Flow Calculator

IMPORTANT: Flow calculator will not function until meter set-up has been completed at least once.

The Flow Calculator predicts the weight of product-per-minute-per-primary and verifies the ability of the air system to achieve the application rate requirements based on this prediction. It also displays the area covered per tank based on the entered Product Rate.

NOTE: Default values are obtained from meter set-up.
