Bullet Head Slender Agricultural Drip Irrigation Porous Alumina Ceramic Filter Tube Test Soil Moisture

Drip irrigation pipes are the core irrigation equipment of drip irrigation systems. They precisely deliver water and nutrients to the soil around the roots of crops through low-pressure pipes and emitters on the drip pipes. They are mainly used in scenarios such as field crops, orchards, greenhouses, and greening projects. It mainly consists of two water outlet methods: pressure compensation type and non-pressure compensation type, as well as two structural types: inlaid type and inter-pipe type.

Micro-porous ceramic drip irrigation pipes utilize the tiny pores of ceramic materials to slowly and continuously seep irrigation water into the soil of the crop root zone under the influence of the water flow's own gravity and the capillary force of the soil. It is usually buried to a certain depth below the surface soil and directly delivers water to the area around the crop roots through pores, achieving underground seepage irrigation.

Microporous Ceramic Irrigation Rod Introduction:

According to crop water demand rules and local water supply conditions, efficient use of precipitation and irrigation water to obtain the best comprehensive measures for agricultural, social and ecological benefits.

Compared with the traditional cotton rope, it can control and adjust the water absorption rate and water absorption speed, and the material is more environmentally friendly and the life is longer. At the same time, microporous ceramics also have the function of activating water and purifying water, which is conducive to plant growth.

Advantages of Self-absorbed ceramic Rod:

• 1.Uniform pore size and high surface areas
  
• 2.Excellent chemical resistance
  
• 3.Good wearing and erosion resistance
  
• 4.Withstands high temperature

Features of Microporous Ceramic Permeation Tube:

• 1.) Appearance neat, verticality, roundness of porous ceramic pipe is good.
  
• 2.) High porosity, big pore size, uniform distribution, volatile stability.
  
• 3.) High temperature firing, stable chemical performance

The application of porous ceramic tube in irrigation is a new trend. While improved irrigation efficiency, and environmental protection, non - toxic and harmless pollution.

Performance features:

• Stable flow rate: The flow rate of the micro-porous ceramic drip irrigation pipe will drop rapidly within the first hour and then enter a stable outflow state. When the working water head varies within the range of 0.25m to 0.75m, the stable outlet flow rate shows a significant linear positive correlation with the working water head.
• Water-saving and highly efficient: By means of underground seepage irrigation, it reduces water evaporation loss and has a high water utilization efficiency. Meanwhile, it can automatically adjust the outflow rate according to the soil moisture conditions, creating a suitable and stable soil moisture environment for the root zone of crops.
• Strong anti-clogging ability: Ceramic materials have good chemical stability and corrosion resistance, and are not easily clogged by impurities, microorganisms, etc. in water. Compared with plastic drip irrigation pipes, they have a longer service life.
• Environmental protection and energy conservation: Made from raw materials such as clay and slag, it is green and environmentally friendly, and does not require power drive, thus saving energy.
• Application fields: Micro-porous ceramic drip irrigation pipes are suitable for a variety of crops, such as in the irrigation of wolfberries, winter wheat, summer corn, tomatoes and other crops. It is particularly suitable for use in areas with scarce water resources, heavy soil texture or high evaporation. It can effectively improve the utilization rate of water resources, promote crop growth and increase production.

The core working principle of micro-porous ceramic drip irrigation pipes is to utilize the permeability of ceramic micro-pores and the automatic regulation of soil moisture to achieve precise underground seepage irrigation.

Core mechanism of action:

• 1. Micro-pore penetration: The tiny pores (with pore diameters typically at the micrometer level) distributed on the ceramic tube wall allow water to seep out slowly under low pressure (or gravity), preventing direct water flow.
• 2. Targeted root zone delivery: Drip irrigation pipes are buried under the soil near the root zone of crops, and the seeped water directly acts on the area around the root system, reducing intermediate losses.
• 3. Automatic moisture regulation: When the soil is dry, the capillary force increases, and the rate of water seepage accelerates. When the soil is moist, the osmotic pressure is balanced, and the outflow automatically slows down, maintaining an appropriate humidity in the root zone.
• 4. Key operating conditions: No high-pressure power is required. Water flow can be driven by gravity or a low-pressure water head (typically 0.25m-0.75m). The burial depth should match the distribution of the crop root system, generally 10 to 30cm below the surface soil to ensure that water reaches the root zone directly.
