Note.--The losses of head for the orifices in the
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 head
is 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
t-in., and IK-in. pipe, con
ducted by the Texas Engineering Experiment Station, and also in the tests to determine the losses of head.

Chapter 8--Hot Water Heating Systems and Pipe Sizes
If the design of the system of Fig. 5 is to be extremely refined, the gravity pressure heads produced by the riser should be taken into con sideration. With water at 220 F and 210 F, respectively, in the risers, the gravity head is 50 milinches per foot of water column or 25 milinches per foot of pipe, flow and return. The pump pressure head in this case is 240 milinches per foot of pipe, and the gravity head, being only one tenth as large as the pump head, may be neglected without serious error. This is
generally done.
Temperatures of 220 F and 210 F would be used only during the coldest weather for which the system is designed. At other times the tempera tures would be lower, the temperature drop smaller, and the gravity heads smaller. The pump pressure head remains constant -throughout the

season if the pump is operated at a constant speed, and consequently, the gravity head is generally less than one tenth of the pump head.
Permissible Variations in Pipe Sizes
The pipe sizes for the several parts of the system selected from the tables are only approximately correct but the resulting error should be negligible as may be seen from the following study: Assume, as an extreme case, that the error in pipe size is so large that the water flows twice as fast through one of the radiators as through the others. This would make the friction head through this radiator almost four times as large as those through the other radiators. The result would be that the water, in flowing through the radiator, would cool 5 deg instead of 10 deg. The mean water temperature in the radiator would then be 217)^ F in stead of 215 F, and the mean temperature difference, water to air, would be 147)4 deg instead of 145 deg. The heat dissipated by the radiator would therefore be about 2 per cent more than calculated. It is evident that this difference in heat dissipation is smaller than the difference
