Easy Method Drip Irrigation Design

MEFADERG

I. introduction

Below is the Methodology Drip Irrigation Easy " MEFADERG " which consists of three parts :
The first is the lifting of general data of the producer and the plot , including : climate, lifting the
plot plane carrying , crop type , soil type and water source. To complete this section 1 presents the
instrument " Fto1 General Information " .
A second part , takes data from irrigation requirements based on climate data ( Eto ) and crop (Kc )
and soil data to establish the irrigation depth and irrigation depth then define net and gross ,
further including the application intensity (Ia) , sector size and flow irrigation sector . The latter is
compared with the flow from the source to analyze the viability of irrigation. For section 2 , above
the instrument is used , " Fto 2 Irrigation Requirements " .
Finally a third part consisting of the hydraulic design of drip irrigation system . For this section 3,
use the instrument , " Fto 3 Design of the pipe " . In this section we estimate the pressure drop in a
simple and practical . This uses four tables that were developed to avoid the complex hydraulic
calculations . The tables are used in the fol lowing way :

1. The design of the lateral irrigation .

After measuring its length (based on previously lifted up ) and drip tape sectioned (16mm) or PE
hose (16mm) , the table is used for drip tapes No1 and No2 for droppers Table coin type therein,
with the data flow and lateral length determines the pressure drop. Also in the manual or drip
tape , is the pressure of the issuer. Pressure drop on the side must be less than or equal to 11% of
the operating pressure , Siesto not met, should be reduced lateral length and repeat the previous
step.
Two . In the design of the distribution of PVC pipe , once known length (based on the plane ) and
the flow of the project ( Section 2 watering requirements ) which is divided by 2 , as the flow will
go to feed project s 2-line distribution pipe supplying two side blocks in one irrigation turn .
To estimate the diameter of the pipe is used p load loss ( hd ) allowable , which is 9 % of the
operating pressure dela tape , which value is divided by the factor Chistianssen Table No 4.
Chistianssen value is determined by the number of tapes (side) that connect to the distribution
tube and pipe material (180 for PVC) .

Afterward, a flow rate ( l / s) to pass through the pipe, after the table No3 , lies the most
approximate value of the desired flow rate and to the right drop seeks closest to the set value
above using the criterion ( operating Pressure ) x9 % / F ( Chistianssen ) , which is the operating
pressure and chistianssen factor described above. Once located both values in the table, it
searches the corresponding diameter vertically , thereby obtain the piping ro Dia .

The sum of the pressure loss of the distribution pipe (found ) and the pressure loss on the side,
should be less than or equal to 20% of the emitter operating pressure .

Three . For piping designed PVC piping , take into account the length (flat previously raised ) and
the flow of the project , thus , taking as criteria allowable pressure drop , which is 2 % of the length
, and flow of the project these values are located in Table No 3 , this first pair flow project located
in the first column and the right wing is looking drop , once found closest values , we look at the
rior to locate the upper pipe diameter used. Os obtenem thus the diameter of the pipe.

April . Eventually add up to 77% loss of lateral loading and distribution tubing , plus the losses in
the conduit line , the more the operating pressure , the pressure drop over the filter and
fertigation systems . These latter values are obtained from manual tape , filter and device for
fertigation. With these values the pump is selected considering their HQ performance curve .
Thus concludes the design of drip irrigation system , which is added to a bill of materials to buy.

II. target

Extension workers and farmers provide a methodology to facilitate the design of drip irrigation
systems , with the aim of contributing to a better adoption of this technology and enable optimum
use of the facility and promote the operation and maintenance of the system.

III. Section 1: General Data Survey

This section presents the instrument (Fto 1. General Information), which serves to organize in
steps, the data to be taken in the field. For removal of the same should be done first an interview
with farmers (as), then make them a field trip and finally analyze the results with the whole group.
This instrument has 18 steps presented in a table.

A. Target
Involve farmers and technicians in the design process of the irrigation system, working on tasks
such as interviews, description of soil texture in the field, lifting the sketch of the plot and the
capacity of the source.

B. Interviews
Using this technique, there is a dialogue with the farmer (s) or group, in order to understand the
data practices described in Fto 1 General Information:
 Step No1, area to irrigate
Step No2, growing interest
Step No3, crop rooting depth
Step No 18, hours that the farmer has to risks
In addition to the interview also know if the farmer (s) or group has or not, experience in growing
and operation of irrigation systems. The latter should be recorded in the space of observations is
under the table format general data collection (Fto1).
C. Field Trip.
This technique will help us achieve:

1. Ground area, Step No1

This will be done by measuring the lot in the field, will also determine the position of the control
valves and irrigation head, then draws the sketch of the plot.

2- Type of soil texture, Step No4.

Soil removal is done with an auger or blade and then made manual texture test, samples may also
be taken for laboratory, in order to make a physical and chemical analysis of the soil.

3- Supply Capacity, Step No 8.

For well water or eye:

You can use a 200-liter barrel and then measure the time it fills, to test 5 times to know the
average time in which the container is filled, then the expression:

Q = 200 / t, where:

Q is the flow rate in L / s,

200 is the vessel volume in liters. t is time measured in seconds.

In the case that the water source is a stream should be the following:
Find a stretch of the creek where the cause is as uniform as possible and for the same most of the
water flow and then:

a) Measured water depth across the width of the channel,

b) Measure the width of the channel or cause

c) Measure the span length

d) Measure the time a floating object travels the premeasured section, do this 5 times and
averaging time.

Then, suppose that in a stretch of 5 m, the floating object traverse lasted 60 seconds, now we get
the velocity by the expression:

V = L / t, where;

V is the speed in m / s

L is the length of a section of the creek

T, is the time when an object travels the stretch of the creek.

Substituting in the expression: V = 5/60 = 0.083 m / s.

Then we calculate the cross sectional area of the section of the creek, for this we will:
...
We draw on a blank page horizontal lines and vertical separation of 1cm, this will create grids of
1cm x 1cm, for this we can use a ruler to 30cm. Then the gridded area draw the different depths of
the cross section of the channel and also draw the Achura section, assigned drawing 0.5 m per 1
cm paper. At the base of the section (channel bottom) lines join the depths, to close the
perimeter, as shown in the figure below.
 Now, the sectional area is the sum of the four drculas enclosed in the perimeter of the
drawing, which are suitable co n circled numbers. In total there are 10 grid, but four of them are
incomplete, so that instead of two grids 4 grid considered complete, thus we have 8 grids, hence
the expression:
A = 8 grids x 0.25 = 2 m2, where, A is the sectional area m2.
Grids are the pictures within the perimeter of the trapezoid drawn.
2
Factor, 0.25, is in m areas, who rebukes a grid surface.

Finally, previous data we estimate the water velocity, by the formula Q = V x A x 1000, wherein;

Q is the flow rate in L / s.

V is the velocity of water in m / s
A is the sectional area of 1000 m2 channel is the factor for converting m3 to liters.
Substituting Example: Q = 2 x 0083 x 1000 = 166 L / s
D. Analysis of data collected from interviews and field.

To perform the analysis using the tool "Ft General o1.Datos" presented in this section. This
instrument is com posed of a table with 4 columns, being this: Steps, Description, Values,
instrument to use. Other support tools include: tables not G1, G2 No tables, tables No G3, G4
tables not. Support tools are used to solve different steps of the instrument "Fto1. General
Information ".

Now look at an example.

Don Ramon Sanchez, want to grow sweet pepper (sweet pepper) in sandy loam ground 0.25Mz
located in Concord, Nicaragua. He tends and a well and knows the crop management, but has
never planted under irrigation.

Such data are placed in the Fto 1. General information, which has 18 steps, the instrument is
completed with the help of auxiliary instruments as described in the "Column 4 instrument to use"
every step of the main instrument. Below is the instrument, the sample data and auxiliary data
from instruments (tables not G1, G2 No tables, tables No G3, G4 tables not.)

IV. Section 2 Calculation of irrigation requirements

A. Target

Estimate with farmers (as) crop water requirements and how to apply water to maintain proper
humidity levels in the soil for optimum crop growth.

B. Crop water requirements

This section presents the instrument "Fto2 irrigation requirements", used to organize the data and
passes to step to the calculations, in order to meet the required flow, irrigation time, irrigation
interval and laminae. These data will be used for the hydraulic design and will Necesar ios for
system operation.

The data come from the instrument to process "Fto1 General Information", which was previously
completed and is described in s ection 1 of this manual.
Now, in the first column of the instrument, "Fto2 Irrigation Requirements" describes the 10 steps,
then in the second column describes the calculations and formulas to be used, in the third column
are placed the results in each step and the fourth shows the origin of each data to be used and the
calculation procedures.

Below is step by step process to implement the instrument, and thus have a better understanding
of each step and each calculation of the instrument.

Step No. 1

1. Crop evapotranspiration (ETc)

Crop evapotranspiration water requirement is the crop, which is based on reference

evapotranspiration and crop coefficient and is given by the formula:

ETc = ETo x Kc

For our example data are from the instrument "Fto1 General Information" Step No8, Eto =
6mm/da and Step No9, Kc = 1. With these data it processes the resulting formula:

Etc = 6x1 = 6 mm / day

...

Obtained that the requirement is 6mm/da for growing pepper, the data that is located in Step
No1, the Fto2.

Step No. 2

2. Evapotranspiration dropper (ETg).

Because drip irrigation will, we must now adjust the dampening to drip irrigation, drip called
evapotranspiration (Etg), which is made by the formula:

Etg = Etc x PAR

With this method of irrigation is moistened only 50% of the surface of the culture, this is known as
percentage area irrigated (PAR). For our example, applying the formula we obtain:
Etg = 6 x 0.50 = 3mm/da, this data is recorded in Step No. 2, the Fto 2.

Step No. 3

3. Irrigation depth (Lr).

As plants take water from the soil, water requirements will be applied through irrigation, so it is
necessary to calculate the depth of water to be applied to the soil. Now we calculate the irrigation
sheet (Lr) depending on soil type and depth of crop roots, whose relationships are expressed by
the following formula:

Lr = (CC-PMP) / 100 x Pr x Da.

The values of field capacity (FC) and permanent wilting point (PMP) come from Fto 1 and
correspond to Steps No6 and No7 whose values are 10% and 4% respectively in our case. Also the
values of root depth (D) and bulk density (Da) Fto1 come from, and are shown in Steps No3 and
No5, with values of Pr = 50cm and Da = 1.4gr/ml, respectively.

In making the calculations is obtained:

Lr = (10-4) / 100x50x1.4 = 4.2 cm or 42mm.

This data is shown in Step No3 Fto2 and expresses the amount of water required to reach field
capacity (CC) required to initiate the first irrigation of a crop. Subsequently determined successive
irrigation

irrigation interval, pay back lost moisture and preventing moisture reserves reach exhaustion.

This concept gives rise to net irrigation (Ln), which sheet is used for restoring soil moisture. Such
restitution humidity equals a fraction of the irrigation requirement (Lr) can be defined as the
moisture necessary for the restoration of water a crop is consumed in a certain period of time.
Thus only allowed a certain percentage depletion of irrigation depth (Lr), and when grown
vegetables should be between 15% and 25%.

4. Print Net Irrigation (Ln).

Now we estimate the net irrigation by the expression:

Ln = Etg x Ir

In Step No2 of this format is presented dropper evapotranspiration, Etg = 3mm/da and the Fto 2
Step No13, find the watering interval, Ir = 2 days. With these values we estimate:
Ln = 3 mm / day x 2 days = 6 mm.

Thus the net irrigation depth (Ln) is 6mm, which is sufficient moisture for 2 days consumption of
the crop. Note that 6mm is about 15% of the irrigation requirement (Lr).

5. Print Gross irrigation (Lb).

Because when applied irrigation leaks, which are due to irrigation efficiency (Ef) for drip irrigation
systems is to set this value Ef = 0.90. With this data we adjust the net irrigation depth (Ln), by
calculating the gross irrigation depth considering the losses das System by the expression:

Lb = Ln / Ef.

The value for net irrigation in our ca se is according to the formula above:

Lb = 6mm/0.90 = 6.6mm.

This is the value of the water layer to apply e have the soil by irrigation, in order to restore the
capacity of the same field.

6 . Application intensity (Ia).

At this time know the irrigation raw sheet ( Lb) , whose value indicates the moisture necessary to
restore moisture and consumed by the growing environmental factors over a period of time.
However such sheet is applied through the watering system , so we need to know the intensity of
the application ( Ia) , which data is given in mm / hour).

Estimating the intensity of the application Ia ( ) is done by the expression:

Ia = qe / ( dlxde ) where QE is the flow in l / h which is applied in a superpi , which is defined by the
distance between lateral (dl) multiplied by distance between emitters (de) .

The data flow of the issuer ( qe = 1 L / h ) is purchased from Step No16 Fto1 also have Steps
therein No14 and No15 , of dond and obtain the distance between lateral ( dl = 1.5 m) and the
distance between transmitters ( from = 0.3m ) respectively in our case.

Thereby calculate: Ia = 1 / ( 1.5x0.3 ) = 2.2 mm / hour. This means that our system apply foil 2.2
mm per hour of operation gives ca .

7 . Run Time (T ) .

Now , to operate the system need to know the time required to apply the gross depth of irrigation
( Lb ) and med iante makes the expression:
T = Lb / Ia, in this way is calculated ;

T = 6.6/2.2 = 3 , from which it is concluded that the raw sheet irrigation apply in 3 hours, since the
system will provide Ia = 2.2 mm / hour. As the watering interval ( Ir) is 2 days , watering is repeated
every two days , to restore the water consumed by the crop and environmental factors that
period.

August . Irrigation sector area ( A) .

Now we know the gross depth of irrigation ( Lb ) that r equires the ground to meet the crop , we
also know the time ( T) we need to apply it and how often ( Ir) must practice irrigation operation

restore moisture. Also know what time and the farmer has to make watering operations
.However, unknown to the surface of the irrigation sector . A portion of lot area we want water in
a given period is called irrigation sector , and the number of sectors depends on the time that we
have to implement irrigation and amount of water available at a certain time to what we call flow
rate ( Q ) , a value that is expressed in L / hour, L / s or m3/hr .

9. Large projects with abundant water resources

In large irrigation projects with plenty of water availability, the number of irrigation sectors ,
depend only or available Fall Time ( td ) for irrigation operations .

So for example, if we have 6 hours per day to irrigate and water them every two days , we will
have 12 hours in total to water the whole lot. Then calculate the number of sectors of irrigation is
done with the expression.

Sectors = td x Ia / T, if we complete one irrigation at T = 3 hours as in our case , we have:

Sectors = 6 hours x 2 days / 3 hours = 4 sectors , which means that according to our available time
and the run time must divide the batch in 4 irrigation sectors of equal size.

For our example , we want to water a lot with an area of 1mz , therefore: Sector Area : 1/4 = 0.25
acres, which multiplied x 7000 = 1,750 m2 , as shown in Step No8 instrument " Fto2 irrigation
Requirements " .

This means that on the first day will be irrigated two sections of 1,750 m 2 each, three hours of
irrigation applied in each sector and the second day will water the other 2 sectors to complete the
batch of irrigation (Figure No1 ) . The hydraulic design will be based on the size of the ego ri sector
10 . Small irrigation areas with limited water resources.

In small irrigation with limited water resources, the question is rather: how much water I can
surface with the water I have ?

Therefore, we need to know how many liters of water (volume ) we get in time ( T hours) we have
for irrigation , according to a known flow rate , which could be a dug well or spring . To determine
the volume employ the following formula: Vol x 3600 x = Q T, the volume is expressed in liters , Q
in L / sec. and T in hours.

In the case of our example the run time is T = 3 hours, and if we assume a flow rate of 0.5 L
hypothetical / s , we have:

Vol = 0.5 x 3600 x 3 = 5,400 liters .

This means that in a period of 3 hours get 5,400 Lts. of water.

Now we need to know the area that can be rega r with the previous volume , for which we use the
formula: Area = Vol / Lb ;

As we know volume 5,400 liters . and Step No5 Instrument " Fto2 irrigation requirements ," we
find the sheet br irrigation uta ( Lb = 6.6mm ) , we have:

Area = 5,400 / 6.6 = 818 m 2, which is the area of the sector that can be watered with this flow in 3
hours of watering .

Knowing this fact ( area of sector ) decide pray the few sectors agricult want to handle in a day and
thus know the total area that can be irrigated. In the case of the example, the farmer decides to 6
hours a day watering , so that two sectors can irrigate 818 m 2 each. The next day you can water
at the same time other two sectors of equal area , which could irrigate a maximum of 4 sectors of
818 m with an interval of two days irrigation , the irrigation der interval value is in Step 13 , the
Instrument " Fto1 General Information " .

11. Volume in the irrigation sector .

In small irrigation systems often get first available volume and then estimate the surface irrigation
sector , but in larger systems we first estimate the number of sectors and from this value calculate
the surface irrigation sector therefore need to estimate the volume of water required to irrigate
each sector.

In the above case is used the expression:

Vol = A x Lb : where , Vol volume in liters is , A is the area ( m) and Lb is the raw sheet irrigation
mm .

For our example is A = 1,750 m2 and Lb = 6.6 , then calculate:

Vol ( L ) = 1,750 x 6.6 = 11,550 Lts.

This is the volume required to meet water demands 2 days in culture .

12. Project Flow .

Finally we calculate the flow of the project, by the expression:

Q = Vol / ( Tx3600 ), where Q is flow rate in L / s , and Vol is volume in liters , T is time in hours .

Applying the formula to our case we get:

Q = 11,550 / (3 x 3600 ) = 1.07 L / sec.

This value represents the flow needed to supply a irrigation sector and from which the pipeline
will be sized to utiliz ar .

With this example we used the instrument " Fto 2 Irrigation Requirements " and is presented
below:

shows the space to locate results and the fourth called " Instruments for Use " describes the origin
of the data and process calcul or .

1. F -3-1 : Overall

The first table named , F- 3-1 General , serves to sort the data from the instruments " Fto1 General
Information " and " REQUIRED Fto2 irrigation treatments " presented in sections 1 and 2 of this
manual. It aims to bring together in a single instrument all the data necessary for the design ,
which are located from step No 1 , to step No7 . Upon completion of the instrument F -3-1 , there
are two steps required whose values calculated , following described :

a) Number of issuers .

Estimated number of emitters by formul a: No emitters = Ll / from , where ( Ll ) is the lateral length
and (de) is the distance between transmitters . Thus, for our example we have: No = 48/0.30 = 160
emitters per lateral irrigation emitters .

b ) Number of sides.

Also one must calculate the number of sides of irrigation, which is done with the expression : No
Sides = Ld / dl , where ( Ld ) is the pipe length

distribution (dl) is the distance between side . Therefore, according to the example : No = 17/1.5 =
11 emitters irrigation side .

2. F -3-2 : Design lateral irrigation .

The instrument F -3-2 , intended to facilitate the calculation d lateral design irrigation . It describes
the operations, provides space for results and lists the procedures to be used . Also mentions
where to find the data to be used in the formulas , indicating whether they are in a manual pr
oduct in a table or required to obtain an arithmetic operation .

a) operating pressure .

Is the operating pressure of the drip tape , which usually ranges between 0.5 and 1 atm . , This
value is sought in the manufacturer's manual tape we previously selected based on soil type and
crop. In our case the tape is : Ty - tape , TSX 508-30-340 , the operating pressure is 5 mca, or about
0.5 atm .

b ) Nominal diameter of the tape.

This value is also obtained from manual tape manufacturer selected for the case study is 16mm .

c ) Design criteria .

The design criteria (cr) is estimated by the expression:

Cr = Po x 0.20 , where

Po is the operating pressure of the belt and dripping and ,

0.20 , is the pressure factor which allows the variation of the flow in the irrigation sector is 10 %
relative to the average flow .

In our example : Cr = 5mca x 0.20 = 1 mca . The design criterion expresses the maximum tolerable
pressure drop in the area of r iego , whose components are the sides ( drip tape ) and the
distribution pipe , also known as lateral slide . This implies that the sum of the pressure loss in the
lateral and in the distribution pipe must be less than or equal to the criterion set , as the present
example is 1mca .

d ) lateral design criteria irrigation .

However, the lateral design criterion (CRL) which is based on 55% of the value of the design
criteria ( Cr) should occur at the sides ( drip tape ) and the remaining 45 % must take place in the
pipe distribution and consequently gives the expression for the lateral design criterion (CRL) :

Crl = Cr ( mca ) x 0.55 , where ,

0.55 is a budget design criteria . Cr, is the hydraulic design criteria .

For our case is: Crl = 1mca x 0.55 = 0.55 mca .

The above expression means that the allowable pressure drop "Cr = 1mca " , it is accepted that 55
% is the maximum pressure drop occurs on the sides of irrigation and the remaining 45 % will be in
the distribution pipe .

e) of the lateral flow .

Par calculate this value , we need two pieces of information , the flow of the issuer and the length
of the lateral (tape). The first piece is in the instr ument "F - 3-1 , Step No. 3 " which is tape -tape
Ty , TSX 508-30-340 model whose emitter flow is 1 L / h . The following data is in the instrument "F
- 3-1 , Steps No 6 " , whose value is 48 m .

Then look at the table No1 " Hlf pressure drop ( mca ) x underground drip tape " and found in line
Ty -Tape TSX 508-30-340 , the flow is ( q = 1.02 L / h ) ; later, in the column to the right are the
lengths , where we seek the value 48m . If the value is not exact , we chose nearest 50m in this
case , to the right of this value is the data flow of the tape, which in this instance is Q = 170 L / h.
Thus we obtain the result of the "F - 3-2 , Step No 5 " .

f ) Pressure drop on the side.

Always in Table No. 1, with the result of Step No 5 , Q = 170 L / s , will be looking at the row
corresponding to flow above and then in the last column , we find the value of lost load, which for
the example is : hfl = 0.1406 mca, this value is compared with the design criteria ateral ( Crl )

g ) Evaluation of the lateral pressure drop ,

Whereas the value of lost load is ateral mca hfl = 0.1406 , a result that is less than the lateral
criterion expressed as ; 0.1406 < 0.55 , we conclude that the pressure drop on the side are
satisfactory for design.

But if the criterion is not met , re- perform the procedure with the same length reducing or
increasing the dia meter of the tape. Fig.No2 arrangement , halved lateral length or tape ,
increases twice the number of connections to the distribution pipe , while maintaining the same
flow to the irrigation sector . Hydraulically is benefic ioso because lower lateral length corresponds
to lower pressure losses , the greater the number of connections in the distribution pipe creates
less pressure drop therein.

h ) Pressure required at the origin of the lateral .

This value is obtained by the expression: = Po + 0.77xhfl Hlo Z / 2 wherein ;

Hlo , is pressure ( mca ) necessary ateral input .

Po is the pressure ( mca ) of tape operation , thatto example is Po = 5 mca .

Hfl , is the pressure drop ( MCA ) on the side, the value of the example is hfl = 0.1406 mca .
Z = 0, is the slope of the land ( m ) , our case the terrain is flat .

Like this: Hlo = 0.1406 + 5 + 0.77X 0 = 5.11 mca, value that is located in F- 3-2 , Step

Three . F -3-3 : Design of the distribution pipe PVC.

This instrument seeks to facilitate the calculations for the design of the distribution pipe and like
previous instruments , has a description of the steps , calculation result space for ado and
description of instruments used for the calculations.

a) Distribution piping design criteria .

This design criterion distribution pipe " Crd " , is obtained by subtracting the design criteria ( Cr) ,
the value of the loss of the lateral decarga ( hfl ), obtaining the following expression :

Crd = Cr- hfl where

Crd , is a criterion of distribution pipeline design .

Cr is design criterion .

Hfl , pressure loss at the sides.

Substituting values :

cr = 1mca ( F- 3-2 , Step No3 )

mca hfl = 0.1406 ( F- 3-2 , Step No6 )

We obtain :

Crd = 1-.1406 = 0.8594 mca

b ) Distribution Pipe Flow .

This step is accomplished with the following expression :

Q = No Side x Ql / 3600 .

where ;

Q , is the flow ( L / s ) of the distribution pipe .

No sides are the sides of the irrigation sector . For example 11 side (F-3 -

1: General , step No 9 )

Ql is the flow rate (L / h) or lateral irrigation drip tape . For example, 170 L / h

( F- 3 -2 : Lateral Design , step no 5 ) .

Substituting in the formula: Q = 11 x 170/3600 = 0.52 L / s.

c) Christianssen (F).

This value is a factor that estimates the effect of multiple discharge outlets in the distribution pipe
because of the connected side , that gradually causes the inlet flow in the pipe is reduced as this
progresses along thereof, the side -fed irrigation so that the end of the pipe the flow is only a
fraction of the initial flow .

The coefficient value is in the table No5 called Christianssen F values , which depends on the
number of lateral them (n ) connected and hydraulic regime ( m ), which for polyethylene (PE ) is
1.75 , for PVC is 1.80 and aluminum is 1.90.

For our example the number of side ntramos gluing it in the instrument F- 3-2 , Step No. 9 , whose
value is n = 11; also be used as PVC pipe , the hydraulic regime is m = 1.80. With these two data we
are located on the first column and look for the value 11 , then right locate the column m = 1.80 ,
at the intersection of the row with the column mentioned Christianssen find the value , which in
our example is F = 0.404 , and placed in the instrument F- 3-3 , Step No3 .
d ) Estimation of J unit loss

In this case the design criteria of the distribution pipe (Crd ) equals the pressure drop in the
distribution pipe ( Hfg ) , ie the data of step 1 No F -3-3 is the value of loss load distribution pipe as
shown below.

Crd = hfd = 0.8594 mca, step No. 1, F- 3-3 .

After Chistianssen factor as we know it is in F- 3-3 No3 step in our example is F = 0.404 , we
estimate the pressure drop per meter J , value to be used to estimate the diameter of the pipe.

Thus the pressure drop per meter ( J ) is given by the expression: J = HFD / L / F where ;

J , is the value of the load loss ( mca ) per meter of pipe .

HFD is the pressure drop along the distribution pipe , which for our example mca HFD = 0.8594 .

L is the length of the pipe, for our example is L = 17m .

J = 0.8594 / 17 / 0,404 = 0.1251 mca / m .

e) Estimate the diameter of the distribution pipe .

The diameter of the pipe will be looking at the table No 3 , for which the flow rate using step # 5,
F- 3-2 and the pressure drop per meter ( J ) , a finding that is in step no 4 (F-3 -3). In our example
the diameter of 1 inch ue f with Q = 0.50 L / s and J = 0.0213mca .

f ) Pressure drop in the distribution pipe .

Step above refers to the pressure drop per meter of pipe (J) which in our example J = 0.0213mca ,
and occurs with a diameter of 1 inch PVC pipe with a flow of 0.50 L / s, is now needed knowing the
pressure drop ( Hfd ) across the path of the pipeline, for which we must know the length of the
pipeline, data whose value is of 17m and is in the F-3 -1, Step No 6.

With the previous data and by the expression:

Hfd = J x L , where ;

J ( mca ) is the unit-load loss .

L (m ) is the length of the pipe .

Now, being that :

Hfd = 0.0213 x 17 = 0.3621 meters head . This value is located in the F- 3-3 ,

g ) Pressure drop distribution pipe taken into account the lateral outlets Hfd ' .

Now it will be necessary to multiply carg loss to the value of Christiansen, Step No. 3, F-3 -3 (F =
0.404 ) , and thus obtain the value of the load loss Hfd ' , the expression is : hfd '= Hfd x F , where
Hfd ( mca ) is the loss of load , F , is the value Christianse ; now , applying the formula to our
example, we get:
Hfd '= 0.3621 x 0.404 = 0.1463 mca, value that is located in the F-3 -3, No7 .

h ) Evaluation of Paso loss.

Finally, the result Hfd '= 0.1463 mca, compared to 0.8594 mca design criteria , because the
pressure drop of the distribution pipe is less than the criterion set , 0.1463 < 0.8584 , this result is
accepted. However if not accepted , it starts the process again by changing the diameter of the
pipe to a larger diameter.

i) Pressure at the origin of the distribution pipe

This value is estimated by the expression: = Hlo +0.77 Hdo xhfd '+ - dZ / 2, where Hdo ( mca ) is the
pressure at the origin of the distribution pipe , Hlo ( mca ) is the pressure at the source of lateral or
tape , in our example the values are: Hlo = 5.11 , hfd
( mca ) , hfd '= 0.1463 and dZ / 2 ( m ) = 0 .
Therefore: Hdo = 5.11 + 0.77 x 0.1463 = 5.22 +0 mca, this Step is located in F-3 -3, No 9.
pril. F-3-4: Design of the conduit line in PVC.

This instrument "Table F-3-4", helps to design pipelines. It describes step by step the results and
the means or aids to use.

a) intake pipe length (m)

This is obtained from the sketch or plan of the plot which in our case is 30 m. This value is located
in F-3-4, Step No 1.
Step No 2.

b) Design criteria conduction pipe (mca)

It is considered that the allowable pressure drop in the pipe line must be equal or less than 2% of
the length of the pipe or the speed is less than 2.5 m / s. Thus the pressure drop in the pipe line
will be:
Crc hfc X = L, where;
L (m) is the length of the pipe. For our case is 30 m.
Crc is design criteria driving pipe, whose value is 2% or 0.02.
hfc is the pressure drop of the drop pipe.
Substituting for our example,
hfc = 30 x 0.02 = 0.6 m, and the value is located in the F-3-4, Step No 2.

c) Pressure Drop (J) in 1 meter of pipe.

Now we must find the head loss (J) in one meter of pipe, which is done with the following
expression:
J = hfc / L where;
J, is the pressure loss in piping 1M.
hfc is the pressure drop along the pipe, in the example is 0.6mca .
L is the length of the pipe, is in this case 30m .
J = 0.60/30 = 0.02 mca, this value is located in step # 3.
Step No. 4

d ) diameter line pipe

Now , supported by the instrument table No 3a, finds the approximate value of the design flow ,
which is an instrument Fto No 2 , step # 10, the case of the example is , Q = 1.07 L / s , then the
first column of the table No 3a, select the flow rate in the example is 1.0 L / s , then right on the
line look for the value of lost load using the data from step No 3 , F- 3-4 , which in the example is J
= 0.02mca , from there , on the top of the column found the Dia ro of tunera , that our case
corresponds to PVC pipe 1 "with this diameter , the unit-load loss is 0.0116 J = mca / m , which
is the closest value to J = 0.02mca , which is the allowable pressure drop in the pipeline. This value
of the diameter PVC 1 " , is located in the F- 3-4 , Step No4 .

Step No5 .

e) Loss of cargo pipelines.

Estimating the pressure drop is achieved with the expression : Hfc = J x L , where ;
J is pressure drop per meter , step No. 4, F -3-4 , load loss corresponding to the diameter and flow
rate, which in the example is 0.0116 mca / m for a flow rate of 1 l / s and a diameter of PVC 1 "
L is the length of the intake pipe , which in our case is 30m and the data is in No1 step of this
instrument ( F- 3-4 ) .
It turns out that replacing:

Hfc = 0.0116 x 30 = 0.348 mca, value lies in step # 5.

f ) 5 . Evaluation of the pressure loss of the conduit line .

The value of the load loss Hfc , No5 step F -3-4 , compares and drinks to be less or equal to the
allowable loss , step # 2, F -3-4 , in the example the pressure drop was 0.348mca ( No5 step of this
instrument) and is less than the criterion whose value is 0.6mca ( No2 step of this ), so : 0.348 <0.6
, the result is satisfactory according to the criteria , which signific the diameter PVC 1 " is
suitable for driving.
g ) Required pressure at the exit of the head, F- 3-4 , Step No7

This value is calculated by the expression:

Hsc = Hdc + Hf , where:
Hsc is the required pressure at the exit of the head,
Hdo pressure is needed in the source distribution pipe in our example was Hdo = 5.22 mca . , F- 3-
3 pass No 9.
Hfc 's loss in the pipe conduccinpara the example is: Hf = 0.348 mca 3-4 F- step No 5.
Then replacing:
Hsc = 5.22 0348 = 5.57 mca, data that is located in the F- 3-4 , Step No 7.

5 . F- 3-5 : Losses in the head

a) Pressure drop in the filter ( mca ) .

This value comes from the accessory manual , in our case a filter rings, operating pressure 2 mca .
The datose located in the F- 3-5 , Step No 1.

b ) Pressure drop by fertigation device .

Similar to the above , the operating pressure is in the manual of the device , which in our case is a
venturi injector for operation whose pressure is 5mca . The data is placed in F- 3-5 , Step No 2.

c) 3 . Pressure drop in the valve .

The losses in valves are in Table No. 6, however, to know the value of them , we place the value of
No2 step design flow , F , 3-1 , in the first column of the table , which in our example is Q = 1.07 L /
s , then locate the group of columns that make up the type of valve area , which in our case is erta
compu valve , then in that area we move to the right on the row selected flow , to find the
diameter of the valve, which in our case is 1 " . The resulting from this operation is the load
loss value Ha = 0003. mca . This data is placed in the F- 3-5 , Step # 3.

d ) Pressure drop in head.

The loss in the irrigation head is the sum of local losses of the various accessories that make it up,
which in this case are: filter, venturi injector valve. The resulting value is mca Hoc = 7.00 3 and
represents the head loss in the sprinkler head .

e) Pressure required at the entrance of the head

Finally estimated pressure at the inlet of sprinkler head , which is done with the expression:

Hc = Hsc Hoc + + - Z , where:

Hc is the pressure required at the inlet of the head ( mca ) .
Hoc, is the pressure loss in the head , our case 7003 mca (step No4 , F-3 -5.
Hsc , is pressure head outlet 5.57 ( mca ) , step No. 7 , F- 3-4 .
Z , is the difference in ground level in case study is 0 m .
Then replacing ;
Hc = 7,003 +5.57 +0 = 12,572 mca .
June . F- 3-6 : Total manometric head .

a) Pressure drop in unit pipeline bombaal head .

In our case according to the sketch , the length of the pump to the head is 10m and we will
network segment with PVC pipe 1 "for the pipe will pass a flow of 1.07 L / s according , see the
F-3 -1, Step No2 .

Since we know the flow and diameter , now b uscamos the value of the pressure drop in Table 3a
No , locating in column flow, No2 step , F- 2-1 , with approximate value in our case 1 L / s , then
look for the diameter , step No 4 , F- 3-4 , which in our ejemp it is 1 " , from which results a value
of J = 0.0116 unit loss mca / m .

b ) Pressure drop from pump to the head , .

Hf1 then calculated by the expression:

Hf1 = J x L , where
Hf1 is the pressure drop ( mca ) centrifugal pump located at the well to the head .

J , pressure drop per meter ( mca ) , Step No1, F- 3-6 . In our case , J = 0.00116 mca / m
L is the pipe length (m). See sketch , in our case is 10m .
solving :
Hf1 = 0.0116 x 10 = 0.116 mca, this value we place on the F- 3-6 , Step No2 .
c) 3 . Total head .

This value is given by the expression :

Hm = Hc + + Hf1 -Z , where
Hm , is the total head ( mca ) .

Hc = the pressure required at the inlet of the head, step No 5 , F- 3-5 , which in our case is 12,573
mca
Hf1 = is drop the head pump , No2 step , F- 3 to 6 , in our case 0.116mca .
Z = 0 m, is the level difference .
Thus calculating: Hm = 12.573 + 0.116 = 12.689 +0 mca, approximately 12.69mca .
7 . Pump Selection F-3 -7.

This picture is the last of the instrument FTO3 , and tr ties to help select a pump , this will use the
Step No 2 , F- 3-1 , which is the flow rate ( 1.07 L / sec . ) The result is placed in step No. 1, F- 3-7 .
The total pressure , step No. 3, F- 3-6 , which in our case is ( 12.69 mca ) , is located in step No. 2,
F- 3-7 .

With these data we analyze the HQ curve present in the pump manual . In our case was a
centrifugal pump model HONDA WX10K1 laptop with suction and outlet diameter of 1 " . Notethat
for the flow rate of 1 L / s is 27 meters head pressure about 38 PSI , which indica that the pump
should be operated at half throttle or look for a smaller one. If not fertirriega height will be 7.7
meters head gauge with the same pump that produces pressure 2 L / s , so it could irrigate twice
the area w hile not fertilize .
