Chapin-Drip Tape

Turbulent Flow Twin-Walled

TM

Uniquely designed 16 mm and 22 mm tape

for increased durability and clog resistance

BTF tape
Applications

Slit outlet

Irrigation of row crop such as tomatoes, corn, cotton, and

sugarcane

Regulating channel
Multi inlets

Structure and features

Manufactured from high-quality polyethylene
Unique turbulent flow path with wide cross-section facilitates
clog resistance
High resistance to insect damage and field abrasion
Extruded film pattern ensures round sides, offering higher
resistance to insect bites
Excellent hydraulic performance against pressure variations emitter exponent less than 0.49
Slit outlet reduces root intrusion
Lower winding tension reduces retraction in the field and
prevents kinking and snaking

High vortex turbulent

flow path with large
cross-sectional area

Continuous inlet filter channel (333 filters per 1.0 m) provides

extremely high clog resistance
Continuous filtration channel flushes debris from the flow
path, ensuring high performance and longer tape life
