System Configurations

Let's get started. First, click here to see an example of a typical Techline system configuration, shown installed on a 4" subgrade and bordered by hardscapes and reflective walled building.

Several other configurations are available. Click below to see each design.

Design Formulas

These formulas are used to design your Techline Irrigation System. Please also visit our Techline Virtual Calculator which will automatically run the calculations for you given the correct input.

Estimated Total Length of Dripperline =
Irrigated Area (square feet) x 12
_____________________________________

Minimum Dripperline Row Spacing (inches)
From General Guidelines Chart
Application Rate (Inches per Hour) =
231.1 x Dripper Flow (GPH)
_____________________________________

Dripper Spacing (inches) x Dripperline Spacing (Inches)
Number of Drippers =
Total Dripperline Length (feet) x 12
_____________________________________

Dripper Spacing (inches)
Flow per Zone =
Number of Drippers x Flow per Dripper (GPH)
_____________________________________

60
Estimated Total Zone Flow =
Step 1: Irrigated Area (square feet) x 144) divided by
(Dripper Spacing (inches) x Techline Spacing (inches)

Step 2: Multiply result times Dripper Flow (GPH)
Step 3: Divide the result by 60
