Design laterals, sub mains, main pipes and pumps with Paragon driplines. Results update as you type. Hover over anything for help.
Estimates only. These results are approximate calculations for guidance. Consult a qualified irrigation designer for proper calculation and system design before you buy or install. By using this calculator you accept the Terms of use.
Negative = downhill from the inlet, positive = uphill.
The C value is the recommended value for this pipe type. Type another value to override it.
Flow distribution is the share of the total flow released along each segment (by its laterals). The shares should add up to 100%.
Add the mainline in sections from the pump or filter outwards. Each section can use its own pipe type, diameter and class, and carries its own flow. Friction uses Hazen-Williams.

Please read these terms before using FlowLogic by Paragon (the "Calculator"), provided by Paragon Irrigation Pvt. Ltd., India, and Paragon Irrigation Inc., U.S.A. (together "Paragon"). By using the Calculator you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use it.
The Calculator gives approximate estimates for general guidance. All results, including lateral lengths, flow rates, pressures, head losses, pipe sizes, irrigation times and pump power, are indicative only and are not a system design.
The Calculator is not professional engineering, agronomic or design advice. Before you buy, install or operate any system, have it designed and checked by a qualified irrigation designer who can review your actual field conditions, water source, water quality, topography, soil and crop needs.
Results use published product data and standard hydraulic formulas (Darcy-Weisbach for driplines, Hazen-Williams for pipes) with simplifying assumptions, including clean water at about 20 °C, new pipes, clean filters, uniform slope and nominal manufacturing values. Real performance varies with installation, water quality, ageing, clogging, temperature, elevation changes and manufacturing tolerances. Pipe inside diameters for PVC, HDPE and other pipes are approximate and must be checked against the supplier's data. Product data may change without notice.
The Calculator and its results are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Paragon product warranties are governed only by Paragon's written product warranty documents and are not extended or changed by the Calculator.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Paragon, its affiliates, directors, employees, dealers and distributors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss or damage arising from the use of, or reliance on, the Calculator or its results. This includes crop loss, loss of yield, water or energy cost, equipment damage, design errors, delays and loss of profit. You use the Calculator and its results entirely at your own risk.
