How To Choose Your Irrigation PVC Pipes
i. Water pressure.
The pressure at which water will flow within. For instance, a farmer whose water flow is gravitational will use the lowest gauge, which is PN6. Another grower using a water pump will use a thicker pipe that withstands the pump pressure. The greater the pressure from the water pump, the thicker the pipe is.
ii. External exposure.
Some growers opt to lay pipes on the surface, but most use them while buried underneath the surface. The farmer will use thicker pipes that withstand the risk of mechanical damage, and prolonged exposure to UV radiation. The latter will use PVC pipes of lower thickness because the pipes have very low exposure to mechanical damage, and are not exposed to the sun’s degrading UV radiation. HDPE pipes are best for surface laying
