  Pressure compensating drip line specifIcations
 
 
Construction: The A1 Drip line is an extruded, thick wall tubing with an inside diameter of .540" and an outside diameter of .630", with a wall thickness of .45". Molded pressure compensating emitters welded inside with nominal flow rates of .63 and 1.07 gph. It is self flushing, resistant to plugging ,and impregnated with Vinyzene, an antimicrobial additive to decrease fungal and bacterial growth within the dripper line, even under waste water conditions.
The dripper is of a cylindrical style, to reduce friction loss. The dripper and the diaphragm are molded in one piece construction from flexible elostimetic rubber. The dripper flow path depth is .039" and flow path width is .039", with a flow path length of 1.9".
Operation: Each dripper has the ability to regulate outflow independently with an inlet working pressure range of 15 - 40 psi. At a constant outflow rate, the manufacturer's coefficient of variation (CV) is .04 for both 1.07 and .63 gph. Minimum pressure at the last dripper should not drop below 15 psi to ensure the proper function of the self flushing mode. The drip line is available in 12", 18", 24", 30" and 36" spacings between drippers and coil length of 100, 200, 500' and 1000'.
