For the precipitation rate for a 360 degree sprinkler, divide by 2. For the precipitation rate of a 360 degree sprinkler, divide by 2.
For more information on precipitation rates see page 105.
Data represented test results in zero wind. Adjust for local conditions. Radius may be reduced up to 25% with adjustment screw (this may alter the uniformity of spray pattern).
Optimum performance is shown in bold type.
