VASCM: Anyone Know of a Good Spray Nozzle Calculator?

[Ed Muns]

Put a measurement beaker over a nozzle and time how long it takes to
accumulate one pint or one gallon of water at different pressures.  Knowing
the row length of one acre of your vines and a range of (your) tractor
speeds, you can construct a simple spreadsheet that shows gallons/acre at
different tractor speeds and at different spray pressures for your 12
nozzles.

Regards,
Ed
