10. Continue:
If an 8" valve is replaced the 12", what will be the new total head loss?

11. Lateral Pipes
A lateral pipe is characterized by a continuous decline in water discharge along the pipe. The flow rate starts at Qu (m3/h) at the upstream end and ends up with a q1 (m3/h) downstream. (Lateral pipe is abide by: 1. A same size of pipe, 2. even distance between outlets, 3. a same outlet (sprinkler or emitter) flow rate.
The calculation of the head loss is done in two steps:
The head loss is calculated by assuming the pipe is plain
The outcome is multiplied by the coefficient F
Qu = n*q 3q 2q q D Sl
95 m

12. Coefficient F
1. F1 to be used when the distance from the lateral inlet to the first outlet is Sl meters.
2. F2 to be used when the first outlet is near the lateral inlet.
3. F3 to be used when the distance from the lateral inlet to the first outlet is Sl/2 meters.

13. Characteristics of a Lateral pipe
The sprinkler pressure along the lateral pipe decline faster along the first 40% of the length than afterwards (figure 2).
The sprinkler flow rate along the lateral pipe declines faster along the first 40% of the length (figure 1).
The location of the sprinkler (or emitter) with the average pressure and flow rate is 40% away from the lateral’s inlet.
Three quarter of the lateral head loss takes place along the first two fifth sections (40%).

15. Fig. 2: Head loss and percent of head loss

19. Head loss Calculation Along lateral
Select a suitable sprinkler or emitter with a required Hs, qs and sl from a catalogue (figure 3).
The number of sprinklers (n) along the lateral is determined by (L/sl).
The discharge rate at the lateral inlet is determined by (Qu = n x qs ).
The lateral diameter (D) should comply with maximum head loss of 20%.
The head loss along a lateral (Qu, q, D and L) is computed by:
Assuming the lateral pipe is plain and.
The outcome is multiplied by F factor.

25. Example:
A flat field, 360 x 360 m, is irrigated with a hand moved aluminum lateral pipe (C = 140). The water source to the lateral pipe is from a sub-main, which crosses the center of the field. The selected sprinklers are Naan 233/92 with a nozzle size of 4.5 mm, pressure of 25 m (hs) and flow rate (qs) of 1.44 m3/hr. The space between the sprinklers is 12 meters apart, and the location of the first sprinkler is 6 meters away from lateral inlet. The riser height is 0.8 m and diameter of 3/4".

26. Answer: lateral 360 m Submain
The number of sprinklers on the lateral is
The length of the lateral (l) is
l = (14 sprinkler x 12 m apart) + 6 m = 174 meters

27. Continue The inlet flow rate of the lateral is
Qu = 15 (sprinklers) x 1.44 m3/h = 21.6 m3/h
The maximum allowed head loss (20%) throughout the field is
For a plain 2" aluminum pipe - the hydraulic gradient out of Hazen Williams is: J = ‰

28. Continue: The head loss in a 2" (plain) aluminum pipe is as follows:
The F factor for 15 sprinklers is F15 = 0.363
For a 3" aluminum pipe - the hydraulic gradient out of a table or ruler is: J = 26.2‰

29. Continue: The head loss in a 3" (plain) aluminum pipe is as follows:
The F factor for 15 sprinklers is F15 = 0.363
The difference = 3.34 meters head loss which will be used as the head loss for the sub- main pipe.

30. A Lateral Inlet Pressure3q 2q D Sl
Qu = n*q

31. A Lateral Inlet Pressure
The pressure head at the lateral inlet (hu) is determined by:
hu - lateral inlet pressure head
hs - pressure head of selected sprinkler
hf - head loss along lateral
riser – the length (height) of the riser
- local head loss (incurred between laleral pipe and sprinkler)

32. Local head loss

Local head loss m

33. Example: Following the previous example, what is the inlet pressure?
hf = 1.66 meters
riser height = 0.8 meters
hs = 25 meters

34. Inlet pressure in case of a Lateral pipe Laid out on a Slop
The inlet pressure of a lateral pipe which laid out along a slope is as follows:
hu the lateral inlet pressure
hs pressure head of selected sprinkler
hf head loss along lateral
riser - riser height
- adjustment for an upward slope
- adjustment for an downward slope

35. Example:
Following the previous example, but this time with: a. 2% downward slope, or b. 2% upward slope.
The difference elevation between the two ends is as follows:
a. 2% downward slope

36. Cont. The pressure by the last sprinkler is as follows:
The head loss between lateral inlet and last sprinkler is:

37. Cont.

P=28.5m
Sub-main
28.5 – 25.3 m = 3.2 m is taken place along the sub-main pipe.
Therefore, the pressure at the head of the field is 28.5 m.

38. Continue: b. 2% upward slope
The total head loss throughout the lateral pipe is:
5.14 meters are just the permitted 20% head loss. Therefore, nothing is left for the sub-main. In this case, pressure regulators should be installed in every lateral inlets or selecting a wider pipe.

39. Maximum Permitted Head loss

40. Distribution of water and pressure

41. “The 20% rule”
In order to maintain up to 10% difference in flow rate between sprinklers or emitter within a sub-plot, then the pressure difference inside the plot should be less than 20%. or
Q - flow rate
C – coefficient, which depends on a nozzle type
A - cross section area of a nozzle
H - pressure head
X - exponent which depends on the flow pattern.

53. Example for a micro sprinklers
A polyethylene lateral pipe, grade 4, has 10 micro-sprinklers at 10 meters apart, while the first is only one half way. The flow rate of the selected sprinkler is qs = 120 l/h at hs = 20 meters. The riser’s height is 0.15 meter (can be ignored). What is the required pipe for the lateral pipe?

hs=20m

54. Continue: n = 10 micro-sprinklers
length (L) = (9 sprinkler x 10 m) + 5 m = 95 meters
F10 = 0.384

55. Continue: The maximum allowable in the field is as follows:
For a 20 mm polyethylene pipe grade 4 (ID mm), the hydraulic gradient found out of a slide ruler or monograph Q = 1.2 m3/h is J = 18.5%.
6.74 meters is exceeding the allowable 4 meters (20%)

56. Continue:
The hydraulic gradient for a 25 mm P.E. pipe (ID 21.2 mm) and Q = 1.2 m3/h is J = 5.8%.
The head loss of 2.1 meters is less than the allowable 4 m (20%). The maximum allowed head loss along the manifold is 4 m m = 1.9 meters.

57. Continue:
The required pressure by the lateral inlet pipe is as follows:

58. Design an Irrigation System
Option 1 - The rule of 20% is applied to all the outlets (either sprinklers or drips) on the same subplot. Any excess pressure over 20% between the subplots is controlled by flow pressure regulators.
 P=< 20%

59. Lay out of drip line without pressure regulator

60. Drip line inlet without pressure regulator

61. Design an Irrigation System
Option 2 - The rule of 20% is applied to a single lateral, and pressure regulators control the pressure difference between the laterals.
 P =< 20%

62. Inlet with pressure regulator

63. Design an Irrigation System
Option 3 - The difference pressure along a lateral pipe exceeds the 20% head loss by any desired amount, and the excess pressure should be reduced by pressure or flow regulators in each emitters or sprinklers.
 P > 20%

64. Example:
Ten micro-sprinklers are installed along a plastic lateral pipe (grade 4) at 10 m (32.8 ft) apart (the first sprinkler is 5 meters). The flow rate of the selected sprinkler is qs = 120 l/h (0.5 GPM), at a pressure of hs = 20 meters. The riser height is m (which can be ignored). What is the appropriate lateral pipe diameter, if the field is designed and abided by options 1, 2 and 3?
n = 10, L = 95 m F10 =0.384

65. Continue:
Option 1:
For 20 mm - The hydraulic gradient For a 20 mm P.E. pipe and Q = 1.2 m3/h is J = 18.5%.
6.72 meters exceed the allowable 4 meters (20%)

66. Continue:
For 25 mm - The hydraulic gradient For a 25 mm P.E. pipe and Q = 1.2 m3/h is J = 5.8%.
The head loss difference = 1.89 m, which is available for the manifold head loss.
The inlet lateral pressure is:

67. Continue:
Option 2:
If the allowable pressure variation along the lateral pipe is 4 meters, then 25 mm P.E. pipe is too much and 20 mm pipe too small. Therefore, a combination of the two pipes can be used.
The design procedure for the combined lateral pipe is:
Try first D = 25 mm along 35 meters (n = 4) and D = 20 mm along 60 meters (n = 6)

68. Continue:
Compute the head loss for a pipe D = 25, L = 95 m, n = 10 and Q = 1.2 m3/h (from previous calculation which it was found 2.11 m)
Compute the head loss for D = 25, L = 60 m, n = 6 and F6 = 0.458

69. Continue:
From a table or a slide ruler - the hydraulic gradient for D = 25 mm and Q = 0.72 is J = 2.4%.
The head loss for D = 25 mm and 35 meter long with four sprinklers is
2.11 m = 1.47 meter
L = 35 m
h = h95 – h60
L = 60 m
h = 0.64
L = 95 m
h = 2.11 mm

70. Continue:
Compute the head loss in D = 20 mm, L = 60 meters, n = 6 and F6 = and
From tables or a slide ruler the hydraulic gradient for D = 20 mm and Q = 0.72 is J = 7.6%.

71. Continue:
The total head loss along the combined 25 and 20 mm lateral is as follows:
Since 3.5 m is too less than 4.0 meters. Therefore, it is possible to try a shorter 25 mm pipe with a length of 25 m and n = 3 and a longer 20 mm diameter pipe along 70 m and n = 7. The previous procedure should be repeated. The new head loss is 4.5 meters, which exceeds the limit of 4 meters - (20% rule).

72. Continue:
The lateral inlet pressure requirement is as follows:

73. Continue:
Option 3:
The lateral pipe is design either with flow or pressure regulators in every - sprinkler. The laterals diameter can be reduced to 20 mm or even further to 16 mm.
In case of 20 mm diameter pipe, the head loss is meters (see Option 1). Therefore, the pressure requirement at the last lateral inlet is:
The lateral inlet pressure - the entire head loss is added to the required sprinkler pressure.

74. Example:
A manifold was installed along the center of a rectangular field (100 x 100 m). The lateral pipes were hooked up to the two sides of the manifold pipe. The difference in elevation between the center and the end of the field is 2 meters (either positive or negative). Each lateral pipe has eight l/hr micro-sprinklers at 6 meters apart and the pressure (hs) is 25 meters. What is the required diameter of the lateral pipess, if the system is designed and abides by option 1?

75. Answer:
The lateral's head loss along the two sides of the manifold should be close enough (in away that the total head loss due to the difference in elevation and friction on both sides of the manifold should be almost the same). 6m
100 m
4% slope

76. Continue:
The maximum head loss between the sprinklers throughout the field is:
For a 20 mm (ID = 16.6 mm) lateral pipe on the two sides:
n = 8 F8 = 0.394
L = (7 sprinklers x 6 m) + 3 m = 45 m

77. Continue:
The hydraulic gradient for Q = 0.96 m3/hr and D = 20 mm (ID = 16.6 mm) is J = %
The inlet pressure on the downward slope lateral is:

78. Continue: The pressure by the last sprinkler is
The pressure difference between the two ends is

79. Continue: The inlet pressure by the lateral upward is:
The pressure by the last sprinkler is
The head loss along the upward lateral is
27.65 m m = 4.25 m, which is less than 5 m - 20% rule

80. Continue:
The pressure requirement for the upward laterals inlet is m and for downward laterals inlet is only 25.6 m.
The head loss along the upward laterals is 4.25 m, almost all the permitted 20% (5 m). Therefore either:
the upward lateral will be increased to 25 mm or more,
the manifold can be reallocated to a higher position.
(or pressure regulators should be installed by the lateral inlets,)

81. Continue:
When 20 mm lateral pipes are in used, the values of hu for both sides of the manifold vary by = 2.05 m .
To avoid this difference (hu) in the pressure, the upward 20 mm laterals can be replaced by 25 mm. The inlet pressure (hu) for 25 mm is 26.5 m. Therefore, the the difference inlet pressure for both sides of the manifold will be less, only = 0.8 m.
Less expensive alternative is by reallocating the manifold away from the center of the field to a higher point. That way, 6 sprinklers will be on the upward side and 10 sprinklers on the downward laterals.

82. Continue: Downward laterals:
D = 20 mm n = 10 L = (9 sprinkler x 6 m) + 3 m = 57 m
Q = 1.2 m3/hr F10 =  J = 18.5%

83. Continue: The difference elevation is as follows:
The pressure at the lateral inlet is as follows:

84. Continue: The pressure head by the last lateral sprinkler is
The head loss along the downward lateral is

85. Continue: Upward laterals:
n = 6 F6 = L = (5 sprinklers x 6) + 3 = 33 m Q = 0.72 m3/hr D=20 mm (ID=16.6mm)  J = 7.6%
The elevation difference is for a slope of 4% is:

86. Continue: The pressure head at the lateral inlet is:
The pressure head at the last lateral sprinkler is

87. Continue: The head loss along the upward lateral is
The values of hu for both sides are 27.1 m and m which is practically the same. The maximum head loss is 2.3 m, so 2.7 meters are available as a head loss for the manifold.

88. Design of a manifold pipe
The manifold is a pipe with multiple outlets with the same space between the outlets, therefore the manifold is designed the same way as a lateral.

89. Example:
A fruit tree plot (96 x 96 m) is designed for irrigation with a solid set system. A manifold is laid throughout the center of the field. The whole plot is irrigated simultaneously. The flow rate of the selected micro-sprinkler is qs = 0.11 m3/hr at a pressure (hs) of 2.0 atmosphere. The space between the micro-sprinklers along the lateral is 8 meters (26.24 ft.) and between the laterals is 6 meters (19.68 ft.). What is the required diameter of the pipes? (The local head loss is 10% of the total head loss and is taken in account).

90. Answer:
qs=.11m3/h
Ps=20m

91. Continue: The maximum allowable pressure head variation is
The number of micro-sprinkler on every lateral is

92. Continue: F6= 0.405 L = (5 sprinklers x 8 m) + 4 m = 44 m
Q = 0.11 m3/hr x 6 sprinklers = 0.66 m3/hr
For 16 mm P.E. lateral pipe (ID = 12.8 mm)
The hydraulic gradient for 16 mm P.E. pipe (ID=12.8mm) and Q = 0.66 m3/hr is J = 22.3%

93. Continue:
The head loss along 16 mm lateral pipe (including 10% local head loss) is as follows:
4.36 m head loss exceeds the allowable 4 meter (20%). So we have to try the head loss for 20 mm P.E. lateral pipe.

94. Continue:
The hydraulic gradient for 20 mm P.E. pipe (ID = 16mm) and Q = 0.66 m3/hr is J = 6.5%
The head loss in 20-mm lateral pipe (including 10 local head loss) is

95. Continue:
1.3 m head loss is less than 4 m (20%) and can be selected as a lateral.
The lateral inlet pressure is:
The water pressure at the last micro-sprinkler on the lateral pipe is, as follows:

96. Continue: Manifold Design: The number of laterals is
F32 = L = (31 laterals x 6 m) + 3 = 93 m
Q = 32 x 0.66 = 21.1 m3/hr

97. Continue:
The hydraulic gradient for 63 mm P.E. pipe (ID = mm) and Q = 21.1 m3/hr is J = 7.2%
The head loss in 63 mm P.E. pipe (including 10% local head loss) is as follows:

98. Continue: The pressure by the manifold inlet is as follows:
The pressure by the last lateral inlet is as follows:
The maximum pressure in the entire plot is at the first lateral inlet meters (2.3 atmosphere)

99. Continue:
The minimum pressure throughout the system is at the last sprinkler on the last lateral, which is as follows:
= m
The pressure difference between the first and last sprinkler is as follows:
= 4.06 m (i.e. just above 4 meters (20%))

107. Combination of pipes

Q=180 m3/h
300 m
h=15m

108. Answer The hydraulic gradient for 160 mm (ID 150.2 mm) is: 3.4%
Therefore, the head loss for 300 m long pipe is: 10.2 m (too big pipe)
The hydraulic gradient for 140 mm (ID mm) is: 6.4%
Therefore, the head loss for 300 m long pipe is: 19.2 m (too small pipe).
Therefore, a combination of the two can make it.

The flow rate in each subplot is 21 m3/hr and the pressure requirement to the sub- main inlets is 25 meters. The interval of water supply is every three days and only one shift a day. Therefore, two subplots in each plot must be irrigated simultaneously. The main pipes are made of PVC (C = 150) and are buried 0.6 meters deep. The local head losses is up to 10% of the longitudinal head losses.
