USCCO PRE-CAST CONCRETE CONDUIT
*
This unit marks a long step forward in the economics and mechanics of laying under ground steam lines.
Its Outstanding Features Are:
Strength resulting from flat reinforced bell; from the longitudinal joints, and from the fact its sections are 4 feet long, reducing the usual - number of joints necessary.
Shape which allows 12 per cent greater inside capacity than circular conduit 'of like diameter. This permits larger pipes in a given size conduit and more room for drainage, pipe supports and rolls.
Ease of Installation resulting from the fact that all top and bottom halves mate. Bottoms may be laid for any distance, the piping installed and then the tops brought up and laid. This speeds up the work and protects idle halves from damage. They can ^e stored away from the job.
Materials are high strength cement with suitable aggregate, amply reinforced with wire mesh.
Pipe Supports sue of cast-iron and quickly installed. They may be placed anywhere in the conduit. The weight of the pipe holds them in place.
Joints' may be of any standard accepted brand of jointing compound or they may be of standard Portland cement mortar.

The CHRONOFLO METER for nearby or long distance measurement of flow, level, pressure, temperature, weight, or position.
The SHUNT METER for steam, air and gas. The VENTURI METER for boiler feed water supply, and other main pipe lines.
CHRONOFLO METERS AND CONTROLLERS
"From hundreds of feet to hundreds of miles''
Chronoflo Meters--Mechanically measure flow, pressure, tem perature, or position in terms of time; electrically transmit this time duration equivalent of the quantity to any point--or points--nearby or miles away. There a Receiving Instrument mechanically indicates, records, or registers it. If desired, the same " impulse " maybe used to operate flow, pressure, temperature, weight, or position controllers. Regular A.C. current is used and accuracy is not affected by voltage variation. Suitable for nearby or
long distance transmission over private wires or public telephone channels. Write for Bulletin 283.
THE SHUNT METER
A low priced, practical, mechanical, meter easily installed
and accurate over a wide range. Regularly used by many
District Heating Companies for measuring steam sold; also
ordered and re-ordered by leading industrial plants to meter
steam or air furnished tenants, departments, and processes.
The illustration shows the complete meter. Installation
consists simply of bolting to flanges in the flow line; no
connecting pipe or electric wiring. A portion of the
entering steam is deflected by an orifice through nozzles
against the blades of a turbine located in the upper or shunt
passageway. The speed of the turbine is kept low by a
dampening fan on the vertical turbine shaft, at the bottom
end of which is a magnetic drive to the totalizer dials.
The meter is installed as a unit in 2, 3 and 4-in. lines;
for larger capacities the installation is made in a by-pass
around an orifice in the main line. Write for Bulletin 255
