Nitrogen x Swath Feet x MPH x.1212 = Nitrogen in One Hour Example: Lbs. of Nitrogen per Acre = 100 Swath Width in Feet = 30 Tractor Speed (MPH) = x 30 x 5 x.1212 = 1818 lbs. per hour This will be the dial setting at 100# tank pressure in a normal fitting arrangement (12 feet hose x hose valve x 1" QDC x 3' of 1" hose). Basic Formula - Pounds of Product: 1 Acre = 16.5' x 2640' (1/2 mile) TRAILER/SPREADER CAPACITY Cubic Feet x Product Weight (to find what equipment will haul) Cubic Feet x Weight of Product 2000 (ton) Example: 38 1/2' Trailer = 1323 Cubic Feet (heaped) 1323 x 46# (Urea) = (ton) = Ton Capacity 434

12 FEI, Inc. Valves Emergency Shutoff NH3 Snappy Joe Emergency Shutoff Valves for Bulk Plants - Snappy Joe type N551 emergency shutoff valves are designed for in-line installations, usually near a bulkhead. The valves provide a means of shutting off gas in the event of a hose rupture or piping break at the transfer area to avoid a large scale loss of LP gas or NH3. The valves can be manually opened and closed at the installed location or closed remotely by either cable or air. A remote operating actuator is also available. High Flow Capacity The main poppet moves completely out of the flow stream for extremely low restriction to flow. Fertilizer - NH3 Operational Ease Moving the operating lever to the vertical position opens the valve, making it simple to tell if the unit is open or closed. A pilot valve in the poppet opens as the lever is moved upward to pressurize the hose. Once equalized, the poppet moves quickly to the open position. The valve is closed by simply pushing the lever down without first having to trip a latch. The operating lever is easily reached from across a bulkhead. All sizes look similar and operate exactly the same, an important point in an emergency situation. Type P164B a release assembly that uses 50 feet (15 meters) of cable housing which does not require elaborate guiding like uncovered cables. Pneumatic Operation Remote pneumatic closure is available with type P327D release. Depending upon valve inlet pressure, a minimum supply pressure of 30 to 70 psig (2,1 to 4,8 bar) on the P327D allows the valve to be latched in the open position with manual closure possible at the valve. Loss of supply pressure to the cylinder permits the ESV to close. Air, nitrogen or CO2 can be used for the cylinder supply source. Maximum inlet pressure to the cylinder is 125 psig (8,6 bar). Operating temperature range -40º F to 212º F (-40º C to 100º C). Type 539 pneumatic actuator permits opening and closing of the N550 Snappy Joe emergency shutoff valves (ESVs) both at the valve with the use of a pneumatic four way valve and from a remote location. The actuator opens the valve when pressure is applied. Minimum pressure is 20 psig (1,4 bar) and maximum pressure is 30 psig (2,1 bar). Upon loss of pressure, the N550 closes, assisted by the spring in the pneumatic actuator. Snappy Joe Emergency Shutoff Valves for Railroad Tank Cars - Snappy Joe type N562 Emergency Shut off Valves (ESVs) are designed for railcar protection and attach to the shutoff valves on railroad tank cars (refer to installation drawing). Typically three N562s are used two on the liquid lines and one on the vapor line. NFPA 58 regulations call for ESV protection on both sides of the transfer hose or piping. Pneumatically operated, the valve is opened and closed by means of a standard quick disconnect coupling (furnished). Approximately 20 to 60 psig (1,4 to 4,1 bar) is needed to open the valve, depending upon tank car pressure. 128
