Jain Turbo Slim™

Features and Technical Aspects

• Jain Turbo Slim™ is a seamless drip tape with drippers permanently fixed inside. Seamless construction improves ability to withstand pressure fluctuations.

• Jain Turbo Slim™ is manufactured with the most modern, state-of-the-art equipment. Computerized continuous online quality control ensures reliable quality and consistent performance.

• Jain Turbo Slim™ is manufactured from special grade virgin polymer ensuring close dimensional tolerance even at lower wall thickness.

• Jain Turbo Slim™ is highly flexible, whereby coiling and de-coiling is easy.

• Jain Turbo Slim™ is available in 16mm (5/8 inch) nominal diameter. Other sizes such as 12 mm (1/2 inch) and 22 mm (7/8 inch) nominal diameter are available on demand.,16 and 22 nominal diameter.

• Jain Turbo Slim™ has emitters with turbulent flow path hydraulically designed with wide cross sectional area and precisioninlet filter that make it a truly clog resistant drip tape.

• Jain Turbo Slim™ is suitable for surface as well as subsurface applications.

• Jain Turbo Slim™ is available in five different discharges 0.7, 1.2, 1.4, 2.4, 4.0 lph at nominal pressure of 1 kg/cm².

• Jain Turbo Slim™ has extremely low manufacturing coefficient of variation CV_m ensuring high field emission uniformity.

• Jain Turbo Slim™ is available is standard dripper spacing of 20,30,40,50,60,75,90 and 100 cm. Any other spacing and group spacing are available on demand.

• Jain Turbo Slim™ up to 15mil is available with specially designed Tape Lock fittings for easy installation.

• Jain Turbo Slim™ is manufactured as per ASAE S553.

• Jain Turbo Slim™ comes from ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2004 accredited manufacturing facility.

Applications

Usage Instructions for Jain Turbo Slim™

• Always run Jain Turbo Slim™ at nominal operating pressure. viz 0.7 kg/cm2 (10psi) for wall thickness up to 6 and 8mil and 1kg/cm² (14psi) forwall thickness more than or equal to 10 mil.

• The maximum operating pressure for Jain Turbo Slim™ shall not be more than 1.2 kg/cm² at the same time ensure that pressure shall notbe too much below the recommended operating pressure.

• Minimum 100 micron filtration recommended. Exact filtration type and precision depends upon quality of source water.

• 6 mil and 8 mil tubings are suitable for one crop season. However useful life may be extended to 2 to 3 crop seasons subject to due careand maintenance.

• 10 mil onwards tubing can be used for multi-season subject to due care and maintenance.

• Subsurface use of Jain Turbo Slim™ may improve the life to multi season. Provided proper operational and maintenance guidelines arefollowed.

• Always position Jain Turbo Slim™ with emitter facing upwards.

• Use Tape Lock™ fittings for leak proof jointing.

• Safeguard Jain Turbo Slim™ from mechanical abuses like pulling the tubing, over-pressurising, movement of man/machine on the tubing. Remove sharp objects like stones, twigs etc. away from the tubing.

• De-coiling and coiling of Jain Turbo Slim™ shall be done carefully. It is recommended to use proper coiling equipment to avoid mechanicaldamages.

• Chemical treatment (acid treatment and chlorine treatment) shall be done at frequent intervals. Frequency of chemical treatment can bedecided by the quality of source water.

• Run the system daily to keep continuous wetted strip. Running the system daily helps to avoid salt precipitation inside the tubing /emitter.

• Always keeping the field wet (wetted strip) helps to reduce rodent bite problem.

• Use of chlorination or chemicals like trifluriline can help to avoid root intrusion problem in subsurface application of Jain Turbo Slim™.

• Avoid water stresses (under irrigation) to avoid root intrusion problem. Always maintain the required moisture level within the root zone.Avoid over irrigation, which promotes weeds which may also lead to root intrusion problem.

• In subsurface application maintain proper depth of tubing. If tube is placed at too shallow depth, may lead to water & salts rising up tothe surface due to capillary action. This may result into root intrusion. If tube is placed too deep, may lead to water percolation beyondroot zone.

• Always put sufficient air release cum vacuum breaker valves in the system. This will avoid emitter sucking the mud / soil.
