LPX SEED TREATER
FLOW METER CALIBRATION
7. Take the flow meter reading that was previously noted and divide it by the actual
liquid application rate. This number will give you the calibration factor that the flow
meter reading will need to be adjusted by.
EXAMPLE: Flow meter reading = 54 Oz./min
Actual liquid application rate = 55.16 Oz./min
Calibration factor = 54 / 55.16 = 0.9790
The calibration factor is 0.9790
8. In order to find the flow meter reading that is needed for accurate application of the
liquid, you must now multiply the calibration factor by the desired application rate.
EXAMPLE: Calibration factor = 0.9790
Desired flow rate = 54 Oz./min
Flow meter reading for accurate application = 0.9790 x 54 = 52.87
52.87 Oz./min is the rate that the flow meter should read to
ensure proper flow is being achieved.
9. Now you can set the pump dial so that the flow meter will read the rate that is
needed to ensure the accurate flow of liquids being applied to the seed.
