Methodology to Evaluate Dripper Sensitivity to Clogging due to Solid Particles: An Assessment

Figure 2

Degree of clogging and number of clogged emitters during the experiments accounting for 3 replications (R1, R2, and R3); N is the number of clogged emitters (i.e., flow rate decreased by more than 25% from the initial value); Dc represents the degree of clogging (1). The threshold represents the level at which clogging is considered to occur.
