Drip irrigation tape: Are you familiar with the specific functional advantages of drip irrigation tape?
Release Date:
2020-09-08
Drip irrigation tape is a critical component of drip irrigation systems. It delivers water and essential nutrients to the root zone of crops in a uniform, slow, and precise manner—drop by drop—by connecting low-pressure pipeline networks to emitters installed along the lateral lines, all in accordance with the crops’ water requirements. Below, Runtian Water-Saving Equipment provides a detailed overview of the specific functions and advantages of drip irrigation tape.

Runtian Water-Saving Equipment Reminder: Specific Functional Advantages of Drip Irrigation Hoses and Flexible Tapes
1. The drip irrigation hose and tape are flat when there is no water or pressure, whereas the pipe remains cylindrical in the absence of water.
2. Drip irrigation tapes typically feature internally embedded, flat, low-profile emitters, whereas pipe-type drip irrigation systems with internally embedded cylindrical emitters also provide flow stabilization, whether using drip pipes or drip tapes.
3. Drip irrigation tapes are typically used for subsurface drip irrigation of maize, cotton, and potatoes, as well as for subsurface drip irrigation of vegetables in greenhouses and plastic tunnels.
4. Drip irrigation tapes have a shorter service life than drip irrigation pipes.
5. Drip irrigation tape has lower initial investment costs, whereas drip emitters require a higher upfront investment.
6. The drip emitter on the flexible drip irrigation tape has a flow rate of approximately 2 L/hour, while the drip emitter on the main drip irrigation pipe has a flow rate of 2.2–3 L/hour.
