spectively. These figures would also illustrate forced circulation if a pump or circulator were shown in the return line at the boiler.
One-pipe gravity systems require very precise design owing to the small circulating head available. Also, circulation in them is slow, and tem perature drop is large toward the end of the main, and consequently these systems are usually considered impractical.
One-pipe forced systems compared with gravity systems provide more rapid circulation, with consequent smaller temperature drop in inains and more uniform water temperature in all radiators, and are therefore preferred. Special flow and return fittings are available for improving the circulation to risers.
Two-pipe systems have separate flow and return mains. If the return main is direct as shown in Fig. 5 the radiator at the end of the system has

-The losses of head for the orifices in the l*4tn. and 2-in. pipe were calculated from those in the
smaller pipes, the calculations being based on the assumption that, for any given velocity, the loss of bead 13 a function of the ratio of the diameter of the pipe to that of the orifice. This had been found to be
practically true in the tests to determine the losses of head in orifices in 5*in.. 1-in., and l#-in. pipe, con ducted by the Texas Engineering Experiment Station, and also in the tests to determine the losses of brad
onhces in 4-in.. 6-in., and 12-in. pipe, conducted by the Engineering Experiment Station of the University
Illinois, (Bulletin 109. Table 6, p. 38, Davis and Jordan).
