Irrigation techniques - Localised irrigation systems - Terminology and data to be supplied by the manufacturer

This European Standard specifies the technical and functional characteristics that shall be indicated by manufacturers of localised irrigation systems for user information to aid them in their choice of facilities and materials.
This standard is related to others that will be drawn up for each system component (technical characteristics and test methods).
This European standard defines localised irrigation systems, characterising the various components which comprise them.

Anwendungsbereich
Die vorliegende Europäische Norm legt technische und funktionsbezogene Kennwerte fest, die von Her-
stellern von lokalen Bewässerungssystemen zur Information der Anwender angegeben werden müssen,
um ihnen eine Hilfestellung bei der Auswahl der Einrichtungen und Materialien zu geben.
Diese Norm steht in Verbindung mit weiteren zu erarbeitenden Normen für die einzelnen Systembestand-
teile (technische Kennwerte und Prüfverfahren).
In der vorliegenden Europäischen Norm werden lokale Bewässerungssysteme bestimmt und die ver-
schiedenen Bauelemente beschrieben, aus denen ein solches System aufgebaut ist.

Techniques d'irrigation - Installations avec irrigation localisée - Terminologie et informations à fournir par le fabricant

Cette Norme Européenne précise les caractéristiques techniques et fonctionnelles que le fabricant de matériel de micro-irrigation doit fournir, comme information destinée à l'utilisateur, pour l'aider dans le choix des matériels et des équipements. La présente norme est associée à d'autres normes qui seront élaborées pour chaque élément du système (caractéristiques techniques et méthodes d'essai). Cette Norme Européenne définit les systèmes de micro-irrigation et décrit les différents éléments qui les composent.

Overview

EN 13635:2001 (CEN) - Irrigation techniques - Localised irrigation systems - Terminology and data to be supplied by the manufacturer - defines the terminology and minimum manufacturer-supplied data for localised (micro) irrigation systems. The standard clarifies component definitions and specifies the technical and functional characteristics that suppliers must publish to help users, designers and buyers choose compatible, reliable irrigation facilities and materials.

Key Topics

The standard focuses on terminology and the minimum data manufacturers must supply for each system component. Key topics include:

• Definitions and scope
  • Clear terms for localised irrigation, drip and microsprinkler irrigation, chemigation, control head, laterals, submains, emitters and more.
• Emitting devices
  • Data required: model, manufacturer, material, nominal emission rate (qₙ), emission rate variation, manufacturer's coefficient of variation, nominal test pressure, working pressure range, regulation range, characteristic equation, minimum filtration and connection dimensions.
  • Types covered: in-line, on-line, integrated emitters; emitting pipes; porous tubes/tapes; microsprinklers and sprayers.
• Filtration systems
  • Hydrocyclones, sand filters, screen and disc filters: model, materials, connections, recommended flow rates, filtration surface, sand granulometry, head loss vs flow curves and backflush guidance.
• Chemigation equipment
  • Fertiliser tanks, Venturi injectors, hydraulic and electric injectors: model, materials, connections, working pressure ranges and performance characteristics.
• Other components
  • Flow and pressure regulators (direct/indirect action), pipes, valves, automatic control systems (irrigation controllers and network managers) and the minimum manufacturer information to support system design and operation.

Applications

EN 13635:2001 is practical for:

• Manufacturers preparing datasheets and technical literature for emitters, filters, injectors and controllers.
• Irrigation designers and engineers specifying components and creating reliable, compatible localised irrigation systems.
• Contractors and installers verifying product performance and selecting correct filtration, pressure regulation and chemigation components.
• Farmers and growers comparing devices (drip, porous tape, microsprinklers) using standardised data to optimize water and fertiliser application.
• Procurement and quality assurance teams requiring consistent, testable product information.

Related Standards

EN 13635:2001 is explicitly related to component-specific standards and test method documents that define technical characteristics and testing procedures for each element (emitter testing, filtration performance, etc.). These component standards complement EN 13635 by providing detailed test methods and performance criteria.
