Flat drip irrigation pipes allow for crop irrigation over longer distances compared to round drip pipes. They typically have thinner wall thicknesses and flat drippers.
In recent years, the use of flat drip pipes has become widespread in our country, especially for large and long fields due to their lower installation costs and the advantage of flow uniformity. These pipes are available in diameters of 17 and 22 mm, with water drip rates of 1.6 and 2.2 liters per hour, and wall thicknesses ranging from 6 mils to 24 mils.
