After installing nozzle screens, why should you check the rate of output?

• A. Because the spray volume must match the tank size
• B. To verify the color of the spray
• C. Using a different screen could change the flow rate
• D. Because the nozzle screens are always the same

Answer: (C)

When you install nozzle screens, you’re adding a new restriction in the liquid path. That extra restriction can change how much spray water actually flows through each nozzle at the same pressure and speed, which means the output rate can shift. Different mesh sizes or screen designs can slow the flow or alter how the spray behaves, so you need to re-check the actual rate to make sure you’re applying the labeled amount. This keeps your application accurate, consistent, and within label requirements.

The other options don’t fit because the value of checking rate isn’t about matching tank size, nor about color of the spray, and nozzle screens can vary in design—so assuming they’re all the same isn’t correct.
