apr 17, 2025
In farmland irrigation systems, the size and length of pipes directly impact efficiency and resource use. This guide offers practical tips for selecting the right pipes.
Key Points
Material Selection: Choose PE pipes for corrosion resistance, PVC for lightweight use, or stainless steel for durability.
Field Shape: Use circular layouts for round fields; combine straight pipes and hoses for irregular areas.
Water Needs: Calculate 5–10 liters per square meter daily; match pipe pressure ratings to pump capacity.
Pipe Length: Use equal-length sections for even water distribution.
Special Solutions: Add filters for debris or insulated pipes for cold climates.
