April 17, 201016 yr Hi does anyone know where to find aluminum irrigation tubing preferably around 100-150mm in 6m lengths? TIA
April 17, 201016 yr Do you mean the type that has the windows which open/close to put water down between planted rows? If this is what you mean, No, and I have inquired with no luck. Siphon tubes out of a elevated water source may be doable, as a alternative.
April 18, 201016 yr Have never seen aluminum pipe in Thailand. In the US we use 3" and 4" in 30 foot lengths. Connection fittings are press fitted The idea is ripe for introduction to Thailand, as movable hand lines would be a nice improvement The San Joaquin Valley in California is an ag supply district which would have everything possibly ever needed for any crop Fresno and Bakersfield are the key city centers The next best thing already available in Thailand is PVC in 4 meter lengths It comes in three grades, 5.0, 8.5, and 13.5 bar pressure rated For sprinkler irrigation, I've used 5.0 bar pipe with fine results. Some farmers use Threaded steel pipe for surface lines which they remove between crops. Seems a lot of work when they could trench and bury PVC
