FORMULAS
Precipitation Rate (inches/hour)
= 96.25 x Total GPM
Total Area (sq ft)
Application Rate
R = Q x T = 450GPM x Time
A Acres
R = inches
Q = flow rate (acre inches per hour) = 450GPM
T = running time
A = area covered in acres
Number of Rolls of Drip Tape Needed Per Field
522720″ ÷ Bed Center (in.) x Total Acres ÷ Roll Length (in.) = Total Rolls
Drip Tape GPM Per Acre
522720″ ÷ Bed Center (in.) ÷ 100 x Tape Flow Rate per 100′ (e.g.: 0.67) = GPM per Acre
