Practical farm efficiency Mass Import - autoclassified (may be erroneous) An automated single-pipe system was developed for both water conveyance and distribution to the field. The pipe has a flexible tube liner inside and is equipped with automated diverter valves. The valves direct water either through the flexible tube for conveyance to downstream pipeline sections or to the outside of the tube for distribution to the field through the pipe gates. The system is well suited for automating multiple-set gated pipe systems for both conventional and surge flow irrigation. Head loss coefficients were determined for the valves and the pipeline for both the conveyance and distribution modes. Field installation procedures are described. The cost of the single-pipe system is about 60% of that for an automated double pipe system. 1986 Article NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en https://eprints.nwisrl.ars.usda.gov/id/eprint/454/1/572.pdf Humpherys, A.S.
