Hi

I got a automatic micro irrigation system with different zones containing sprinkler, dripper and bubbler which are designed to operate at different time. How could I determine the flow rate of the pump? Thank you
 
Measure what goes in?

So fill a bucket of known volume. Connect the bucket to the inlet of the pump. Time how long it takes for the bucket to empty.

Divide volume by time.

Simples.

Or are you trying to decide what volume of the pump you need - Find the biggest duty.

Remember - More details = better answers
