Not*.--The losses of head for the orifices in the
and 2-in. pipe were calculated from those ih 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 %-in., 1-in., and IH-in. pipe, con
ducted by the Texas Engineering Experiment Station, and also in the tests to determine the losses of head
in orifices in 4-in.. 6-in., and 12-in. pipe, conducted by the Engineering Experiment Station of the University
of Illinois. (Bulletin 109, Table 6, p. 38, Davis and Jordan).

Since forced circulation velocities are higher than those -in gravity systems, and since the friction heads in a heating system vary almost as the squares of the velocities, a given error in the calculation or assump tion of a velocity is less important in a forced circulation system than-in
For other temperature drops the pipe capacities may be changed correspondingly. For example, with a temperature drop of 30 F, the capacities shown in this figure are to be multiplied by 1.5.
