If in a catalog a nozzle was #8003 what does that number stand for? - CORRECT
ANSWER-The last two numbers stand for the GPM (gallons per minute) that the
nozzle can put out at the pressure given in the catalog. The numbers before the
last two numbers represent that angle at which the nozzle should be set
What does GPA stand for? - CORRECT ANSWER-Gallons per acre
What does the angle of the nozzle mean fore the boom sprayer? - CORRECT
