I call BS on your last sentence. Either that, or you should be teaching lessons on that. The exact same system but with a different number of branch lines can easily move the remote area one head left or right. Are you really that good? ☺
I agree with the first two sentences. Unless it’s really typical, you can usually do a good enough job of figuring it out. I would say that if you know what you’re doing (i.e. have some experience with it) you can probably just pick the area on your own. As long as there is a decent safety margin, let it rip. If it’s like 0.5 psi, it’s probably worth the time to perform the manual peaking. -Kyle M From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of J H Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2019 5:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Autopeak On the non-typical grids it's pretty easy to identify your most demanding area. I just calc it w/o auto peak activated and submit. For grid systems with more typical spacing I'll peak it but have rarely ever had the hydraulic program correct my first attempt.
