Sprinkler Run Time Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Sprinkler Run Time (\(SRT\)):

\[ SRT = \frac{TW}{FR} \]

Where:

\(SRT\) is the Sprinkler Run Time (min)
\(TW\) is the total water needed (gallons)
\(FR\) is the sprinkler flow rate (gallons/min)

What is Sprinkler Run Time?

Sprinkler Run Time refers to the amount of time a sprinkler system needs to run to deliver the required amount of water. It is calculated by dividing the total water needed by the sprinkler flow rate.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Water Needed (\(TW\)) = 500 gallons
Sprinkler Flow Rate (\(FR\)) = 10 gallons/min

Using the formula:

\[ SRT = \frac{500}{10} = 50 \text{ minutes} \]

The Sprinkler Run Time is 50 minutes.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Water Needed (\(TW\)) = 300 gallons
Sprinkler Flow Rate (\(FR\)) = 15 gallons/min

Using the formula:

\[ SRT = \frac{300}{15} = 20 \text{ minutes} \]

The Sprinkler Run Time is 20 minutes.
