IRRIGATION SYSTEMS - TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS VOLUME III

iii. The diaphragm shall free floating and controls the emission flow rate from
1 to 3 bars. The emitter shall be continuously self-cleaning. The emitter
shall have built in filtration system in the inlet barb.

iv. The emitter shall have a barbed inlet and nipple outlet to accept 4mm
micro tube. The outlet shall have a baffle to deter insect entry.

v. The coefficient of manufacturing variation shall be less than 0.05.

vi. All emitters shall be stamped with the manufacturer name, product type
and flow rate.

vii. An alternative to the above dripper is a drip emitter involving a micro-


flapping device. Range of Operating pressure: 1 - 3 bars. The emitter
material shall be U.V. protected Polyethylene body. The micro-flapping
device shall be made of elastomer (mounded silicone flow diaphragm.

D. Pressure Compensating Dripper Line (In-Line

i. The dripper line shall consists of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE


tubing with pressure compensating emitters welded to the inside surface at
selected intervals. The pressure compensating emitter shall consist of “dual
regulation” utilizing both turbulent flow labyrinth and EPDM or mounded
silicone diaphragm. Alternatively it can involve a micro-flapping mechanism
made of elastomer (mounded silicone. The dripper shall be continuously
self-cleaning and should have an inlet filter capable of being cleaned by
flushing the line. Pressure compensation shall be between 1 to 3 bars. The
coefficient of manufacturing variation must be less than 0.05 as determined
by an independent organization.

ii. The dripper line must be guaranteed against solar damage for 7 years. The
dripper line shall be able to be installed with the dripper in any orientation.
Temperature up to 60°C shall not affect the dripper flow rate. The dripper
shall have a large “water path” outlet that acts as a mechanical barrier to
root intrusion.

iii. The drip line shall have an inside diameter of 13.6 mm ± 3 % and in dripper
flow rates of 2 or 4 lph as agreed with the Engineer. Pressure compensating
dripper line spacing shall be 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 or 100 cm. Minimum 7
years continuous testing in sub-surface application by an independent
organization is required, when applicable.

iv. Pipes shall be fixed intact to the ground using heat resistant stakes at every
10 meters and an automatic flush system shall be installed at the end of the
line.

v. The maximum length of the pipe to one side shall be based on


manufacturers’ recommendation

24.3.9 Sprinklers
A. Sprinklers shall comply with ISO 7749 and ISO 8026.

B. Spray Head Pop Up Sprinkler
