What is the application volume per 1,000 square feet based on the test area output?

• A. 6 gallons
• B. 8 gallons
• C. 10 gallons
• D. 12 gallons

Answer: (B)

When calibrating a sprayer, you determine how much liquid covers a known test area and then convert that to gallons per 1,000 square feet. The key idea is that gallons per 1,000 sq ft = (gallons used) ÷ (test area in sq ft) × 1,000. If the setup results in 8 gallons per 1,000 sq ft, the ratio of gallons to area is 0.008 gal per sq ft. For example, using 1 gallon to cover 125 sq ft gives 1 ÷ 125 × 1,000 = 8 gal per 1,000 sq ft. So the measured test-area output corresponds to 8 gallons per 1,000 sq ft, making it the correct calibration value. The other numbers would require different test-area Coverage or amounts of solution.
