Liquid Flow Control Valves Agriculture
Driven by reliable DICKEY-john-manufactured motor actuators
Choose from:
- 3/8-3 in. sizes for liquid flow control of 0.80 to 600 gpm
- Stainless steel ball valves from 3/8-1 in. for flow control of 0.80 to 80 gpm
- 2 or 3 in. butterfly valves for control of 220 to 600 gpm
Use the following information to help you choose the right flow control valve for your equipment.
LIQUID FLOW RATE FORMULA
To calculate liquid flow rates (gpm) so you can pick the correct Flow Control Valve for your application, use the following formula:
Width x speed x application rate (gpa) x 0.00202 = gpm
Example: 60 ft. x 15 mph x 20 gpa x 0.00202 = 36.36 gpm
| Valve Size | Flow Rate |
|---|---|
| 1/2 in. | 20 gpm |
| 3/4 in. | 45 gpm |
| 1 in. | 80 gpm |
| 2 in. | 220 gpm |
| 3 in. | 600 gpm |
