Distribution Uniformity
These figures are achieved at operating pressures of 4 bar in calm conditions at a uniform post spacings as shown of 40m on flat contour. (note: currently using 41m)
Test 2 = PF 24 with 12mm bird cage nozzle with thrusting bias.
- Sprinkler operating at 4BAR.
- Departure velocity is approximately 120 km per hour.
- Throw radius 33 meters, i.e. 66 meters diameter in calm conditions.
- Distribution uniformity (DU) at 92.65%
Average application rate = 8.98mm/hour at 4 bar.
*Distribution Uniformity Low ¼ average volume 8.32mm
Average volume 8.98mm
Distribution Uniformity 92.65%
*Calculate the Distribution Uniformity DU = Low quarter average volume ÷ average volume
