American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers Guide, 1926-27 greatest diameter at the top. It will be seen that 35 ft. elevation will give the necessary 15 lb. pressure at the highest fixture and that the pressure drop may be made equal to the static head from the top fixtures down, or 40 lbs. per 100. FRICTION IN ELBOWS Friction caused by elbows should be added to straight pipe friction. Each elbow in a line will add friction equal to a length of straight pipe forty times the diameter of the pipe: Pipe Size.............................

WATER SUPPLY FORMULA CF = Cu. ft. per min. discharged G = Gal. per min. discharged H = Friction head of water in feet = pressure X 2.31; if water is raised vertically, deduct number of feet raised, from head due to pressure. L = Length of pipe in feet--including horizontal and vertical runs. = 0.16 y CF X 3 ff (1) 2 G=1 Y(3d)1 X 3 H (2) (CF)1 X L H = .0768 (3d)1 (3) H= (Gy XL 4.32 (3d)1 (4) The above formula neglects the head due to entry, which need not be computed except when L is very short. Hi = head due to entry in feet.

Pipe sizes for hot water systems may be calculated from the foregoing data on-cold water systems; using the same quantities for the gallons of hot water required per min. as is given for the cold water. It may be borne in mind that a column of hot water is lighter than one of cold water amounting to about ft. per 100 ft. in the height of columns of equal weight. In case the cold water must first be fed down from roof tanks to heaters in the basement and then back up to the top floor fixtures, the extra length of run must be taken into consideration. As a check on the total quantity of hot and cold water required per day it is well to know that this generally runs from 2 to 3 times the amount of hot water re quired and from 80 to 100 gal. per occupant of the building.
