High Pressure Coulter Injection System Nozzle Calibration
Work sheet
AT2000
Task Procedures Illustrations
Calibration of these systems involves two separate sets of calculations. The rst being a procedure of setting rate and the second being a procedure of
obtaining system pressure.
FIRST: These systems utilize a positive-displacement, ground-driven, piston pump to establish the GPA (gallon per acre) rate. Because the pump is ground-driven, this rate will be very
consistent provided you do not exceed the pumps capacity or
pressure ratings (120 PSI Maximum).
SECOND: The injection system nozzles are what determine system
operation pressure at a particular ow rate and ground speed. Because the system requires nozzle pressure in the 60 PSI to 120 PSI range to inject fertilizer into the soil properly, it
becomes necessary to size the nozzle correctly to maintain
this 60-120 PSI optimum operating pressure at various speeds. In effect, the operating speed is limited by the range of pressure necessary for proper injection system operation. Remember that nozzle size has no affect on rate, only system operating
pressure.
High Pressure Injection System Pump Calibration Work sheet
Step 1: Rate Calculation (gallons per acre)
Actual pounds of nitrogen per acre desired percent of nitrogen in solution equals pounds of solution per
acre Actual N % of N = lbs. solution per acre
Examples:
100 lbs. of actual N desired .28 (% of N in solution) = 357 lbs. per acre 100 lbs. of actual N desired .32 (% of N in solution) = 312 lbs. per acre
Step 2: Pounds per acre of solution weight per gallon of solution equal GPA (GPA= gallons per acre of solution)
lbs. solution per acre weight per gallon = GPA
Examples:
357 lbs. of 28% N solution 10.65 lbs. per gallon = 33.5 GPA 312 lbs. of 32% N solution 11.4 lbs. per gallon = 27.37 GPA
Step 3: Use the John Blue, pump setting, slide-rule chart. The standard BLU-JET sprocket combination is 18 to 50.

Step 4: Loaded Radius:
We recommend using a loaded radius of 10” for the standard
BLU-JET tire drive wheel when used with the John Blue
LM 4450 pump. Add 1/2” to the loaded radius if soil builds up on the small tire in wet
conditions.

Step 5: Swath width is the number of rows being applied (Example: A 15 row 30” machine will cover 16 rows.) times the spacing between the rows.
Rows x Spacing = Swath width
16 rows x 30” = 480” (swath width)
Step 6: Example:
1. Using the chart, align loaded radius (10”) with 18 to 50 sprocket
combination setting.
2. Using the chart, align swath width (480”) with arrow under
sprocket ratio.
3. Using the chart, GPA rate (LM 4450) pump) from step 2 above
will align with correct pump setting.
Once the correct pump setting has been obtained from the pump calibration
work sheet it becomes necessary to select a nozzle size that will result in a
system operating pressure that falls within the recommended range of 60 PSI to 120 PSI. It is important to remember that GPA rate will not be affected by
changing nozzle sizes. The only way the GPA rate will change is if you change pump settings. A gauge is provided to double check calculations and monitor pressure during operation.
To simplify calibration we supplied a chart based on 28% nitrogen solution in 30” row spacings.
Example: Using the 30” spacing chart, with 7 MPH as the target operating speed and 115 lbs. N/acre as the target rate; you can see that nozzle size 4916-95 will produce 80 PSI @ 7 MPH. Also if you look under the 8 MPH column you will see that this nozzle size will produce 100 PSI.
It is recommended that a mid-range pressure of 80 to 100 PSI is used to allow for speed variances in eld operation, if possible.
It is recommended that the stream stabilizer nozzle inserts always be used
with these nozzles to improve the solid-stream characteristics of the spray
pattern and consequently the injection and over spray reduction charac-
teristics of nozzle. These stainless steel nozzle orices are commercially
available almost everywhere and there are several sizes available between
those on our chart if needed. It is recommended that a ne line (80 mesh) stainer be used on extremely
low rate applications to prevent plugging nozzles.
