The pipe irrigation system is a general term for pipelines and connecting fittings, gate valves, etc. that take water from the water source and transport and distribute it step by step to the field or water supply point. It is generally composed of the head hub, water distribution network (including ring network, tree network), sprinkler, and other parts.
Function
The main function of the pipe irrigation system is to transport water to the field for irrigation through a pressurized or non-pressurized pipeline network. This system usually includes three levels: main pipe, branch pipe, and capillary pipe. The main function is to transport and distribute irrigation water. Control facilities are installed at the inlet of each level of the pipeline to control and adjust the water flow of the pipeline.
Irrigation facilities are equivalent to field projects in the irrigation channel system. Their function is to evenly distribute irrigation water to the field and moisten the soil. The advantages of the pipe irrigation system include water-saving, fertilizer-saving, and labor-saving. In addition, since most of the pipelines are buried underground, they occupy less arable land. The closed pipeline has almost no leakage loss. The pressurized water flow is easy to cooperate with sprinkler irrigation and micro-irrigation technology, which is convenient for automatic control and pesticide application.
Application of HDPE pipe in Pipe irrigation system
HDPE pipe, that is, high-density polyethylene pipe, plays an important role in the Pipe irrigation system with its unique advantages.
1. HDPE material has good corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of most chemicals, including acid and alkali substances in the soil and microorganisms. This allows HDPE pipes to operate stably for a long time in complex and changeable farmland environments, reducing Eliminates leakage and replacement costs due to pipe corrosion.
2. HDPE pipes have small frictional resistance, which can significantly increase water flow speed, reduce energy consumption, and improve irrigation efficiency.
3. HDPE pipes are light in weight and easy to connect. Whether laying new pipes or replacing old pipes, they can greatly reduce construction difficulty and labor intensity. At the same time, their corrosion resistance and good sealing performance also reduce maintenance costs.
The application of HDPE Irrigation Pipe not only meets the basic needs of the Pipe irrigation system, such as efficient use of water resources and full irrigation of crops, but also meets the requirements of durability and stability, economy, and environmental protection. Its characteristics of low friction resistance and high compressive strength help improve water transportation efficiency and reduce water loss during transportation. At the same time, its corrosion resistance and anti-aging properties ensure the long-lasting durability of the pipeline in various harsh environments. , reducing the risk of irrigation interruptions due to pipe damage.
Features and advantages
1. Water Saving: By reducing leakage and evaporation losses, pipeline water delivery systems can significantly improve water resource utilization. Compared with traditional channel water delivery, pipeline irrigation can save about 1/3 of water resources and is an effective water-saving irrigation engineering measure.
2. Energy saving: Although pipeline irrigation may consume more water than channel water delivery, water utilization can be improved by saving water, thereby saving some water resources.
3. Improve irrigation efficiency: Pipe irrigation is carried out under a certain pressure and is usually faster than soil canal irrigation. It can provide water in a timely manner and save irrigation labor.
4. Promote agricultural production: By improving field irrigation conditions, pipeline water irrigation can shorten the irrigation cycle, meet the water demand for crop growth, and increase production and income.
5. Save land use: Pipe irrigation systems reduce the land occupied for irrigation convenience, which is especially important when land resources are limited.
