Detailed Calculation Breakdown

Emitters
2,666.67 emitters
Depth (mm)
4 mm
System Flow
5.33 m³/hr

Calculation Methodology

Total Emitters = Area (m²) / (Row Spacing * Emitter Spacing). System Flow (m³/hr) = (Total Emitters * Emitter L/hr) / 1000. Application Depth (mm) = Total Liters / Field Area (m²).
