Level ground · 90% uniformity

Rivulis T-Tape US data sheet. The table specifies level ground and 90% uniformity. It gives 8 psi as the flow rating and leaves the run-length test inlet pressure unspecified.

What to check for this reel

Moving from 508-08-340 to this model adds 0.16 GPM per 100 ft at 8 psi. For 2,000 ft of active tape, that is 3.2 GPM more at the same nominal pressure.

Example zone demand

10 rows of 100 ft each would need about 5.00 GPM at the listed 8 psi. Check the flow available under pressure and the manufacturer’s run-length chart for your longest row and slope.
