ABSTRACT:
By both an apparatus and a method for calibrating spray and nozzle equipment a temporary connection to such equipment is made and the flow of fluid is measured. Connection to the equipment is accomplished manually with an elastic doughnut having a progressively flaired surface and an inner sleeve. Flow is measured by a device which may be hand-held and is connected to the elastic doughnut in a flexible manner. Exiting fluid is directed by a flexible means which may be threadably attached to the apparatus by an ordinary garden hose connection.
