NC ICLB course # 11940 - 1 Irrigation CEU
NJ Landscape Irrigation Contractor- 1 CEC Water Conservation
ORLCB- 1 CEH
FNGLA-1 CEU

Instructor: Kurt Thompson

This advanced 1-hour interactive online discussion takes the irrigation designer through the cause and effect of the velocity of the water in the pipe and valve sizing in terms of the cyclical forces that affect the operational costs and sprinkler performance.
In this course we will:
1. Use the calculated worst-case surge pressure in a mainline to determine the specific velocity in a mainline to control mainline surges.
2. Select the pipe size, valve size, and other components to minimize pressure surges in mainline pipes.

Who should attend.
Any experienced irrigation designer who deals with irrigation systems that:
*The design requires long lengths of 2-inch mainline or larger.
*Wants to design in hydraulic conditions to minimize the cyclical forces that cause high maintenance costs.
*Need to be designed to maximize the life of the piping system.
