BS 6356-5 is an international standard that covers tank nominal volume and filling hole diameter, enabling uniformity of spray, safety and efficiency in spraying applications for increased crop yields.
BS 6356-5 specifies values for the nominal volume of tanks and dimensions of the filling hole of agricultural sprayers.
BS 6356-5 applies to hand-held, mounted, trailed self-propelled equipment with tanks without overpressure for crop protection.
BS 6356-5 also gives indications for scale between marks for the contents gauge.
BS 6356-5 on tank nominal volume and filling hole diameter applies to:
The nominal volume of the tank is the volume of the tank when filled to the brim. A filling hole is a hole through which the tank is filled. It will vary depending on the litres capacity of the tank.
BS 6356-5 provides users guidance on specifications for hand-held, mounted, and trailed or self-propelled sprayers for the basis of nominal volume of tank, diameter of filling hole and contents gauge scale between two marks, enabling the standardization dimensions for tank and filling holes.
With obedience and compliance to BS 6356-5, users can design and develop spraying equipment for crop protection, ensuring stable operations, uniform spraying and durability in crop protection applications.
