Today, due to the water crisis and the increasing progress of technology and the trend of farmers towards new irrigation systems to increase crop yield and prevent wastage of agricultural water, as well as the correct use and better management of the farm, farmers are starting to use pressurized irrigation systems.
Considering the properties and advantages of using polyethylene pipes and fittings in modern farm irrigation systems, this product has been able to be a suitable alternative to other alloys.
Types of irrigation systems under pressure:
- Classic rain irrigation
- Mechanized rain irrigation
- linear irrigation
- Galtan irrigation (Wilmo)
- Central rotary irrigation system (centripute)
- Reel irrigation system
- Drip irrigation systems
The main specifications for the use of HDPE polyethylene pipes and fittings include:
- The working pressure of polyethylene pipes and fittings is between 2.5-4-6-10 atmospheres
- Threaded and welded connections
- The Hazen-Williams coefficient of polyethylene pipes is 140
- High diversity in the size of polyethylene pipes and fittings
- Applications of polyethylene pipes and fittings in agriculture include:
- Using polyethylene pipes and fittings to equip farms with modern irrigation systems
- Using polyethylene pipes and fittings for drip irrigation of gardens
- The use of polyethylene pipes and fittings in greenhouses
- Using polyethylene pipes and fittings in fish farms
