Causes Of Drip Tape Burns

Drip irrigation tapes often suffer from burns during use, resulting in holes on the surface of the equipment. These holes will cause water leakage problems, which will cause the drip irrigation equipment to fail to operate normally. There are many reasons for the burns of drip irrigation belts. The editor analyzes the following main reasons for you:

1. When irrigating farmland with drip irrigation belt, the small water droplets attached to the equipment form a convex lens under sunlight. After the sunlight converges, when the middle point of the convergence happens to fall on the drip irrigation tape under the film, it will form a convex lens. The local high temperature will burn and melt the surface, resulting in holes and surface damage.

2. After the crops are planted with dripping water, many water droplets accumulate in and on the film. These water droplets have the function of convex lenses. Under the sunlight, the focus of the convex lens of some small water droplets happens to fall on the drip irrigation belt. When the weather is sunny or after a shower, the weather is suddenly hot, the outdoor temperature is high, and the temperature inside the film is high, the focus point of the water droplets can gather a high temperature (75 degree -160 degree ) in a short time, and the equipment is easy to melt in the focus Burns create small holes.

3. The small water droplets on the upper surface of the mulch film are easily affected by the environment such as wind, sunlight, evaporation, etc. In the environment of clear weather, high temperature, strong light and no wind, because the film is easy to gather larger water droplets, the focus is strong, It is also easy to cause a large area of burns on the equipment.

The burns caused by drip irrigation tape during use are mostly caused by the above reasons. Therefore, we should pay more attention to these three aspects when using it. When laying the equipment, keep the ground flat and bury it shallowly, so that it can be effectively Avoid burn problems.
