How much pressure in PSI would it take to generate 150mph stream out of a 2 mm perfectly round orifice? And how many GPM would that equate to? Thanks for any help
At least that part of your question looks pretty straightforward. Have you tried doing the calculation? A 2mm diameter cylinder of water traveling at 150mph is what flux of water? There are a couple of unit conversions involved, but it seems pretty straightforward other than that, no?Stetson said:150mph stream out of a 2 mm perfectly round orifice?

Sorry, this makes no sense for your question that I focused on. You asked about the flow rate for a cylinder of water moving at 150m[h. The answer to that question is pretty straightforward, IMO.Stetson said:If you can come up with some numbers i would love to see them, i came up with 79.1295 MPH at 50PSI with a flow rate of 2.24GPM.
This is not my area of expertise, but if you are using a standard nozzle that you ;purchase from a manufacturer, isn't there a datasheet proving this info?Stetson said:this is on a constant pressure spray boom.

As I said, this is not my specialty, but it sure seems like the nozzle datasheets should give you that kind of information...Stetson said:I guess I am having a hard time relaying what I want to find out.
I have since found this much out,
It will take 3.33 GPM moving through a 2mm diameter orifice to reach a velocity of 150mph. What PSI would achieve this?
