Turf-Tec Precipitation and Uniformity Gauges

NEW Design!!!

Precipitation and Uniformity Gauges can be set up in

a head to head layout or in a grid pattern. Sold in a

set of 16 large gauges and 4 small gauges for a total

of 20 gauges and 20 stainless steel support spikes.

Precipitation and Uniformity Gauges have a stainless

steel support spike and are calibrated in 10th of an

inch and millimeters. Smaller gauges are positioned

next to sprinkler heads to catch the second or third

lower stream from the nozzles.

For checking the precipitation and uniformity of the

water being delivered by each irrigation head.

Turf-Tec International is proud to introduce its re-designed

Precipitation / Uniformity Gauges. These gauges are designed to be

set up in a head to head or grid pattern to determine how much water

is applied from an irrigation system and to also show the water

coverage uniformity. They are also used in performing water audits are also excellent for

correlating sprinkler run times with actual soil infiltration readings with companion tools

like the Turf-Tec Infiltrometer. The measuring cups are made from strong plastic and the

mounting brackets are made from stainless steel for ease of use and long life. The set

consists of 16 large gauges and 4 small gauges. The small gauges are positioned closest

to the sprinklers to insure water collection from second and third stream nozzle designs.

Calibrated in inches and millimeters, there is no conversion from milliliters or volume to

inches or millimeters per hour. Just install the gauges, run the cycle and look at the

gauges.

Each set consists of 20 calibrated precipitation gauges that are spread out in a uniform

pattern between sprinkler heads. The set consists of 16 large gauges and 4 smaller gauges

as well as 20 stainless steel stands for the gauges. They are calibrated in inches and

millimeters.

FOREWORD The correct use of water is critical to quality turf. Many problems can be corrected by accurately consoling later to fill the needs of Turfgrasses. Nationwide water shortages have focused our attention on water management. The results of these concerns are turning out to be blessings. More turfgrass areas have been injured and even killed by the misuse of water. Too much water: ..... can affect deep root systems. ..... can promote uncontrollable diseases. ..... promotes scald at high temperatures.

DIRECTIONS Use the Turf Tec Infiltrometer to determine the amount of water that the soil will absorb in an hour. This is determined by inserting the cutting rings of the Infiltrometer into the turf at the center of the radius of the sprinkler throw. Fill both rings with water and start the timer for 15 minutes. When the timer rings, stop it, read the number of inches on the scale and multiply this number by four. This will give you the hourly rate that it takes for water to move down into the soil.

Grid Pattern: You can also set up the Precipitation Uniformity Gauges in a square grid pattern to determine the overall uniformity of the irrigation system simply mark the irrigation heads with flags, square off the area and place the 20 gauges in a even square pattern. Be sure the small gauges are closest to the irrigation heads. The closer the Gauge placement, the more accurate the results will be.
