Size Grade Number

Size Grade Number (SGN) is the measurement of granule size in millimeters. For machines with spinner height of 182 cm (72 in.) from ground, spread widths increase 3.5-4 m (10-15 ft.) with a 100 rpm increase in spinner speed.

A product’s SGN will affect spread width. Knowing the SGN will help determine correct spinner speed for a chosen product.
