Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 11545 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 23, Tractors and machinery for agriculture and
forestry, Subcommittee SC 18, Irrigation and drainage equipment and systems.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 11545:2009(E)

Agricultural irrigation equipment — Centre-pivot and moving
lateral irrigation machines with sprayer or sprinkler nozzles —
Determination of uniformity of water distribution
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies an in-field method for determining the uniformity of water distribution in
the field from centre-pivot and moving lateral irrigation machines equipped with sprayer or sprinkler nozzles.
The calculation of the coefficient of uniformity is also specified.
This International Standard is applicable to agricultural irrigation machines for which the water application
device is more than 1,5 m above the soil surface and for which the water distribution from successive devices

by sprayers or sprinklers located along the pipeline
2.2
moving lateral irrigation machine
automated irrigation machine consisting of a number of self-propelled towers supporting a pipeline transverse
to the direction of travel moving in such a way that the pipeline remains generally in a straight line, traversing

3 Test conditions and equipment
3.1 Collectors
3.1.1 All collectors used for a test shall be identical and shaped such that water does not splash in or out.
The lip of the collector shall be symmetric and without depressions. The height of each collector shall be at
least twice the maximum depth of the water collected during the test, but not less than 150 mm. It shall have a
circular opening with sharp edges free from deformities. The diameter shall be at least half the height, but
shall not be less than 85 mm. To minimize measurement error, it is recommended that testers use collectors
that are as large as practicable.

ISO 11545:2009(E)
3.1.2 Place the collectors uniformly along two or more straight lines perpendicular to the direction of travel
of the machine. The maximum collector spacing within each line shall be in accordance with Table 1.
Collectors shall not be located where the sprayer or sprinkler pattern is affected by the tower structural
components.

To minimize systematic errors, collectors of adjacent lines should be offset. The offset should be 1/nth the
collector spacing, where n is the number of collector lines (see Figures 1 and 2 for collector layout detail).
Ensure that the distance between the collectors is not a multiple of the distance between the sprayers or
sprinklers. Collectors should be moved to avoid wheel tracks. Record the location of the collectors.
3.1.3 Place the lines of the collectors so that the distance between the lines is as follows.
For centre-pivot irrigation machines, locate the collectors along two or more lines extending radially from the
pivot point. Ensure that the distance between distal ends of the radial lines is no more than 50 m. Record the
spacing pattern (see Figure 1).
For moving lateral irrigation machines, locate the collectors along two or more lines parallel to the pipeline.
Ensure that the lines of the collectors extend across the effective length of the machine and are not more than
50 m apart. Record the spacing pattern (see Figure 2).
3.1.4 Locate the collectors so that obstructions, such as the crop canopy, do not interfere with the
measurement of water application. When an obstruction is higher than the elevation of the collector, but below
the water-distribution device height, maintain a horizontal unobstructed distance of at least twice the height of
the obstruction on both sides of the collector rows (see Figure 3, case A). For systems with water-distribution
devices that operate below the crop canopy height, maintain a horizontal unobstructed distance of at least
1,25 times the wetted radius of the sprayer or sprinkler on each side of the collector rows (see Figure 3,
case B).
3.1.5 The entrance portion of the collectors shall be level. When wind velocities during the test are expected
to exceed 2 m/s, the entrance of the collectors should be no more than 0,3 m above ground or crop canopy.
The discharge height of the sprayer or sprinkler shall be at least 1 m above the top of the collector. Record the
height of the sprayer or sprinkler nozzles and the entrance to the collectors.
3.2 Wind
3.2.1 Measure the wind velocity during the test period with a rotating anemometer or equivalent device.
3.2.2 Determine the wind direction, relative to the line of collectors, with a vane indicating at least eight
points of the compass.
3.2.3 Locate the equipment for measuring wind velocity at a height of 2 m and within 200 m of the test site,
in a location representative of the wind conditions at the test site.
3.2.4 Ensure that the anemometer has a threshold velocity not exceeding 0,3 m/s and is capable of
measuring the actual velocity to within ± 10 %.
3.2.5 The accuracy of the test procedure begins to decrease when the wind velocity exceeds 1 m/s. The
test should not be used as a valid measure of the uniformity or performance of a sprinkler package if the wind
velocity exceeds 5 m/s. To test at wind velocities greater than 5 m/s, the client and tester should understand

ISO 11545:2009(E)
the limitations of the test results. Measure and record the wind velocity and the direction prevailing at the
beginning and end of the test and during the test at intervals not longer than 15 min.
3.3 Evaporation
3.3.1 The test should be conducted during periods that minimize the effect of evaporation, such as at night
or during early daylight hours.
3.3.2 To minimize the effect of evaporation from collectors during the test, measure and record the volume
of water in each collector as soon as possible after the collector is no longer within the range of the water
pattern. To adjust the volume caught in each collector for evaporation loss, estimate the time during which
each collector contains water, i.e. from the time the collector is first within the range of the water pattern until
the collector volume is measured.
3.3.3 To account for evaporation from the collectors, place a minimum of three control collectors containing
the anticipated catch at the test site. Record the volume of water in each collector before and after the test
and record the time of day each collector was put in place and when it was recorded after the test. Calculate
the mean evaporation rate from the
