Drip irrigation
Drip tape: wall thickness, emitter spacing and flow
Relate crop, season, soil, length and pressure before requesting drip tape in Maputo or Beira.
When to use this reference
Use this reference to compare rolls with similar prices but different wall thickness, emitter spacing, flow and working pressure. The goal is to separate confirmed project facts from commercial assumptions before comparing models or requesting a quotation.
Technical checks
Wall thickness should match service life and handling; spacing and flow depend on crop and soil; diameter and length should limit pressure variation in the block. Record the source of every value and treat missing data as pending, never as a confirmed default.
- Define one or several seasons of use.
- Record soil texture and infiltration.
- Match spacing to the crop.
- Confirm fittings, filter and pressure.
