Model Maker version 9How to neaten up lateral designs for installation

摘要

After sizing lateral pipes in an irrigation block, you will often find that pipe lengths of the same diameter differ slightly. This is 100% correct and understandable, but during installation of laterals, it causes a bit of an issue for installers working with so many different lengths of pipe.Although not hydraulically correct, installers will every so often decide on a "best fit" scenario whereby they will select the average length lateral and apply that length to other laterals of the same diameter, making it easier for installation. Yes, this method definitely compromises the hydraulic design, but if applied with moderation and common sense, the slight change may still deliver acceptable results.
