The soil type will be the main factor in determining the emitter flow rate, spacing between emitters and the nominal spacing between the rows of DURA-FLOTM PC dripperline.

Design using the following chart:

Chart 1

DRIPPERLINE SELECTION CHART

Soil Type Clay Loam Sandy
Emitter Flow Rate 1/2 gph 1 gph 2 gph
Emitter Spacing 24" 18" 12"
Nominal Dripperline Spacing 20" 16" 14"
Application Rate .24"/hr .80"/hr 2.74"/hr
Time to apply 1/4" water 62 mins 19 mins 6 minutes
Time to apply 1/10" water 25 mins 8 mins 2-1/2 minutes
 

 

The above chart is intended as a guide only.  There may be unique conditions where spacing may be different. (Examples: steep slopes and large trees, etc.).
