Wetted diameter
*Wetted diameter at 1.5 meter height above
surface and 3.0 bar working pressure.
At least 0.5 mm/h
*The constant K and exponent X enable real flow
rate calculations at different working pressures
using the formula:
Q (l/h) = K*(P(meter)^X).

*Distribution uniformity tests under laboratory conditions,
emitter head at 1.5 meter above surface. Real flow rate
at 3.0 bar working pressure at the emitter head.
The layouts, distances, working pressures and heights-
above-surface presented in the tables above are solely for
demonstration purposes. There are countless additional
configurations for micro-emitter placement.

*For germination the CU/DU quality rankings
are higher than for other applications as
germination requires supreme uniformity.
