*Radiator branches more than 8 ft in length should be one size larger than shown in Column G. tHiis table is for systems which are open to atmosphere or operate under slight pressure or partial vacuum without use of vacuum pumps. Note /.--These tables apply where pipes are properly reamed. No allowances for defective material of workmanship
have been made. (Also see Tables 18,19 and 20). Note 8.--Capacities based on lb. condensation per square foot equivalent radiation and actual diameter of standard pipe. Note 8.--Extra length to be added to straight run of pipe for various fittings and valves to determine equivalent length.
(See Table 6). Note 4.--Mains are to be proportioned according to the equivalent length of run from the boiler or source of supply to
the farthest radiators supplied by the main.
Determine equivalent length of run then use figures in that corresponding Column (B to E) for supply mains; (/ to AO
' for dry return mains; (N to Q) for wet return mains for sizing the entire run. Supply and return risers are to be proportioned according to the equivalent length of run from the boiler or source of i
supply to the farthest radiator on each riser. For supply risen determine the distance from the boiler to the farthest radiator served by that riser then use the figures
in the corresponding Column (B to E) for sizing each supply riser; providing the amonnt of radiation for that riser does not ; exceed amounts shown in Column F. Where supply riser capacities are found to be in excess of amounts shown in Column F, step up to necessary rise indicated in that column. For return risers determine the equivalent length of run in feet from the top of each riser to the boiler then use the figures in the corresponding Columns (J to M) for sizing each riser.
Note 6.--Where it is necessary to drip a supply main or a supply riser or a branch to a supply riser, same should drip - -
separately into a wet return. The drip for a vapor or vacuum system may be taken into a dry return through a steam trap. /. Note 6.--Pitch of pipe should be not less than in. in 10 ft.; on horizontal branches to radiators, at least M in. in 10 ft
