Spray Angle Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Spray Angle Calculator and its working principles

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the height of your nozzle above the ground in meters (m).
  2. Enter the horizontal distance from your nozzle to the target in meters (m).
  3. Optionally, enter the nozzle angle (in degrees) if you want to calculate the required spray angle for a specific nozzle setup.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the spray angle and horizontal distance.
  5. The calculator will display the resulting spray angle and the horizontal distance from the nozzle to the target.

Working Principle

This calculator uses basic trigonometry to determine the spray angle needed for a given nozzle height and distance from target. The formula is based on the right triangle formed by the nozzle, the target, and the point where the spray hits the ground.

Applications

This calculator can be used in various scenarios:

  • Agriculture: Determining the optimal spray angle for crop protection
  • Industrial cleaning: Calculating nozzle positioning for efficient cleaning
  • Water features: Designing water喷洒 systems for fountains or sprinklers
  • Coating applications: Ensuring uniform coverage in industrial processes

Important Notes

The calculator assumes a flat surface and does not account for factors such as wind resistance, nozzle nozzle pattern, or liquid properties. For precise applications, consult with an expert or refer to manufacturer specifications.
