Non-Press Compensating
Non-pressure compensating emitters use a turbulent
flow action which provides greater durability and longevity along with clogging
resistance and low maintenance. Non-pressure compensating drippers will have
varying output flow at varying inlet pressures. Therefore the flow will vary
along uneven terrain, and each dripper will emit a different amount of water
depending on its location on the supply line. The pressure to a drip emitter
can vary due to the slope of the land and the length of the supply tube. If an
irrigation system is installed down a slope, there will be higher water
pressure at the bottom of the slope than at the top, and non-compensating
drippers at the bottom will emit more water than those at the top. Ideal for
vineyards and other permanent crop applications that require minimal elevation
and pressure variations. Non-pressure compensating emitters are great for gravity
irrigation systems as well as they require no pressure to work, unlike the PC
emitters.
