Question

In drip system, the pressure ratings of lateral pipes are usually ____kg/cm2

• A. \(1.0\)
• B. \(2.5\)
• C. \(3.5\)
• D. \(4.0\)

Hint:

Drip laterals are low-pressure pipes used to carry water to emitters.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
In drip irrigation, lateral pipes carry water from sub-main lines to emitters or drippers.

Step 1: Lateral pipes operate under relatively low pressure.

Step 2: The pipe must withstand the working pressure of the drip system.

Step 3: Pressure rating tells the maximum pressure that the pipe can safely carry.

Step 4: In drip systems, the pressure rating of lateral pipes is usually: \[ 2.5\,kg/cm^2 \] \[ \boxed{2.5\,kg/cm^2} \]
