ASAE/ASABE S626 – Landscape Irrigation System Uniformity and Application Rate Testing

This standard provides methods for evaluating the application rate and/or uniformity of coverage of installedlandscape irrigation systems. The landscapes covered include continuous areas of turf or small ground cover, orother areas where irrigation coverage is unimpeded by the landscape materials.

The methods described in this standard provide a representation of the performance of the irrigation system atthe time of the test. It may or may not be representative of the everyday performance of the system. The methodsmay be used as part of an overall irrigation system audit. Accuracy of the results depends on the quality ofmeasurements and data provided by the end user.
