ABSTRACT: The study
aimed to evaluate the effect of operating parameters of the sprinkler Super 10,
manufactured by NaanDanJain, with green, yellow and blue nozzles on the
hydraulic characterization, so that this information can contribute to a better
dimensioning of systems and management of irrigated areas. For the
determination of UC and UD the radial method was used and with the aid of
computer application CATCH 3D the overlapping of water slides with ten spacings
was calculated. The results demonstrate that the mechanism used for the fractionation
of the water jet of sprinkler Super 10 is efficient because it presented good
uniformity of water distribution and low amplitude of precipitation. For high
uniformity of distribution of water in the larger wetting radii, it is
recommended to work with Super 10 sprinkler using the green nozzle, with a
pressure of 40 mH2O and spacing between sprinklers and lateral lines
12 × 12 m.
