How to Choose Emitter Spacing
The benefits of closer emitter spacing are numerous but are all related to more effective water movement. By keeping emitters spaced at close intervals, water flows laterally quicker, ensuring a continued wet strip along the row.
In addition, more emitters per meter provides greater protection against crop loss if an emitter becomes blocked. When you use Rivulis® T-Tape, closer emitter spacing intervals do not need to come at an extra cost. Because Rivulis® T-Tape has emitters manufactured into the tape itself, as opposed to inserted molded emitters, there is no cost difference per meter between 10 emitters per meter and two emitters per meter for example.
The Best Strength by Far
Rivulis T-Tape is stronger and therefore easier to retrieve in the field. In addition, the seam provides an extra layer of protection to the built-in. This tape snaps instead of stretch.
15 Mil is perfect in soils where the terrain is rough and insects are a stronger threat, even small animals. Often used in double-cropping, wheat crops, gardens, asparagus and SDI applications.
T-Tape’s Clogging Resistance
With the unique feature of Rivulis® T-Tape is the high number of inlet filters each emitter contains. Every Rivulis® T-Tape emitter contains 13 to 211 inlet filters (depending on configuration).
Rivulis® T-Tape requires just 5 inlet filters open to function correctly. Not only does this provide outstanding protection in every emitter, but it also helps Rivulis® T-Tape perform in conditions where other drip lines may fail.
