After initial calibration within 10%, what is the final target tolerance?

• A. 5%
• B. 10%
• C. 15%
• D. 20%

Answer: (A)

Achieving precise application starts with tightening the tolerance after the initial check. Once you’ve calibrated and are within 10%, the final target tolerance is 5%. That means the actual spray rate should fall within plus or minus 5% of the target when you’re done dialing in. For example, if the target rate is 1.0 gallon per thousand square feet, the acceptable range is 0.95 to 1.05 GPTSF. This tighter tolerance helps ensure uniform coverage, accurate label rates, and reduces the risk of under- or over-application. The looser options (10%, 15%, 20%) don’t provide the same level of precision.
