Names of nozzles start generally with the name of the<br />
manufacturer, for example agrotop. The first letters in<br />
a nozzle name refer to a specific type of nozzle. For<br />
example TDAM represents TurboDrop AirMix.<br />
The specific nozzle type code is followed by the<br />
spray angle that a nozzle produces. In most cases this<br />
would be 110 for a 110º angle but there are also, for<br />
example, 65, 80 or OC-codes (i.e. off-centre).<br />
The next code number represents the standard size of<br />
the nozzle. The size is determined by the spray volume<br />
that a nozzle puts out at 2.8 bar. For example, a XR<br />
TeeJet nozzle 02 size means that the nozzle puts out<br />
0.2 gallons/min (= flow rate of 0.75 L/min). A 04 sized<br />
nozzle has a flow rate of 0.4 gallons/min. Different<br />
type nozzles of the same size may produce completely<br />
different spray qualities but they will have the same<br />
flow rate per minute.<br />
Any letters behind the size-code indicate that different<br />
versions of the nozzle are available with different<br />
orifice materials. For example, VK stands for ceramic,<br />
VS for steel, VP for polymer.<br />
Nozzle name: agrotop TDAM-110-03<br />
agrotop = manufacturer<br />
TDAM = AirMix ®<br />
110 = 110° spray angle<br />
03 = size (0.3 gallons/min at 2.8 bar)<br />
Colour Coding<br />
Flat fan nozzles of the same size are colour coded to<br />
simplify recognition. For example, regardless of type,<br />
every yellow flat fan nozzle is a size 02. For assembled<br />
air-induction nozzles such as the TurboDrop the size is<br />
determined by the pre-orifice containing injector part,<br />
not the output-orifice containing nozzle cap.<br />
This colour coding also applies to angled, twin or offcentre<br />
flat fan nozzles as well as some liquid fertiliser<br />
nozzles. However, it does not apply to cone (except<br />
ALBUZ TVI and TeeJet TXB80) and FloodJet nozzles.<br />
