What measurement does OPM refer to in calibration practices?

OPM stands for Ounces per Minute, which is a measurement commonly used in calibration practices, particularly associated with the application of various substances in pest control scenarios. This measurement indicates the rate at which a liquid (such as a pesticide or herbicide) is dispensed or applied, facilitating the precise calibration of equipment to ensure accurate and effective treatment.

In aquatic pest control, maintaining the correct flow rate of products is vital for efficacy and environmental safety. Understanding this measurement helps in calculating the appropriate dosage over time, allowing for efficient and strategic application while minimizing waste and environmental impact. The calibration of equipment using OPM ensures that the pest control strategies employed are both effective and safe for the aquatic ecosystem.
