Description / Abstract:
This part of ISO 15886 specifies the conditions and methods used
for testing and characterizing the water distribution patterns of
irrigation sprinklers. The term sprinkler is used in this standard
in a broad generic sense and is meant to cover a wide variety of
products as classified by ISO 15886-1. The specific performance
measurements addressed include distribution uniformity, wetted
radius, and water jet trajectory height. This standard applies to
all irrigation sprinkler classifications for which these three
performance measurements are required to verify the design
objectives as defined by the manufacturer.
This part of ISO 15886 deals both with indoor and outdoor tests
and with radial and full grid tests. It is organized so as to deal
with conditions common to all tests first and then with conditions
unique to indoor testing only and finally with conditions unique to
outdoor testing only.
For any given sprinkler, a wide range of nozzle configurations,
operating conditions, and adjustments generate at least a
theoretical need for a correspondingly large number of tests.
Testing agencies and manufacturers may use interpolation techniques
to reduce the number of actual test runs provided accuracy
standards are still being met.
This part of ISO 15886 does not address the specific performance
testing required for sprinklers intended for use in frost
protection.
This part of ISO 15886 does not address the topic of drop
spectrum measurement and characterization and the related questions
of soil compaction, spray drift, evaporative losses, etc., all of
which can be considerations in the design of sprinkler irrigation
systems.
To apply this part of ISO 15886 for evaluating irrigation
coverage, all sprinklers must be identical and arranged in a fixed
repeating geometric pattern. This part of the standard does not
apply to moving systems.
This part of ISO 15886 applies to part-circle sprinklers
provided that the testing agency can satisfy questions of potential
anomalies in performance parameters.
Annex A addresses the procedures for the characterization
of sprinkler pattern uniformity. Annex B addresses testing
part-circle sprinklers.
