Microdrip Total Emitter Flow
Use this microdrip total emitter flow tool when you have measured values for emitters, lph each. It applies a transparent mathematical relationship to those values to return an answer in L/hour. Unlike a prediction or recommendation, this is a calculation from your inputs. Real emitter flow may vary with pressure and slope. Enter a different scenario to see how this particular quantity changes; check the assumptions before using it in a project.
How to use this calculator
- Use exact measurements and consistent units for emitters, lph each.
- Enter each quantity; blank, nonnumeric and out-of-range inputs are not accepted.
- Compare the reported L/hour quantity against your own data and the limitations below.
Formula for Microdrip Total Emitter Flow
L/hour = emitters*lph_each. Inputs are expressed in the units shown by the labels.
- This uses a direct garden relationship and does not retrieve remote data, forecasts or individual account information.
- Real emitter flow may vary with pressure and slope.
Worked examples
Worked example — Microdrip Total Emitter Flow
Enter Emitters = 110, Lph each = 2.2.
Apply emitters*lph_each.
Calculated value: approximately 242 L/hour.
Understanding the result
The example produces about 242 L/hour; this is a mathematical output for the example inputs, not an observed result for your project.
Real emitter flow may vary with pressure and slope.
Important notes
Real emitter flow may vary with pressure and slope.
Use values from the same measurement period or physical system. The result is in L/hour and is not a guarantee of capacity, safety, ranking or revenue.
