You first need to consider how to design sprinkler system. First, you must consider the flow rate and pressure. Next, choose the location of your sprinklers and select the control valves—these steps ensure that your sprinklers do the job correctly. Finally, enjoy our new sprinkler system!
Calculate flow rate
In determining the correct number of sprinklers to install, it is helpful to know the flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM) and cubic meters per hour (m3/h). The calculation is based on the area inside the spacing between sprinklers and the average precipitation rate in inches per hour and cubic meters per hour. Sprinklers are typically placed in a circle to minimize overlapping.
You can measure this with the k-factor formula, which can be found online. It is essential to understand that the flow rate of a sprinkler head depends on the amount of pressure it is applied at. …
