Determine the retrieval rate using the sprinkler data charts, system pressure, and field

Retrieval Rate Selection Example
For this example a
4000SWB traveller
is fitted with a
Nelson SR150
sprinkler. The
Nelson SR150
will be using a
1.34 inch ring nozzle
operating at
90 psi
.
Use the above information to plan for a field using 300 foot lane spacing that needs
1.25 inches of irrigation depth.
Use example Table 1 to find the GPM you will be pumping. For this example, cross the
A )
1.34 inch ring diameter with the 90 psi operating pressure.
A 1.34 inch ring nozzle operating at 90 psi will irrigate at 405 GPM.
Next, use example Table 2 to look up the time it will take to cover one acre in minutes
B )
by crossing the GPM from step A and the 1.25 inch irrigation depth used in this
example. If the GPM from step A does not match with one of the flow rates in example
table 2, the flow rate in example Table 2 that is closest to the GPM from step A is
chosen.
A flow rate of 245 GPM with an irrigation depth of 0.75 inches
will give a time of 68 minutes.
Use example table 3 to look up the retrieve rate you need by crossing the time needed
C )
to cover 1 acre from step B with the 300 foot lane spacing.
81 minutes to cover 1 acre with a 300 foot wide lane
will give a retrieval rate of 21 inches per minute.
You must set the sprinkler up so that the 300 foot section is covered in addition to
D )
enough overlap to provide adequate watering at the edge of your field.
The following charts are to be used as a guide only. Always verify the
application amount with rain gauges to confirm that your application is
correct.
