Published limit
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
For a 600-ft block of tape, the listed rate gives about 1.02 GPM at 8 psi. Check the wetted pattern where crop spacing is closer than the 16-inch emitter interval.
Example zone demand
10 rows of 100 ft each would need about 1.70 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.
