| Abstract/Contents: | "A study was conducted measuring the effect on distribution uniformity (DU) when increasing or decreasing the spacing between sprinkler spray nozzles. Six nozzles were tested; three models each in the 12' and 15' series throw. Each nozzle was operated on the same irrigation system. Spacing between nozzles was increased and decreased at 10%, 20%, and 30%, intervals beyond or below recommended 50% diameter of throw. Tests were conducted outdoors on an irrigation system regulated at 30 psi, when wind conditions were below 5 mph. Brands A, B and C each have optimum spacing's that improved uniformity performance when compared to other spacing's. None of the nozzles had the highest DU when operated at the recommended spacing. Each nozzle has a few distances that significantly decrease their uniformity compared to other spacings. The mean DU values for 12' nozzles were .62 and for 15' was .60." |
