About the SpotOn® SC-2 and SC-5 Digital Flow Calibrators

The SC-2 and SC-5 are designed to measure sprayer flow rates quickly and accurately, helping farmers maximize the efficiency of their operations.

The SpotOn® Sprayer Calibrator Model SC-2 is compact and user-friendly, it's ideal for flow rates below 2.25 GPM typical of herbicide and insecticide application. With readings in about 10 seconds per tip, it automatically calculates and displays tip flow rate in GPM, LPM, oz/min, tip wear in %, and application rate in GPA/LPH (just enter your speed and nozzle spacing).

The SpotOn® SC-5 Universal Flow Meter is suited for quickly and accurately checking water flow from nozzles, faucets, sprayers, and showers up to 5 GPM.

Both models enable operators to calibrate their sprayers more efficiently, reducing waste and ensuring that chemicals are applied evenly and at the right rates, which supports both cost-saving and environmental sustainability.
