IRRIGATION SYSTEMS - TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS VOLUME III

Operating pressure : 3.0 to 7.0 kg/cm²


Discharge : 45.0 to 70.0 m³/hr.
Radius of throw ; 28.0 to 58.0 meter

iv. The ‘quick coupling valve’ shall be of heavy-duty cast iron body construction
with stainless steel and brass internal components. The quick coupling valve
shall have a 3” female BSP inlet and spring loaded diaphragm outlet
compatible for use with bayonet type base connection on a mating quick
coupling valve key attachment, which shall form part of the Big Gun
sprinkler.

24.3.10 Filters
A. Automatic Self-cleaning Screen Filter

Automatic Self-cleaning Screen filters shall comply with ISO 9912 – Part 3.
Automatic self-cleaning screen filter shall be provided at the pump head. Cleaning
shall be effected by hydraulically powered suction scanner automatically activated
when the pressure across the filter reaches 0.5 bar.

i. Automatic self-cleaning filter shall be specifically suitable for use with


organic contaminants. The maximum velocity through the net screen area
(excluding sieve wire area shall be 0.3 m/s. In any case the maximum
velocity through the total screen area (including sieve wire area shall be
0.9 m/s. The filter body and internal parts including flanges shall be
stainless steel. Flushing line shall be connected to the nearest surface
water drainage. If it is not possible, connection has to be made to a soak
pit.
ii. Capacity of the filter shall be 1.5 times the system capacity at 0.2 bar
maximum pressure loss. The control system shall feature a fail-safe timer
to prevent continuous flushing due to malfunction. Filter should not flush
when the irrigation system or pumps are not working.
iii. Primary stage filtration shall be performed by a one piece perforated PVC
coarse screen. Secondary stage filtration shall be provided by a stainless
steel grade 316 screen with 65 – 140 micron mesh size, according to the
requirements of the emitters downstream. Only flat screens are allowed.
iv. Filter shall be equipped with electrical control system contained in a Nema
4X enclosure, which shall regulate the filter rinse cycles and prevent the
filter from engaging in a continuous rinse. The control system shall be
microprocessor based and shall be suitable for control of up to ten (10)
filters. The system shall provide for rinse cycle activation by one of four
options: differential pressure, timer external signal or manually, and shall
include an integral rinse cycle counter which shall record the rinse cycles
activated by each method. The system shall include local alarm and
remote contacts to indicate filter malfunction.
v. Filter shall have flush valve actuator of a heavy duty construction threaded
into a brass valve body.
vi. The filter shall clean itself automatically at 2.5 bars without the need for an
external energy source.
vii. The filter shall provide uninterrupted flow and also provide filtration during
the flushing cycle.

viii. Fine screen elements shall be easily replaceable without requiring any
changes to be made in the construction of the elements of the cleaning
system or the need to remove the filter from the pipeline.
ix. Installation shall be possible in any desired position (horizontal, up-side
down, vertical or inclined.
x. Filter shall have isolation valves in the suction as well on delivery side for
easy maintenance. The controller for the filters shall be equipped with
timer and pressure differential control unit.
xi. Pressure gauges shall be connected to suction and delivery side of each
filter.

flanged and drilled to PN 16. The strainer shall be stainless steel with 1/8 inch
perforations. Working pressure should be minimum 10 bar. The basket strainer
shall be coated internally and externally with coal tar epoxy to minimum DFT 300
micron.
i. Basket strainers shall be specifically suitable for use with organic
contaminants. The maximum velocity through the net screen area
(excluding sieve wire area shall be 0.2 m/s. In any case the maximum
velocity through the total screen area (including sieve wire area shall be
0.6 m/s.
ii. Capacity of the strainer shall be 1.5 times the system capacity at 0.2 bar
maximum pressure loss.
iii. Filtration shall be provided by a stainless steel grade 316 screen with 65 –
140 micron mesh size, according to the requirements of the emitters
downstream.
iv. Screen elements shall be easily replaceable without the need of removing
the strainer from the pipeline.
v. Installation shall be possible in any desired position (horizontal, up-side
down, vertical or inclined.
vi. Strainer shall have isolation valves in the suction as well on delivery side
for easy maintenance.
vii. Pressure gauges shall be connected to suction and delivery side of each
filter.
