The present work had for objective to develop a simple process, with low cost and enough precise for its use in irrigation systems. The measurer consists of a secondary canalization provided with a hydrometer of low outflow installed in parallel with a singularity capable to provoke a pressure difference enters the extreme points of the device. The distinguishing pressure induces to the partial draining of the water through the secondary canalization being measured for the hydrometer. The work was developed in the Irrigation, Hydraulical and Draining laboratory of the Department of Agricultural Engineering of the Federal University of Santa Maria and in a system of water main for a central pivot installed in the Mayã Farm, in the city of São Sepé - RS. The work consists in the evaluation of a proportional measurer of volume (or outflow) and of the posterior application for the estimate of the volume of water fed for the system of bombardment to an expository of a system of irrigation of the type central pivot. The proportional measurer presents easiness about the construction and installation in the field. The results allowed concluding that the proportional measurer was capable to estimate the outflow of the central pivot irrigation system. The proportional measurer can be installed and operated in a simple way, and its components are of easy acquisition and low cost and maintenance. Such characteristics assume great importance in the current days becoming viable the implantation of systems of measurement in all the existing systems of irrigation in the agricultural way.
