Computed kinetic energy values for each of the two sprinklers are shown in Table 2. The R3000 red-plate sprinkler had the lower kinetic energy than that of the R3000 orange-plate sprinkler, while the R3000 orange-plate sprinkler had the lower specific power value. This outcome demonstrates that despite the relatively small drop sizes of the R3000 red-plate sprinkler, kinetic energy is transferred to the soil surface at relatively high rate due to the relatively small wetted radius of the sprinkler (Table 2).
