What Is Irrigation Flow Rate?
Irrigation flow rate is the volume of water passing a point in an irrigation system per unit time, commonly measured in gallons per minute or liters per minute.
How a Timed Volume Works
If a supply fills a 2-US-gallon container in 20 seconds, that measurement corresponds to 6 US gallons per minute. The result applies to the tested setup; hoses, fittings and connected equipment can change the available flow.
IrriSense 2 Product Context
IrriSense 2 watering reach depends on supply conditions. Flow rate helps explain water availability, while the current model manual should be used for its actual supply requirements.
Common Misunderstanding
A high closed-tap pressure does not establish adequate flow during watering. Flow rate also differs from precipitation rate, which describes applied water depth per unit time.
