Taking the Irritation out of Irrigation

HydraulicsMy plants are getting irrigated, so I’m all set, right?
• Hydraulics – study of behavior of fluids at
rest (static) and in motion (dynamic)
• Relationships between flow (gpm), velocity
(fps), and pressure (psi)
• Crucial to determine pressure losses in
pipe, fittings, valves, etc.
Hydraulics Static Pressure – water at rest
• Created by elevation change or pump
• A column of water 1 ft high = 0.433 psi
• Every 1 ft elevation change = change of
0.433 psi
• Pushing water up hill, subtract 0.433 psi
• Water going downhill, add 0.433 psi
• Always find static psi losses or gains first
• Then dynamic psi losses due to movement
• Friction loss occurs due to turbulence
created by moving water
• 4 factors affect friction losses in pipe
Dynamic Pressure – water in motion
1. Velocity – 5fps in PE / PVC; 7fps in metal
2. Inside Diameter (i.d.) – smaller creates
more psi loss due to increased turbulence
3. Roughness – “C” rating of pipe
4. Length

PSI Loss Per 100 Feet of Pipe
Shaded area represents velocities over 5 fps.
Use with caution.
Funny pipe – don’t use too much!
Controllers• Types of controllers:
1. Electromechanical
2. Hybrid
3. Central Control
4. Hydraulic (water tubes instead of wire)
• Tech. constantly changing; stay up-to-date
Valves• Used b/c not enough water to run
everything at one time
• Open & close by signal from controller
• Valves buried under ground in plastic valve
boxes – USE THEM
Valves – Two Types1. Hydraulic, Normally Open
• Small water tube from controller to valve• Water under pressure = valve closed• Controller allows psi to drop = valve
open• Good for dirty water systems• Hole in tube = valve stays on
3
2. Electric, Normally Closed:
• Controller sends ≈ 24V to solenoid on
valve – lifts plunger off to open port.
• Water psi on top of diaphragm drops –
valve opens
• Wire problems = valve won’t open
Valves – Two Types
Pipe• PVC (main & laterals)
• Rigid, installed by trenching• Slip fittings; primer + “glue”
Pipe• Polyethylene (small mains & laterals)
• Flexible, installed with a puller• Barbed fittings; clamps
Copper – Service line; plumber install?

Spray Patterns (Arcs)• Full circle (360°)
• Half circle (180°)– edges, borders, etc.
• Quarter circle (90°)
• Variable Arc Nozzles (VANs) - 1º to 360º
• Rotors – use those that allow arc
adjustments
• Standard – 30º to 40º above
horizontal
• Low or flat – 10º to 15º
• High – Greater than 40º
Spray Patterns (Trajectories)
• 75% DU = excellent; 60% DU = good
• 30 psi – optimum psi for most heads
• High PR (1 – 2.5”/hr); use short cycles
• Strip nozzles – narrow turf strips
• Flood heads – small spaces, single plants
• Nozzles easily interchanged
Fixed / Sprays
• Fixed Nozzles = 15’ to 17’ max radius
Fixed / Sprays
• Rotating Nozzles = 8’ to 30’ radius
Fixed or Rotor?• 80% DU = excellent; 70% DU = good
• Mid-size Rotor = 15’ to 30’ radius
• Rotor = 25’ to 40’ radius

• Drip, micro sprays,
bubblers
• FILTERS!
Micro Irrigation Distribution Curves
A = 314 ft2 (6%)B = 942 ft2 (19%)C = 1571 ft2 (31%)D = 2199 ft2 (44%)
Overlap Determination• Most heads have triangular shaped distribution
curves
• Head to Head = Even distribution of water (DU) & balanced precipitation rates (PR)
Overlap Determination• Manufacturer specs = max allowable spacing
• This is a reference number only
• It applies to dead calm situations & should not be
used in an actual design
• Always anticipate a minimum 4 MPH wind when
spacing heads
Overlap Determination• You can increase or decrease spacing of fixed
heads 1 foot and rotors by 3 feet
• Distribution uniformity (DU) – goal when
performing head layout in design
• Don’t want wet or dry spots
6
Precipitation Rates
• PR - speed at which an amount of water is
applied
• Used to estimate run times
• Used to prevent wet or dry areas
• If not known – usually over watering occurs
Precipitation Rates• Rates vary according to sprinkler type:
Precipitation Rates• High PR = runoff on soils with low IR
• Use shorter cycles
• Total run time limited by total GPM
available at the source
• Low PR systems cost less:
• Fewer valves per acre
• Fewer controller stations per acre
• Water supply is 30 GPM
• 2 zones @ 15 min ea
• 1 zone @ 30 min
• Distribution Uniformity (DU) measures how evenly water is applied
• Sprinkler designed to operate well at a given radius• Adjust too much = DU reduced = dry spots• PR is avg amount of water over an area• Does not account for DU
Radius Adjustment and DU• Fixed Spray Heads:
• Adjustment screw changes radius and
internally changes GPM
Adjustment screw
radius and GPM are adjusted here, before water leaves the nozzle
Radius Adjustment and DU
7
• Rotors and Impact Heads:
• Adjustment screw, flap, or pin externally
disrupts spray radius w/o change in GPM
Radius Adjustment and DU• NEVER reduce radius of spray on rotors to less
than 75% of manufacturer’s radius• Example: 33 ft. x 75% = 24.75 ft.

4 Steps of Head Layout
1. Block off into geometric shapes by types of heads
to be used
2. Start in corners
3. Work along the edges
4. Fill in the middle
Block off into geometric shapes
Zoning Rules – “Like With Like”• Flow limits maximum zone size
• Physical dimensions
• Shrubs & turf = different water needs
• Sun & shade areas = different water needs
• Fewest zones possible to minimize costs
9
• Rotors with Rotors
• Fixed with Fixed
• Drip with Drip
• Easier to design and schedule
• Better calculations for water distribution,
precipitation rates, etc.
Zoning Rules – “Like With Like”
• Runoff on sloped vs. flat areas
• PSI loss on sloped vs. flat areas

Winterization Tips• Usually by Nov 1st
• BFPD most critical:
• Exposed to elements
• Leave valve at 45º
• Fully open or closed allows moisture
accumulation
Winterization Tips• Blowing out system:
• Compressed air
• Never exceed 60 psi – damage or melt
• Close BFPD – don’t forget 45º afterwards
• Farthest zone 1st
• Never more than 5 minutes = melt rotors
