🚿 Linear Move Irrigation Evaluation Calculator v1.0.2
Supporting the Irrigation System Evaluation Code of Practice
Professional Analysis with Enhanced Security & Reporting
🏡 Farm & Property Information
👨🔬 Consultant & Evaluation Details
🚜 Linear Move Equipment Information
Length of the linear move lateral
Distance end gun extends beyond lateral (leave blank if no end gun)
Machine length + end gun wetted distance
Length of field that linear move will travel
Effective length × field length ÷ 10,000
Diameter of individual sprinkler wetted pattern
Desired irrigation application depth
🌱 Soil Information
Basic infiltration rate of soil
⚡ Linear Move Speed Testing
Distance measured for speed test (usually 15-30m)
Time taken to travel test distance
Speed = Distance ÷ (Time ÷ 60)
Time to travel across entire field length
📊 System Pressure & Flow Analysis
Pressure at pump discharge
Manufacturer's specified operating pressure
Pressure at the end of the lateral
Actual measured flow rate
Manufacturer's specified flow rate
Will calculate automatically
⚡ Energy Consumption & Operating Costs
Rated power of main irrigation pump motor
Actual power consumption during operation
Cost per kilowatt-hour of electricity
Estimated annual irrigation hours
Cost per cubic metre of irrigation water
Will calculate automatically
💧 Collector Test Setup Along Lateral
