How To Pick Proper Pipe Size For Irrigation - 1.5 CEU's:IA, APLD, PLANET Landscape Industry Certified
Presented by: Dr. Ramesh Kumar, Professor of Landscape Irrigation Science Program at Cal Poly University, Pomona CA
Wednesday October 12 - 9:30 - 11:00 AM
Course Description:
Proper pipe size for Irrigation is very important for proper performance of sprinklers and drip emitters. Small diameter pipes are cheaper in cost compared to larger sizes but also have higher friction losses. This can result in reduction in pressure at base of sprinklers and drip emitters.
This presentation will focus on ?EUR??,,????'?????<????????Velocity Method?EUR??,,????'?????<???????? of pipe sizing which can give a ?EUR??,,????'?????<????????good?EUR??,,????'?????<???????? compromise between cost of pipe and friction loss. This method can result in having varying pipe sizes for both main line and lateral lines.
