Résumé:
The accomplishment of perfomance tests in new and/or equipment has to be a
constant and undelayable work of professional involved in localized irrigation. The main
purpose of equipments trials used in localized irrigation system consiste of ordering its
hydraulics chacacteristics and its performance analysis.
In order to provide subsidies to the proper measurement of microsprinkling irrigation
plan, it was developed a search in laboratory and fieldwork circumstances, in area belonged
to Laboratorio de Engenharia de Irrigacao e Drenagem da Universidade Federal da Paraiba,
in order to appraise the perfomance of NAAN 7110 microsprinkler. in fieldwork, it was
worked with the air speed in the strips 0-2, 2-4, 4 - 6 and 6-8 km/h
The aim of the tests is to determine the following parameters: Coefficient of
Fabrication Variation, equation which determines the rate pression-flow, the real average
wetted diameter in laboratory and fieldwork, uniformity of water distribution in laboratory
and fieldwork, efficienty of water application in laboratory and fieldwork
The microsprinkler pattern appraised has an excelent manufacture uniformity, with a
Coefficient of Fabrication Variation Uniformity (CVF) equal to 0,0049. The model that
chacacterized the microsprinkler NAAN 7110 rate pression-flow was the potencial kind
which equation was (Q = 2,4854 * h °-5235) with 0,99 determination coefficient;
In the conditions that the tests were fulfilled, there were no difference between the
average wetted diameter, in laboratory (5,7 m) and fieldwork (5,7 m). The real wetted
diameter, however, was bigger in fieldwork (5,7 m) than in laboratory (4,5 m). The
Coefficient of Uniformity gained seemed low, 32,8 for laboratory and 36,8 and 38,5 for
fieldwork, respectively.
There were no wind influence in the coefficient of distribution in the studied
conditions. The wind velocity and evaporation infuenced in water appication efficiency peremitter. The higher efficiency value found 92% was to range of wind velocity of 0 - 2 km/h
and the lower was 37% to wind velocity to range of 6 - 8 km/h.
