MORRIS Industries, Inc. tura fuerte o vehículo pesado lejos de la plataforma. Permanezca ahí y alejado de ventanas, si es posible. No toque las tuberías o los objetos de metal ya que también podrían actuar como pararrayos. No espere mucho tiempo para bus- car refugio ya que el rayo a menudo golpea antes que la lluvia, sin previo aviso, con el avance de la tormenta. Si usted no tiene una aplicación del tiempo o de rayos en su teléfono, cuente cuántos segundos hay entre el relám- pago y el trueno. Por lo general, si es menos de 30 segundos, todavía es de- masiado pronto para reanudar la per- foración. ¡Detener las actividades de perfo- ración antes de que legue la lluvia tam- bién ofrece otro beneficio ya que mantiene el equipo seco y feliz! cuando la tormen- ta ha terminado operadores felices y secos perforan más rápido que los em- papados. El objetivo final es que al final del día todos vuelven a casa ilesos.

Basic Irrigation Terminology Part 3 Adapted from Information by Rain Bird Corporation and Washington State University E External Manual Bleed - A small water- ing device which delivers water at very low rate (measured in gallons per hour) and pressure at the outlet port. Also refers to a feature which allows an auto- matic valve to be opened manually by releasing water from above the diaphragm to the outside of the valve. F Flow - The movement of water. Flow Control Valve - A valve which modulates to maintain a predetermined flow rate without drastically altering the pressure. Flow Sensor - A device which actively measures water flow through a piping system and reports its data to the com- puterized central control system. FPT - Female nominal pipe thread. Friction Loss - Sometimes called pres- sure loss, this term refers to the amount of pressure lost due to the friction of the water on the pipe walls and turbu- lence inside the pipe. Furrow Irrigation - Also referred to as rill irrigation, this process applies water to row crops in small ditches between the rows. G Globe Valve - This type of valve is con- figured with its outlet 180º from its inlet. They are generally installed so the inlet and outlet are parallel to the ground. GPM - A commonly used acronym for gallons per minute. H Head - Term irrigation designers use for pressure. Head-to-Head Coverage - The practice of placing sprinklers so water from one sprinkler overlaps to the next sprinkler head. This helps increase overall system efficiency and prevents dry spots in the landscape. Come back next month for more!
