Metrics in Weed Control

Conversion Factors Common to Weed Control

(ha) Hectares = Acres X 0.405

(kPa) Kilo Pascals = Pounds per square inch x 6.9

(km/h) Kilometers per hour = Miles per hour x 1.61

Bench Marks

16 hectares = 40 acres

64 hectares = 160 acres

200 kilo Pascals = 29 pounds per square inch

250 kilo Pascals = 36 pounds per square inch

275 kilo Pascals = 40 pounds per square inch

300 kilo Pascals = 43 pounds per square inch

4.8 km/h = 3 mph

6.4 km/h = 4 mph

8.0 km/h = 5 mph

9.5 km/h = 6 mph

1 gallon per acre = 9.35 liters per hectare

1 mile = 5,280 feet = 1,610 meters = 1.61 kilometers

Pressure
1 foot lift of water = 0.433 pound pressure per square inch (psi)

1 pound pressure per square inch will lift water 2.31 feet

1 atmosphere = 760 millimeters of mercury; 14.7 pounds; 33.9 feet of water

1 pound per square inch (psi) = 0.070 kg/cm² or 6.895 kPa (kilopascal)

Useful Formulas

GPM = GPA x MPH x W*

(Per Nozzle) 5,940

GPA = 5,940 x GPM (Per Nozzle)

MPH x W*

*W – Nozzle spacing (in boom spraying) or spray swath (in boomless spraying); in inches.
