1.1 This test method is used to characterize the performance of pesticide spray drift reduction adjuvants with respect to spray droplet size spectra, volume of fines, and other use parameters under simulated field ground application conditions. This test method does not include any procedures to evaluate if pump shear degrades the performance of the spray drift reduction adjuvant.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
Note 1: This method uses industry-standard units. The following conversions to SI units are provided for convenience: 1 mph = 1.61 kph; 1 in = 2.54 cm; 1 gal/acre = 9.36 L/hectare.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
