Tests
- Rainfall distribution: the objective of this test is to obtain a graphical representation of the sprinkler’s water application as a function of distance.
- Flow-pressure curve: the objective is to measure flow rate across the sprinkler’s effective pressure range.
- Sprayer durability: the objective is to determine how the sprinkler’s functional characteristics vary over time.
- Effective range: the objective is to determine the distance between the most remote points at which a sprinkler applies an effective amount of water, measured in a straight line through the spray and equal numerically to twice the radius of reach.
- Flow uniformity: the objective is to determine the coefficient of variation of sprinklers to ensure that water distribution in the field will be uniform.
