Boom Flow Characteristics-Boom Flow Rate vs. Pressure

NOTE: Boom flow rate is not recommended under 15 L/min (4 gpm).

NOTE: Hatched area can be obtained only with orifice valve open.

* A pressure drop occurs between the pressure sensor located on boom section shut-off valves and the nozzle tip. The larger the flow rate, the larger the pressure drop. No pressure drop occurs at very low flow rates 19 Lpm (5 gpm), but when the flow rate increases the pressure drop increases to a maximum of 62-69 kPa (.6-.7 bar) (9-10 psi) drop at 284 Lpm (75 gpm).
