FOREWORD
The more complex industry becomes, the more vital becomes the role played by fluids in the industrial machine. One hun dred years ago water was the only impor tant fluid which was conveyed from ope point to another in pipe. Today, almost every conceivable fluid is handled in pipe during its production, processing, transpor tation, or utilization. The age of atomic energy and rocket power has added fluids such as liquid metals .... i.e., sodium, po tassium, and bismuth, as well as liquid oxygen, nitrogen, etc.... to the list of more common fluids such as oil, water, gases, acids, and liquors that are being trans ported in pipe today. Nor is the transpor tation of fluids the only phase .of hydrau lics which warrants attention now. Hy draulic and pneumatic mechanisms are used extensively for the controls of modern aircraft, sea-going vessels, automotive equipment, machine tools, earth-moving and road-building machines, and even in scientif ; laboratory equipment where pre cise control of fluid flow is required.
So extensive are the applications of hydrau lics and fluid mechanics that almost every engineer has found it necessary to famil iarize himself with at least the elementary laws of fluid flow. To satisfy a demand for a simple and practical treatment of the subject of flow in pipe, Crane Co. published in 1935, a booklet entitled Flow of Fluids and Heat Transmission. A revised edition on the subject of Flow of Fluids Through Valves, Fittings, and Pipe was published in 1942. That this work was immediately acclaimed by both practical and scientific engineers..wass indicated by its world-wide circulatiorr afid the many favorable com ments received: The appearance of much new and useful data on the subject has made the present revision necessary. In order to obtain the latest information, Crane Co. sponsored a fellowship at Armour Research Foundation under the direction of Dr. V. L. Streeter. Mr. W. G. Kautz, recipient of the fellowship, com-
piled much of the data upon which the present revision is based. Development and arrangement of these data to the form in which they are presented, as well as the analysis of extensive Crane Laboratory and field test data, required the extensive effort of Crane Engineers for a period of several years.
The chief endeavor in the preparation of the present edition has been to present the newest available information on the flow of fluids, in summarized form, and to include all the auxiliary data necessary to the solu tion of any but the most unusual fluid flow problems. As in the 1942 edition, nomographs are included for the use of those engineers who prefer graphical methods of solving some of the more simple problems. However, the number.of nomographs.has been considerably reduced by avoiding duplication; at the same time, their range of application has- been ex panded.
.; T -*
The general arrangement of the book has
been changed to present the theory in
Chapters. 1 and 2 . .. . practical application
to flow problems in Chapters 3 and 4 ... .
physical properties of fluids and flow char
acteristics of valves, fittings, and pipe in
Appendix A . . . . and conversion units and
other useful engineering data in Appendix
B. Furthermore, a page numbering system
has been adopted that will facilitate future
revisions of individual chapters without
affecting others.
'
Most of the data on flow through valves and fittings were obtained by carefully conducted experiments in the Crane Engi neering Laboratories. Liberal use has been made, however, of other reliable sources of data on this subject and due credit has been given these sources in the text. The bibliography of references will' provide a source for further study of the subject presented.

The most commonly employed method of transport ing fluid from one point to another is to force the fluid to flow through a piping system. Pipe of cir cular section is most frequently used because that shape offers not only greater structural strength, but also greater cross sectional area per unit of wall sur face than any other shape. Unless otherwise stated, the word "pipe" in this book will always refer to a closed conduit of circular section and constant internal diameter;
Only a few special problems in fluid mechanics .... laminar flow in pipe, for example .... can be entirely solved by rational mathematical means; all other problems require methods of solution which rest, at least in part, on experimentally determined coeffi cients. Many empirical formulas have been proposed for the problem of flow in pipe, but these are often extremely limited and can be applied only when the conditions of the problem closely approach the conditions of the experiments from which the for mulas were derived.
Because of the great variety of fluids being handled in modem industrial processes, a single equation which can be used for the flow of any fluid in pipe offers obvious advantages. Such an equation is the Darcy* formula. The Darcy formula can be derived rationally by means of dimensional analysis; how ever, one variable in the formula .... the friction factor___ must be determined experimentally. This formula has a wide application in the field of fluid mechanics and is used extensively throughout this paper.
The Darcy formula is also known as the Weisbach formula or the DarcyWeisbach formula; also, as the Fanning formula, sometimes modified so that the friction factor is one-fourth the Darcy friction factor.

Weight density, specific volume, and specific gravity: The weight density or specific weight of a substance is its weight per unit volume. In the English system of units, this is expressed in pounds per cubic foot and the
symbol designation-used in this paper is p (Rho). In the metric system, the unit is grams per cubic centimeter and the symbol designation used is p' (Rho prime).
The specific volume V, being the reciprocal of the weight density, is expressed in the English system as the number of cubic feet of space occupied by one pound of the substance, thus:
V= i
P
'
Computations in the metric system are not com monly referred to in terms of specific volume; how ever, the number of cubic centimeters, per gram of a substance can readily be expressed as the reciprocal of the weight density, that is:
p' '
The variations in weight density as well as other properties of water with changes in temperature are shown on page A-6. The weight densities of other common liquids are shown on page A-7. Unless very high pressures are being considered, the effect of pressure on the weight of liquids is of no practical importance in flow problems.
In steam flow computations, the reciprocal of the weight density, which is the specific volume, is com monly used; these values are listed in the steam tables shown on pages A-12 to A-18. A chart for de termining the weight density and specific volume of gases is given on page A-l 1.
Specific gravity is a relative measure of weight den sity. Since pressure has an insignificant effect upon the weight density of liquids, temperature is the only condition that must be considered in designat ing the basis for specific gravity. The specific grav ity of a liquid is its weight density at 60 F (unless otherwise specified) to that of water at standard temperature, 6o F.

General Energy Equation Bernoulli's Theorem
The Bernoulli theorem is a means of expressing the application of the law of conservation of energy to the flow of fluids in a conduit. The total energy at any particular point, above some arbitrary horizontal
datum plane, is equal to the sum of the elevation head, the pressure head, and the velocity head, as follows:
z + I4 + 11 H P 2g
If friction losses are neglected and no energy is added to, or taken from, a piping system (i.e., pumps or turbines), the total head, H, in the above equation will be a constant for any point in the fluid. How ever, in actual practice, losses or energy increases or decreases are encountered and must be included in the Bernoulli equation. Thus, an energy balance may be written for two points in a fluid, as shown in the example in Figure 1-4.

Since most calculations involve commercial steel or wrought iron pipe, the chart on page A-25 is furnished for a more direct solution. It should be kept in mind that these figures apply to clean new pipe.
Effect of age and use on pipe friction: Friction loss in pipe is sensitive to changes in diameter and roughness of pipe. For a given rate of flow and a fixed friction factor, the pressure drop per foot of pipe varies inversely- with the fifth power of the diameter. Therefore, a 2% reduction of diameter
causes a 10% increase in pressure drop; a 5% reduc tion of diameter increases pressure drop 23%. In many services, the interior of pipe becomes encrusted with scale, dirt, tubercules or other foreign matter; thus, it is often prudent to make allowance for ex pected diameter changes.
Authorities2 point out that roughness may be ex pected to increase with use (due to corrosion or incrustation) at a rate determined by the pipe material and nature of the fluid. Ippen18, in discuss ing the effect of aging, cites a 4-inch galvanized steel pipe which had its roughness doubled and its friction factor increased 20% after three years of moderate use.
Principles of Compressible Flow in Pipe
An accurate determination of the pressure drop of a compressible fluid flowing through a pipe requires a knowledge of the relationship between pressure and specific volume; this is not easily determined in each particular problem. The usual extremes con sidered are adiabatic flow (p'V\ = constant) and iso thermal flow {p'Va = constant). Adiabatic flow is usually assumed, in short, perfectly insulated pipe. This would be consistent since no heat is transferred to or from the pipe, except for the fact that the minute amount of heat generated by friction is added to the flow.
Isothermal flow or flow at constant temperature is often assumed, partly for convenience but more often because it is closer to fact in piping practice. The most outstanding case-of isothermal flow occurs in natural gas pipe lines. Dodge and Thompson1 show that gas flow in insulated pipe is closely approximated by isothermal flow for reasonably high pressures.
Since the relationship between pressure and volume may follow some other relationship (p'Va = con stant) called polytropic flow, specific information in each individual case is almost an impossibility.
The density of gases and vapors changes considerably
with changes in pressure; therefore, if the pressure drop between Pi and P2 in Figure 1-6 is great, the density and velocity will change appreciably.
When dealing with compressible fluids, such as air, steam, etc., the following restrictions should be observed in applying the Darcy formula:
1. If the calculated pressure drop (Pi -- P2) is less than about 10% of the inlet pressure Pt, reason able accuracy will be obtained if the specific volume used in the formula is based upon either the upstream or downstream conditions, which ever are known.
2. If the calculated pressure drop (Pi -- P$) is greater than about 10%, but less than about 40% of inlet pressure Pi, the Darcy equation may be used with reasonable accuracy by using a specific volume based, upon the average of upstream and downstream conditions; otherwise, the method given on page i-q may be used.
1 For greater pressure drops, such as are often encountered in long pipe lines, the methods given on the next two pages should be used.

Complete isothermal equation: The flow of gases in long pipe lines closely approximates isothermal con ditions. The pressure drop in such lines is often large relative to the inlet pressure, and solution of this problem falls outside the limitations of the Darcy equation.

Limiting flow of gases and vapors: The feature not evident in the preceding formulas (Equations 1-4 and 1-6 to 1-9 inclusive) is that the weight rate of flow (e.g., lbs/sec) of a compressible fluid in a pipe, with a given upstream pressure, will approach a cer tain maximum rate which it cannot exceed, no mat ter how much the downstream pressure is further reduced.
The maximum velocity of a compressible fluid in pipe is limited by the velocity of propagation of a pres sure wave which travels at the speed of sound in the fluid. Since pressure falls off and velocity in creases as fluid proceeds downstream in pipe of uni form cross section, the maximum velocity occurs in the downstream end of the pipe. If the pressure drop is sufficiently high, the exit velocity will reach the velocity of sound. Further decrease in the out let pressure will not be felt upstream because the pressure wave can only travel at sonic velocity, and the "signal" will never translate upstream. The "surplus" pressure drop obtained by lowering the outlet pressure after the maximum discharge has already been reached takes place beyond the end of the pipe. This pressure is lost in shock waves and turbulence of the jetting fluid.
The maximum possible velocity in the pipe is sonic velocity, which is expressed as:
Equation 1-10
v, = V kg RT = V kg 144 P' V
The value of k, the ratio of specific heats at con stant pressure to constant volume, is 1.4 for most diatomic gases; see pages A-8 and A-9 for values of k for gases and steam respectively. This velocity will occur at the outlet end or in a constricted area,when the pressure drop is sufficiently high. The pressure, temperature, and specific volume are those occurring at the point in question. When com pressible fluids discharge from the end of a reasonably short pipe of uniform cross section into an area of larger cross section, the flow is usually considered to be adiabatic. This assumption is supported by ex perimental data on pipe having lengths of 220 and 130 pipe diameters discharging air to atmosphere. Investigation of the complete theoretical analysis of adiabatic flow19 has led to a basis for establishing correction factors, which may be applied to the 'Darcy equation for this condition of flow. Since these correction factors compensate for the changes in fluid properties due to expansion of the fluid, they are identified as Y net expansion factors; see page A-22.
The Darcy formula, including the Y factor, is:
W = O.525 Yd?yJ-j^r
Equation MI
(Resistance coefficient K is defined on page 2-8)
It should be noted that the value of K in this equa tion is the total resistance coefficient of the pipe line, including entrance and exit losses when they exist, and losses due to valves and fittings.
The pressure drop, AP, in the ratio AP/P\ which is used for the determination of Y from the charts on page A-22, is the measured difference between the inlet pressure and the pressure in the area of larger cross section. In a system discharging compressible fluids to atmosphere, this AP is equal to the inlet gauge pressure, or the difference between absolute inlet pressure and atmospheric pressure. This value of AP is also used in Equation 1-11, whenever the Y factor falls within the limits defined by the re sistance factor K curves in the charts on page A-22. When the ratio of AP/P\, using AP as defined above, falls beyond the limits of the K curves in the charts, sonic velocity occurs at the point of discharg ' or at some restriction within the pipe, and the limit ing values for Y and AP, as determined from the tabulations to the right of the charts on page A-22, must be used in Equation 1-11.
Application of Equation 1-11 and the determination of values for K, Y, and AP in the formula is demon strated in examples on pages 4-13 and 4-14.
The charts on page A-22 are based upon the general gas laws for perfect gases and, at sonic velocity conditions at the outlet end, will yield accurate results for all gases which approximately follow the perfect gas laws. Steam and vapors deviate from the perfect gas laws, and application of the Y factor obtained from the charts to these flows, will there fore yield flow rates slightly greater (up to about 5%) than those calculated on the basis of sonic velocity at the outlet. However, greater accuracy will be obtained if the charts are used to establish the downstream pressure when sonic velocity occurs, and the fluid properties at this pressure condition are used in the sonic velocity and continuity equa tions (Equations 3-8 and 3-2 respectively) to de termine the flow rate. An example of this type of flow problem is presented on page 4-13.
This condition of flow is comparable to the flow through nozzles and venturi tubes, covered <pn page 2-15, and the solutions of such problems are similar.

Substances exist in any one of three phases .... solid, liquid, or gas. When outside conditions are varied, they may change from one phase to another.
Water under normal atmospheric conditions exists in the form of a liquid. When a body of water is heated by means of some external medium, the' tem perature of the water rises and soon small bubbles, which break and form continuously, are noted on the surface. This phenomenon is described as "boiling".
change the liquid into a vapor at atmospheric pres sure (14.7 psia), 970.3 Btu must be added to each pound of water after the temperature of 212 F is reached. During this transition period, the tem perature remains constant. The added quantity of heat is called the latent heat of evaporation. Conse quently, the total heat of the vapor, formed when water boils at atmospheric pressure, is the sum of the two quantities .... 180.1 Btu and 970.3 Btu, or, 1150.4 Btu per pound.
The amount of heat necessary to cause the tempera ture of the water to rise is expressed in British Ther mal Units (Btu), where, 1 Btu is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water from 60 to 61 F. The amount of heat neces sary to raise the temperature of a pound of water from 32 F (freezing point) to 212 F (boiling point) is 180.1 Btu. When the pressure does not exceed 50 pounds per square inch absolute, it is usually per missible to assume that each temperature increase of 1 F represents a heat content increase of one Btu per pound, regardless of the temperature of the water.
Assuming the generally accepted reference plane for zero heat content at 32' F, one pound of water at 212 F contains 180.1 Btu. This quantity of heat is called heat of the liquid or sensible heat. In order to
If water is heated in a closed vessel not completely filled, the pressure will rise after steam begins to form accompanied by an increase in temperature.
Saturated steam is steam in contact with liquid water from which it was generated, at a tempera ture which is the boiling point of the water and the condensing point of the steam. It may be either "dry" or "wet", depending on the generating con ditions. "Dry" saturated steam is steam free from mechanically mixed water particles. "Wet satu rated steam, on the other hand, contains water particles in suspension. Saturated steam at any pressure has a definite temperature.
Superheated sfeom is steam at any given pressure which is heated to a temperature higher than the temperature of saturated steam at that pressure.
Flow of Fluids Through Valves and Fittings

CHAPTER 2
The preceding chapter has been devoted to- the theory and formulas used in the study of fluid flow in pipes. Since industrial installations usually con tain a considerable number of valves and fittings, a knowledge of their resistance to the flow of fluids is necessary to determine the flow characteristics of a complete piping system.
Many texts on hydraulics contain no information on the resistance of valves and fittings to flow, while others present only a limited discussion of the sub ject. In realization of the need for more complete detailed information on the resistance of valves and fittings to flow, Crane Co. has conducted extensive tests in their Engineering Laboratories and has also sponsored investigations in other laboratories. These tests have been supplemented by a thorough study of all published data on this subject. Appendix A contains data from these many separate tests and the findings have been combined to furnish a basis for calculating the pressure drop through valves and fittings.
Representative resistances to flow of various types of piping components are given on pages A-26, A-27, and A-30. For conversion of "equivalent length in pipe diameters", as obtained from page A-27 or A-30, to "equivalent length in feet of pipe" for any size of valve.or fitting, see page A-31. The chart on page A-31 also illustrates the correlation of equivalent length, resistance coefficient K, and pipe size. A chart is presented on page A-32 which may be used to readily determine the Cv flow coefficient of any valve for which the resistance coefficient is known or can be determined from page A-30 and page A-31.
A discussion of the equivalent length and resistance coefficient K, as well as the flow coefficient Cv meth ods of calculating pressure drop through valves and fittings is presented on pages 2-8 and 2-9.

CHAPTER 2 -- FLOW OF FLUIDS THROUGH VALVES AND FITTINGS
Types of Valves and Fittings Used in Pipe Systems
CRANE
Valves: Although the great variety of valve designs precludes any thorough classification, most of the designs may be considered as modifications of the two basic types:
Fittings: Fittings may be classified as branching, reducing, expanding, or deflecting, Such fittings as tees, crosses, side outlet elbows, etc., may be
called branching fittings.
1. the gate type 2. the globe type
If valves were classified according to the resistance which they offer to flow, the gate type valves would be put in the low resistance class and the globe type valves in the high resistance class. The classi fication is not all-inclusive, however, because a large number of modified valve types fall between the two extremes. Some of the most-commonly used valve designs are illustrated on pages A-28 and A-29.
Reducing or expanding fittings are those which change the area of the fluid passageway. In this class are reducers and bushings. Deflecting fittings .... bends, elbows, return bends, etc........ are those which change the direction of flow.
Some fittings, of course, may be combinations of ahy of the foregoing general classifications. In addi tion, there are types such as couplings and unions which offer no appreciable resistance to flow and, therefore, need not be considered here.

Pressure Drop Chargeable To Valves and Fittings
When a fluid is flowing steadily in a long straight pipe of uniform diameter, the flow pattern, as indi cated by the velocity distribution across the pipe diameter, will assume a certain characteristic form. Any impediment in the pipe which changes the direc tion of the whole stream, or even part of it, will alter the characteristic flow pattern and-create tur bulence, causing an energy loss greater than that normally accompanying flow in straight pipe. Be cause valves and fittings in a pipe line disturb the flow pattern, they produce an additional pressure drop.
The loss of pressure produced by a valve (or fitting) consists of:
1. The pressure drop within the valve itself.
2. The pressure drop in the upstream piping in excess of that which would normally occur if there were no valve in the line. This effect is small.
3. The pressure drop in the downstream piping in excess of that which would normally occur if there were no valve in the line. This effect may be comparatively large.
From the experimental point of view it is difficult to measure the three items separately. Their combined effect is the desired quantity, however, and this can be accurately measured by well known methods.
Figure 2-1
Figure 2-1 shows two sections of a pipe line of the same diameter and length. The upper section con tains a globe valve. If the pressure drops, APi and APi, were measured between the points indicated, it would be found that APi is greater than AP2.
Actually the loss chargeable to a valve of length "d" is APi minus the loss in a section of pipe of length "a + b' The losses, expressed in terms of equiva lent length in pipe diameters, of various valves,and fittings as given on page A-30, include the loss due to the length of the valve or fitting.

Crane Flow Tests
,n
Crane Engineering Laboratories have facili ties for conducting water, steam, and air flow tests for many sizes and types of valves and fittings. Although a de tailed discussion of all the various tests performed is beyond the scope of this
paper, a brief description of some of the apparatus will be of interest.
The test piping shown in Figure 2-3 is unique in that 6-inch gate, globe, and angle valves or 90 degree ells and tees can be tested with either water or steam. The vertical leg of the angle test section permits testing of angle lift check and stop check valves.
Saturated steam at 150 psi is available at flow rates up to 100,000 pounds per hour. The steam is throt tled to the desired pressure and its state is deter mined at the meter as well as upstream and down stream from the test specimen.
Figure 2-2
Flow tat piping for 12-tfch oost <tool
ongio rah*
For tests on water, a steam turbine driven pump sup plies water at rates up to 1200 gallons per minute through the test piping.
Static pressure differential is measured by means of a manometer connected to piezometer rings upstream and downstream from test position 1 in the angle test section, or test position 2 in the straight test sec tion. The downstream piezometer for the angle test section serves as the upstream piezometer for
the straight test section. Measured pressure drop for the pipe alone between piezometer stations is subtracted f 3m the pressure drop through the valve plus pipe to ascertain the pressure drop chargeable to the valve alone.
Results of some of the flow tests conducted in the Crane Engineering Laboratories are plotted in Fig ures 2-4 to 2-7 shown on the two pages following.

Relationship of Pressure Drop to Velocity of Flow
Many experiments have shown that the head loss due to valves and fittings is proportional to a constant power of the velocity. When pressure drop or head loss is plotted against velocity on logarithmic co ordinates, the resulting curve is therefore a straight line. In the turbulent flow range, the value of the exponent of v has been found to vary from about 1.8 to 2.1 for different designs of valves and fittings. However, for all practical purposes, it can be as sumed that the pressure drop or head loss due to the flow of fluids in the turbulent range through valves and fittings varies as the square of the velocity.
This relationship of pressure drop to velocity of flow is valid for check valves, only if there is suffi cient flow to hold the disc in a wide open position. The point of deviation of the test curves from a straight line, as illustrated in Figures 2-5 and 2-6, defines the flow conditions necessary to support a check valve disc in the wide open position.
Most of the difficulties encountered with'check valves, both lift and swing types, have been found to be due to oversizing which results in noisy operation and premature wear of the moving parts. Referring again to Figure 2-6, it will be noted that the pressure drop, at the point where the two curves representing check valves deviate from a straight line, is about 1to 2 pounds per square inch. This value will vary somewhat for different valve designs depending upon the relative weight and size of the disc; however, it has been found to be a good "rule of thumb" to size check valves so that the pressure drop in the fully open position is about 2 psi in lift checks and about Yi psi in swing checks. This rule applies only to check valves designed on the basis of estab lished fundamental considerations which assure a
full disc lift at low flow rates. On some poorly designed lift check valves, tests have shown that the disc will not lift fully even at extremely high flow rates. In many cases, application of this rule will result in check valves smaller in size than the pipe line; however, the actual pressure drop will be little, if any, higher than that of a full size valve which is used in other than a wide open position.
The losses due to sudden contraction and enlarge ment which will occur in such an installation with bushings or reducing flanges can be readily calculated from the data given on page A-26. If tapered reduc ers are used, the loss due to gradual contraction at the inlet to the smaller size valve is partially com pensated for by the corresponding gradual enlarge ment on the outlet side, so that the added pressure drop due to these effects is minor.
In-line ball check valves

Figure 2-11 should be in
stalled in a horizontal posi
tion wherever possible. In
this position, the flow re
quired to move the disc,
to the fully open position
is very low and the valves can be full size to match the pipe line; this will result in low pressure drop
Figure 2-11

at all flow rates. If it is necessary to install this
type of valve in a vertical line, due to piping arrange
ment or for other reasons, it should be sized so that
the flow rate will be sufficient to cause a pressure
drop of about 2J^ psi across the valve. This will
provide full disc lift and prevent noisy operation and
premature wear of parts.

Resistance Coefficient K, Equivalent Length L/D, . And Flow Coefficient Cv
The numerous types of valves and fittings and the great variety of service conditions make it virtually impossible to obtain test data on every size and type of valve and fitting used today. For this reason, it is desirable to find a means for utilizing the limited test data which are available. Severa' methods of accomplishing this have been devised; the most commonly used are the "equivalent length", "resistancecoefficient", and "flowcoefficient".
Velocity in a pipe is obtained at the expense of static head, and decrease in static head due to velocity is:
h = -->
U
Equation 2-1
'
which is defined as the "velocity head". Flow through a valve or fitting in a pipe line also causes a reduction in static head which may be expressed in terms of velocity head. The resistance coefficient K in the equation
similarity is shown in Figure 2-13 where a 12-inch standard elbow has been drawn to 1/6 scale of a 2-inch standard elbow, so that their port diameters are iden tical. The flow paths through the two fittings drawn to these scales would also have to be identical to have geometric similarity; in addition, the relative roughness of the surfaces would have to be similar.
Figure 2-14 on the opposite page is based on the analysis of extensive test data from various sources. The K coefficients for a number of lines of valves and fittings have been plotted against size. It will be noted that the slopes of the K curves show a definite tendency to follow the same slope as the /(L/D) curve for straight pipe. It is probably coin cidence that the effect of geometric dissimilarity between different sizes of the same line of valves or fittings upon the resistance coefficient K is similar to that of relative roughness, or size of pipe, upon friction factor.
Equation 2-2
therefore, is defined as the number of velocity heads lost due to the valve or fitting. Also, the same head loss in straight pipe is expressed by the Darcy equation
Equation 2-3
It follows that,

Based on the evidence presented in Figure 2-14, it can be said that the resistance coefficient K, for a given line of valves or fittings, tends to vary with size as does the friction factor / for straight pipe, and that the equivalent length L/D tends toward a con stant for the various sizes of a given line of valves or fittings.
In the flow range of complete turbulence as defined by the Friction Factor Charts, pages A-24 and A-25, the K coefficient for a given size and the L/D value are, of course, constant. In the transition zone, where / for pipe increases with decreasing Reynolds numbers, it is assumed that the value of L/D is con stant and that K varies in the same manner as the friction factor. Limited tests have shown that this is not an exact relationship and that it may vary for different types of valves and fittings; however, since the tendency is in this direction, it is believed to provide more accurate solutions than would the assumption that K is constant for all Reynolds numbers.
It has been found convenient in some branches of the valve industry, particularly in connection with con trol valves, to express the valve capacity and the valve flow characteristics in terms of the flow coeffi cient Cv. The Cv coefficient of a valve is defined as the flow of water at 60 F, in gallons per minute, at a pressure drop of one pound per square 'inch across the valve.
By the substitution of appropriate equivalent units in the Darcy equation, it can be shown that,
Cv = 19'9^ =

Relationship of Equivalent Length L/D and Resistance Coefficient K To Inside Diameter of Connecting Pipe
Tests have shown that the pressure drop due to a
given valve or fitting does not change when the
product is installed with pipe of the same nominal
size but of different thickness. Small variations in
entrance and exit losses caused by mating the valve
ends to variable pipe thicknesses, within reasonable
limits, are insignificant. Since the pressure drop is a
function of the square of the velocity, and velocity is
a function of the square of the internal diameter, it
follows that the equivalent length of a given valve
or fitting, expressed in terms of the pipe to which
it is connected, varies as the fourth power of the in
ternal diameter of the pipe. For example, if the
equivalent length of a %-inch valve is determined
by test to be 100 pipe diameters of Schedule 80 pipe,
its equivalent length will be 169 diameters of Sched
ule 40 pipe, since the ratio of the inside diameters
of the two pipes to the fourth power is 1.69. This
ratio, of course, varies with the different sizes and
thicknesses of pipes. The same relationship applies
to the resistance coefficient K.
'
Computation of pressure drop using equivalent length or K coefficient data established on the basis of this table should be made using pipe dimensions spec ified on pages B-16 to B-18; for installation condi tions not in agreement with the table, the equivalent length in pipe diameters or the K resistance coeffi cient should be multiplied by the ratio of diameters
to the fourth power.

Subscript "a" defines the resistance coefficients with reference to the internal diameter of the pipe in which the valve will be installed.
Subscript "b" defines the known resistance coeffi cients and the internal diameters of the pipe for which these coefficients were established.
In view of this condition, the Crane Engineering Laboratories have established the practice of making all flow tests with pipe having internal diameters normally used with the particular valve or fitting. For this purpose, pipe normally used with the various pressure classes of valves and fittings has been arbi trarily established in accordance with the table shown at the top of page A-30.
This procedure of obtaining equivalent length or K coefficient data with respect to pipe of various in ternal diameters corrects a significant variable that has often been neglected in translating test data and makes possi! e a more accurate prediction of the flow characteristics of untested valves and fittings by comparison of detail dimensions and shapes with tested items.
th*\
Valves with Gradually Increased Ports
Various types of valves are often made with reduced seats and have uniformly tapered ports. Straightthrough valves such as gates and plug cocks, when so designed, are sometimes referred to as venturi valves. When the transition from seat size to port size is uniformly tapered with an angle, approximately 20 degrees or less with the center line, the flow char acteristics may be determined in the same manner as for valves installed with pipe having an inside diam
eter other than that with which the valve was tested.
Tests have shown the effect of tapered port sections upon flow characteristics is minor compared to losses across the valve seat. This applies particularly to valves having relatively high flow resistances.
Equation 2-7 may be used to establish approximate resistance coefficients for reduced seat valves.
Effect of End Connections
Analysis of many tests indicates there is little, if any, justification for assigning different resistance coefficients to a given valve or fitting with varying types of end connections. The difference between
flanged, screwed, and welding ends in this respect has been found to be insignificant. The pressure drop due to unions, couplings, and flanged joints is,
likewise, insignificant.

CHAPTER 2- HOW Op FLUIDS THROUGH VALVES AND FITTINGS

Laminar Flow Conditions
One of the problems in flow of fluids confronting engineers from time to time, for which there is very
meager information, is the resistance of valves and fittings under laminar flow conditions. Flow through straight pipe is adequately covered by the basic flow equation,
(n)f" w(h),
*,**on**
Subscript s refers to the equivalent length in pipe diameters under laminar flow conditions where the Reynolds number is less than 1000.
which is identical to Poiseuille's law for laminar flow when the equation for / in this flow range, / = 64/R,, is included in the formula.
Subscript refers to the equivalent length in
pipe diameters determined from tests in the tur
bulent flow range. Representative values of
equivalent length are given in the table on page
A-30.
F
For solution of these problems, we have developed on the basis of data presented in "Principles of Chemical Engineering" by Walker, Lewis, McAdams and Gilliland24, the empirical relationship between equivalent length in the laminar flow region to that in the turbulent region, namely:
The minimum equivalent length is the length in pipe diameters of the centerline of the actual flow path through the valve or fitting. While laboratory test data supporting this method is meager, reports of field experience indicate that the results obtained agree closely with observed conditions.
" Basis for Design of Charts for Determining Equivalent Length, Resistance Coefficient, and Flow Coefficient
The table on page A-30 lists average equivalent length datt' expressed in pipe diameters abstracted from all available tests. It is not practical to identify all valve and fitting types with the many variations in design which may affect the flow char acteristics. The data- given for globe and angle valves represent actual tests on the variation of designs indicated. By using the data given in this table along with the principles presented from page 2-8 to this point as a basis, reasonable equivalent length values can be'estimated for any valve or fitting upon consideration of design features, such as, the relative area of seat or restricted sections to pipe diameter and the shape of the flow passage.
The chart on page A-31 provides a convenient means of translating equivalent length in pipe diameters as given in the table on page A-30, to equivalent length in feet of, pipe for any given size of valve or fitting. Alsci the resistance coefficient K can be readily determined from this chart for any size, if the resistance coefficient or equivalent length for any other size of the same item has been estab lished, either by experiment or estimate.
The chart on page A-3 2 gives a graphical solution of Equation 2-5 and permits a ready determination of Cv if K is known. An example- illustrating the use of this chart is given on page 4-2.
Limitations of charts: As explained on page 2-8 and at the top of this page, the value of L/D for a given type of valve or fitting is considered to be constant for flow conditions resulting in Reynolds
numbers of 1000 or greater. Equivalent lengths either in pipe diameters or feet of pipe, as determined from pages A-30 or A-31, are therefore legitimate for all flow conditions except in the laminar flow range where the Reynolds number is less than 1000. For Reynolds numbers less than 1000, values of L/D must be determined in accordance with Equation 2-8.
On the other hand, values of K, as determined from pages A-31 and A-32, are legitimate only for flow conditions resulting in Reynolds numbers falling in the completely turbulent flow range, as defined by the friction factor on pages A-24 and A-25. At lower flow rates, values of K vary in approximately the same manner as does the value of friction factor with Reynolds number. At the lower flow rates, the value of K as determined from pages A-31 and A-32 should be multiplied by the ratio:
/ (at calculated Reynolds number)
/ (in range of complete turbulence, where / is constant)
When K has been corrected for flow in the transition or laminar flow range, Cv can be obtained directly from page A-32 by employing the corrected K factor. However, if the Cv factor is furnished for the com pletely turbulent flow range, as defined by the friction factor charts on pages A-24 and A-25, it must be corrected by multiplying it by the ratio,
/ (in range of complete turbulence, where / is constant) / (at calculated Reynolds number)
since Cv varies inversely with the square root of the
friction factor.

Other Resistances to Flow
In addition to the resistance due to valves and fit tings already discussed, losses due to sudden enlarge ment and sudden contraction are encountered when ever fittings such as reducing or increasing flanges, bushings, etc., are used. Also, when a fluid enters or leaves an open end pipe, entrance and exit losses occur. As in the case of valves and fittings, these losses can be expressed by the formula:
hL = K -- n
Unlike most other fittings, there is no length involved in losses due to these conditions; thus, relative rough ness is not a factor in these resistances, and geometric
similarity does exist. The resistance due to sudden enlargement and sudden contraction, as well as en trance and exit losses expressed in terms of velocity head or K factor, are therefore independent of pipe size. Resistance coefficient K for such conditions are given on page A-26.
Equivalent lengths corresponding to these resistance coefficients for any size can be readily determined from the chart on page A-31. For example, the equiv alent lengths of sharp edged entrances (K = 0.5) to 2 and 6-inch pipes can be read from the nomograph on page A-31 as 26 diameters of 2-inch pipe and 33 diameters of 6-inch pipe, respectively.

CHAPTER 2 - FLOW OF FLUIDS THROUGH VALVES AND FITTINGS
Flow Through Nozzles and Orifices
The discharge of fluids through nozzles and orifices has been subject to continued investigation and, as a result, well-established data are still being supplemented. A portion of the subject is covered on these facing pages but more complete references will be found in the Bib liography8' > I0, or from the data supplied by meter manufacturers.

Orifices and nozzles are normally used in piping sys tems as metering devices and are installed with flange taps or pipe taps in' accordance with ASME specifications. The values of hL and AP in Equation 2-14 are the measured differential static head or pressure across flange taps when values of C are taken from page A-19. The flow coefficient C is plotted for Reynolds numbers based on the internal diameter of the upstream pipe.
Flow of liquids: For nozzles and orifices discharg ing incompressible fluids to atmosphere, C values may be taken from page A-19 if hi or AP in Equa tion 2-14 is taken as the upstream head or gauge pressure. For most conditions of flow of fluids hav

The expansion factor Y is a function of:
1. The specific heat ratio, k.
2. The ratio of orifice or throat diameter to inlet diameter.
3. Ratio of downstream to upstream absolute pressures.
This factor9-10 has been experimentally determined on the basis of air, which has a specific heat ratio of 1.4, and steam having specific heat ratios of approx imately 1.3, The data is plotted on page A-20 and values of other specific heat ratios have been included to extend the use of the data. Values of k for some of the common vapors and gases are given on pages A-8 and A-9. The specific heat ratio, k, may vary slightly for different pressures and temperatures, but for most practical problems the values given will provide reasonably accurate results.
Equation 2-15 may be used for orifices discharging compressible fluids to atmosphere by using:
1. Flow coefficient C given on page A-19 in the Reynolds number range where C is a constant for the given diameter ratio.
2. Expansion factor Y per page A-20.
3. Differential pressure AP, equal to the inlet gauge pressure.
This also applies to nozzles discharging compressible fluids to atmosphere only if the absolute inlet pres sure is less than the absolute atmospheric pressure divided by the critical pressure ratio re\ this is discussed on the next page. When the absolute inlet pressure is greater than this amount, flow through nozzles should be calculated as outlined on the following page.

Maximum flow of compressible fluids in a noz zle: A smoothly convergent nozzle has the property of being able to deliver a compressible fluid up to the velocity of sound in its minimum cross section or throat, providing the available pressure drop is sufficiently high. Sonic velocity is the maximum velocity that may be attained in the throat of a nozzle (supersonic velocity is attained in a gradually divergent section following the convergent nozzle, when sonic velocity exists in the throat).
The critical pressure ratio is the largest ratio of downstream pressure to upstream pressure capable of producing sonic velocity. Values of critical pres
sure ratio re, which depend upon the ratio of nozzle
diameter to upstream diameter as well as the specific
heat ratio k, are given on page A-21.
Flow through nozzles and venturi meters is limited
by critical pressure ratio, and minimum values of Y
to be used in Equation 2-15 for this condition, are indicated on page A-20 by the termination of the curves at PVP'i = re.
Equation 2-15 may be used for discharge of com pressible fluids through a nozzle to atmosphere, or to a downstream pressure lower than indicated by the critical pressure ratio r,, by using values of:
Y .... minimum per page A-20 C ... . page A-19 AP . . P'i (1 -- re); rc per page A-21
p .... weight density at upstream condition
Flow through short tubes: Since complete experi mental data for the discharge of fluids to atmos
phere through short tubes (L/D is less than, or equal
to, 2.5 pipe diameters)1 are not available, it is sug gested that reasonably accurate approximations may be obtained by using Equations 2-14 and 2-15, with values of C somewhere between those for orifices and nozzles, depending upon entrance conditions.
If the entrance is well rounded, C values would tend to approach those for nozzles, whereas short tubes with square entrance would have characteristics similar to those for square edged orifices.
Discharge of Fluids Through Valvesf Fittings, and Pipe
Liquid flow: To determine the flow of liquid through pipe, the Darcy formula is used. Equation 1-4 (page 1-6) has been converted to more convenient terms in Chapter 3 and has been rewritten as Equation 3-14. The form of Equation 3-14 which is most applicable to liquid flow is written in terms of flow rate in gallons per minute.

Compressible flow: When a compressible fluid flows from a piping system into an area of larger cross sec tion than that of the pipe, as in the case of discharge to atmosphere, a modified form of the Darcy formula. Equation 1-11 developed on page 1-9, is used.

Formulas and Nomographs For Flow Through
Valves, Fittings, and Pipe
CHAPTER 3
Only basic formulas needed for the presentation of the theory of fluid flow through valves, fittings, and pipe were presented in the first two chapters of this paper. In the summary of formulas given in this chapter, the basic formulas are rewritten in terms of units which are most commonly used in this country. This summary provides the user with an equation which will enable him to arrive at a solution to his problem with a minimum conversion of units.
Nomographs presented ,1 this chapter are graphical solutions of the flow formulas applying to pipe. Valve and fitting flow problems may also be solved by means of these nomographs by determining their equivalent length in terms of feet of straight pipe.
Due to the wide variety of terms and the variation in the physical properties of liquids and gases, it was necessary to divide the nomographs into two parts: the first part (pages 3-6 to 3-15) pertains to liquid flow, and the second part (pages 3-16 to 3-25), pertains to compressible flow.
All nomographs for the solution of pressure drop prob lems are based upon Darcy's formula, since it is a general formula which is applicable to all fluids and can be applied to all types of pipe through the use of the Moody Friction Factor Diagram. Darcy's form ula also provides a means of solving problems of flow through valves and fittings on the basis of equivalent length or resistance coefficient. Nomographs provide simple, rapid, practical, and reasonably accurate solu tions to flow formulas and the decimal point is accu rately located.
Accuracy of a nomograph is limited by the available page space, length of scales, number of units provided on each scale, and the angle at which the connecting line crosses the scale. Whenever the solution of a problem falls beyond the range of a nomograph, the slide rule or arithmetical solution of the formula must be employed.

Limitations of Darcy formula
Non-compr***lbl* flow; liquid*;
The Darcy formula may be used without restriction for the flow of water, oil, and other liquids in pipe. However, when extreme velocities occurring in pipe cause the downstream pressure to fall to the vapor pressure of the liquid, cavitation occurs and cal culated flow rates are inaccurate.
Compr*iibla flow; gam and vapor*:
When pressure drop is less than 10% of Pi> use p or
V based on either inlet or outlet conditions.
When pressure drop is greater than 10% of Pi but
less than 40% of Pi, use the average of p or V
based on inlet and outlet conditions, or use Equa
tion 3-20.
When pressure drop is greater than 40% of Pi, use
the rational or empirical formulas given on this
page for compressible- flow, or use Equation 3-20
(for theory, see page i-q).

Head loss and pressure drop through valves and fittings
Head loss through valves and fittings is generally given in terms of resistance coefficient K which indicates static head loss through a valve in terms of "velocity head", or, equivalent length in pipe diameters L/D that will cause the same head loss as the valve.
From Darcy's formula, head loss through a pipe is:

Pressure Drop in Liquid Lines for Laminar Flow
Pressure drop can be calculated from the formula below, or, from the nomograph on the opposite page, only when the flow is laminar. The nomograph is a graphical solution of the formula.
Flow is considered to be laminar at Reynolds number of 2000 or less; therefore, before using the formula or nomo graph, determine the Reynolds number from the for mula on page 3-2 or the nomograph on page 3-9.

Head loss or pressure drop is measured across the flange taps.
Example 2 Given: The flow of water, at 60 F through a 6-inch Schedule 40 pipe, is to be restricted to 225 gpm by means of a square edged orifice, across which there will be a differential head of 4 feet of water.
Find: The size of the orifice opening.
Solution:

CHAPTER 3 -- FORMULAS AND NOMOGRAPHS FOR FLOW THROUGH VALVES, T1TTINGS, AND PIPE
Simplified Flow Formula for Compressible Fluids Pressure Drop, Rate of Flow, and Pipe Size
CRANE
The simplified flow formula for compressible fluids is accurate for fully turbulent flow; in addition, its use provides a good approximation in calculations involving compressible fluid flow through wrought iron or com mercial steel pipe for most normal flow conditions.
If velocities are low, friction factors assumed in the simplified formula may be too low; in such cases, the
l) formula and nomograph shown on pages 3-20 and 3-21
may be used to provide greater accuracy.
The Darcy formula can be written in the following form:
APioo = W<0>-.000^3636//)) v = (^o-^Hbooo/^
Values of Ci W Ci
Ci = Vi^io-8
n 336000/
Cs = ----- ^------
The simplified flow formula can then be written:
APioo = C,C*V = ClCi
P
Ci = APlOO CjV
APioo P Ci
q _ APioo _ APioo P CiV Ci
Ci = discharge factor from chart at right. t Ci -- size factor, from table on next page.
The limitations of the Darcy formula for compre sible flow, as outlined on page 3-3, apply also to the simplified flow formula.
Example 1 Given: Steam at 345 psig and 500 F flows through 8-inch Schedule 40 pipe at a rate of 240,000 pounds per hour.
Find: The pressure drop per 100 feet of pipe.
Solution: Ci = 57 C2 = 0.146 V = 1.45 .............. page 3-17 or A-15
APioo = 57 x 0.146 x 1.45 = 12
Example 2
Given: Pressure drop is 5 psi with 100 psig air at 90 F flowing through 100 feet of 4-inch Schedule 40 pipe.
Find: The flow rate in standard cubic feet per minute.
Solution: APioo = 5.0
Ci = 5-17

Example 3
Given: An 85 psig saturated
steam line with 20,000 pounds per hour^flow is permitted a maximum pressure drop of 10 psi per 100 feet of pipe.
Find: The smallest size of Schedule 40 pipe suitable.
Solution:
AP100 = 10 Ci = 0.4
V = 4.5 ...........page 3-17 or A-13 C2 = 10 -s- (0.4 x 4.5) = 5.56
Reference to the table of C2 values above shows that the 4-inch size is the smallest Schedule 40 pipe having a C2 value less than 5.56!
The actual pressure drop per 100 feet of 4-inch Schedule 40 pipe is:
AP100 = 0.4 x 5.17 x 4-5 = 9.3

Examples of
Flow Problems
Theory and answers to questions regarding proper application of formulas to flow problems can be presented to good advan tage by the solution of practical problems. A few simple flow problems were presented in Chapter 3 to illustrate the use of the nomographs. Other problems, both simple and com plex, are presented in this chapter.
Many of the examples given in this chapter employ the basic formulas of Chapters 1 and 2; these formulas were rewritten in more commonly used terms for Chapter 3. Use of nomographs, when applicable, are indicated in the solution of these problems.
The controversial subject regarding the selection of a formula most applicable to the flow of gas through long pipe lines is analyzed in Chapter 1. It is shown that the three commonly used formulas are basically identical, the only difference being in fie selection of friction factors. A comparison of results obtained, using the three formulas, is presented in this chapter.
An original method has been developed for the solution of prob lems Involving the discharge of compressible fluids from pipe systems. Illustrative examples applying this method demonstrate the simplicity of handling these, heretofore complex, problems.

Physical Properties of Fluids and Flow Characteristics of Valves, Fittings, and Pipe
APPENDIX A
'The physical properties of many commonly used
fluids are required for the solution of flow problems.
These properties, compiled from many varied refer
ence sources, are presented in this appendix. The
convenience of a condensed presentation of these
data will be readily apparent. .
.
Most texts on the subject of fluid mechanics cover in detail the flow through pipe, but the flow character istics of valves and fittings are given little, if any, attention, probably because the information has not been available. A means of estimating the re sistance coefficients for valves, deviating in minor detail from the standard forms for which the coeffi cients are known, is presented in Chapter %.
The Y net expansion factors for discharge of compres sible fluids from piping systems, which are presented here for the first time, provide means for a greatly simplified solution of a heretofore complex problem.

The curves for hydrocarbon vapors and natural gases in the chart at the upper right are taken from Maxwell15; the curves for all other gases in the chart are based upon Sutherland's formula, as
follows:
Q-555 To + h Ho ,0-555 T +
where:
jx = viscosity, in centipoise at
temperature T.
'
Ho = viscosity, in centipoise at
temperature To
T -- absolute temperature, in de
grees Rankine (460 + deg. F) for which viscosity is desired.
To = absolute temperature, in de
grees Rankine, for which vis cosity is known.
C = Sutherland's constant.
Note: The variation of viscosity with pressure is small for most gases. For gases given on this page, the correction of viscosity for pressure is less than 10 per cent for pressures up to 500 pounds per square inch.

5.40 The table at the left is cal-
5.28 5.18
5.08
culated for the perfect gas law shown at the top of the
4.99 page. Correction for super
4.90 compressibility, the devia
4.81 4.73
tion from the perfect gas
4.65 law, would be less than
4.57 three percent and has not
4.50 4.32
been applied.

4.00 3.86
The weight density of gases other than air can be deter
3.73 mined from this table by
3.61 3.39
multiplying the density
3.19 listed for air by the specific
3.01 gravity of the gas relative
2.86 2.72
to air, as listed in the tables
2.59 on page A-8.

Problem: Determine the total re sistance coefficient for a pipe one diameter long having a sharp edged entrance and a sharp edged exit.
Solution: The resistance of pipe one diameter long is small and can be neglected (K -- f L/D).
From the diagrams, note:
Resistance for a sharp edged entrance = 0.5
Resistance for a sharp edged exit
= 1.0
Then, the total resistance, K, for the pipe = 1.5

Resistance of Bends
Resistance of 90 Degree Bends21
The chart at the right shows the resistance of qo degree bends to the flow of fluids in terms of equivalent lengths of straight pipe.
Resistance of bends greater than qo degrees
is found using the formula:
,,
-r,+o-o(r,+&)
n = total number of *50 bends in coil R, = total resistance due to one 90 bend, in L/D R i = resistance due to length of one 90 bend, in L/D Rs = bend resistance due to one 90 bend, in L/D
Problem: Determine the equivalent lengths in pipe diameters of a qo degree bend and a 270 degree bend having a relative radius of 12,
Solution: Referring to the "Total Resist ance" curve, the equivalent length for a 90 degree bend is 34.5 pipe diameters.
The equivalent length of a 270 degree bend is:
L/D = 34.5 + (3 - 0 [18.7 + (15.8 2)] L/D = 87.7 pipe diameters
Note: This loss is less than the sum of losses through three qo degree bends separated by tangents. For "resistance of bends theory", see page 2-i2. '

To convert absolute or dynamic viscosity from one set of units to another, locate the given set of units in the left hand column and multiply the numerical value by the factor shown horizontally to the right under the set of units desired.
As an example, suppose a given absolute viscosity of z poise is to be converted to slugs/foot second. By referring to the table, we find the conversion factor to be 2.09 (io-3). Then, z (poise) times z.og (io-3)' = 4.18 (10-3) = 0.00418 slugs/foot second.

To convert kinematic viscosity from one set of units to another, locate the given set of units in the left hand column and multiply the numerical value by the factor shown horizontally to the right, under the set of units desired.
As an example, suppose a given kinematic viscosity of 0.5 square foot/second is to be converted to centistokes. By referring to the table, we find the con version factor to be 92,900. Then, 0.5 (sq ft/sec) times 92,900 = 46,450 centistokes.

Boiler Capacity
The output of a steam generating plant is often expressed in pounds of steam delivered per hour. Since the steam out put may vary in temperature and pressure, the boiler capac ity is more completely expressed as the heat transferred in Btu per hour. Boiler capacity is usually expressed as kilo Btu (kB)/hour which is 1000 Btu/hour, or mega Btu (mB)/ hour which is 1,000,000 Btu/hour. The boiler capacity is:
----------- -- in kilo Btu/hour . 1000
hc -- hf = change in enthalpy, Btu/lb
An older expression of boiler capacity in terms of an irra tional unit called "boiler horsepower" may be expressed:
V (h,, - hr) _ #3310 970.3 X 34* 5 ~
That is, one boiler horsepower is equivalent to 34.5 pounds of water evaporated per hour at Standard Atmospheric Pressure and a temperature of 212 F.
1 boiler horsepower = horsepower/13.1547 horsepower = 550 ft-lb/sec.
1 Btu = 778.2 ft-lb
1 Btu = 252 calories
1 kw-hr = 3412.20 Btu
.
Horsepower of an Engine
P = Mean effective pressure per square inch of the steam on the piston
L = Length of stroke, in feet A = Area of piston, in square inches N = Number of strokes per minute
then,

The approximate mean effective pressure in the cylinder when the valve cuts off at:
14 stroke, equals steam pressure x .597 yz stroke, equals steam pressure x .670

APPENDIX B-ENGINEERING DATA
Four-Place Logarithms to Base 10
CRANE
The logarithms to base 10 of numbers between 1 and 10, correct to four places, are given in the tables shown on this and the following page.
If the decimal point in the number is moved n places to the right (or left), the value of n (or -- n) is added to the logarithm, thus:
log 3.14 =0.4969
log 314. =0.4969 +2 or 2.4969
_
log .0314 = 0.4969 -- 2, which may be written 2.4969 or 8.4969-10
If the given number has more than four significant
figures, it should be reduced to four figures, since
those beyond four figures will not affect the result
in four-place computations.
The logarithm of a number having four significant figures must be interpolated by adding to the loga rithm of the three figure number, the amount under
the fourth figure, as read in the proportional parts section of the table.
Thus, the logarithm of 3.1416 is found as follows:
a. Reduce the number to four significant figures: 3.142 b. The log of 3.14 is .4969 c. The value of the proportional part under 2
(the fourth figure) is 3 d. Then, the log 3.142 =0.4969+.0003 or 0.4972
Natural logarithms: Many calculations make use of natural logarithms (Base e -- 2.7183). To con vert base 10 (common) logarithms to natural loga rithms, multiply the value for the former by 2.30258.
Natural logarithms are also called Hyperbolic or Naperian logarithms.

For pipe lengths other than 100 feet, the pressure drop is proportional to the
length. Thus, for 50 feet of pipe, the pressure drop is approximately one-half
the value given in the table ... for 300 feet, three times the given value, etc.

where:
"P" is the inlet or average gauge pressure in pounds per square inch, and,
"t" is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit under consideration.
The cubic feet per minute of compressed air at any pres sure is inversely proportional to the absolute pressure and directly proportional to the absolute temperature.
To determine the cubic feet per minute of compressed air at any temperature and pres sure other than standard con ditions, multiply the value of cubic feet per minute of free air by the ratio:
