This study was carried out in laboratory with the objective of analizing the hydraulic characterization of the integral drip tape Hidrodrip II, 2.3 L h-1, whose emitters are spaced at 0.3 m and inserted in the tubes during the manufacture process. The tubes were submitted to several pressures to determine the hydraulic characteristics: discharge-pressure relation of emitters and the manufacturing variation coefficient. The temperature effect in the emitter discharge was also evaluated. The discharge exponent calculated indicates that the emitter has a turbulent flow and the mean manufacturing variation coefficient of 1.49%. The emitter discharge decreased only 1.75% as the temperature increased from 30 to 60 ºC.
