				is an aqueous solution of anhydrous ammonia generally containing from 18 to 30
				percent of ammonia (NH3) by weight and having a vapor
				pressure usually varying from 0 to 10 psig at 104 degrees Fahrenheit (F). Aqua
				ammonia may be handled in free-vented nurse and applicator tanks provided the
				time between filling and application into the ground is held to a minimum.
				Freezing point of a 25 percent aqua ammonia solution is approximately -67
				degrees F. while higher percentages will have lower freezing points. Specific
				gravity usually ranges from .89 to about .93 depending upon temperature and
				concentration.
2) Low pressure
				nitrogen fertilizer solution is an aqueous solution of ammonia nitrate and/or
				urea and/or sodium nitrate and/or other nitrogen carriers, containing various
				quantities of free ammonia exceeding 2 percent by weight. Vapor pressure
				usually ranges from 0 to 30 psig at 104 degrees F. although for direct
				application the range is usually from 0 to less than 20 psig. These solutions
				shall be stored in pressure-vented tanks equipped with safety pressure relief
				and vacuum relief valves. Application and nurse tank equipment may be free
				vented for some of these solutions provided the time between filling and
				application is held to a minimum. Saturation temperature usually ranges from
				below -40 degrees F. to +65 degrees F. Specific gravity usually varies from
				0.90 to
				1.20.

Surface area = Total outside surface area of container in
				  square feet. When the surface area is not stamped on the name plate or when the
				  marking is not legible, the area can be calculated by using one of the
				  following formulas:
a) Cylindrical
				container with hemispherical heads area = (overall length in feet times outside
				diameter in feet times 3.1416)
b)
				Cylindrical container with semi-ellipsoidal heads. Area = (overall length in
				feet plus 0.3 outside diameter in feet) times diameter in feet times
				3.1416.
c) Spherical Container.
				Area = Outside diameter in feet squared times 3.1416
Flow Rate SCFM Air = cubic feet per minute of air required at
				  standard conditions, 60 degrees F. and atmospheric pressure (14.7 psia).
The rate of discharge may be interpolated for intermediate
				  values of surface area. For container with total outside surface area greater
				  than 2,000 sq. ft., the required flow rate can be calculated using the formula,
				  Flow Rate SCFM Air = 22.11 A degrees .82, where A= outside surface area of the
				  container in square feet.
