Note .--Capacities based on K lb. condensation per square foot per hour equivalent radiation and actual diameter ot standard pipe.
NoteS.--Extra length to be added to straight run of pipe, for various fittings and valves to determine equivalent length. (See Table 4).

Determine equivalent length of run then use figures in corresponding Column \B to G) for suing the entire run.
Supply risers are to be proportioned according to the equivalent length of run from the boiler or source of supply to the farthest radiator
on each riser. Determine the distance to the farthest radiator then use figures in that corresponding Column (B to G). for Buing
each riser; providing the amount of radiation for that riser does not exceed amounts shown in Column H. Where riser capacities are found
to be in excess of amounts shown in Column H, step up to necessary siae indicated in that column.

Note 5.--Return mains and risers are.to be proportioned according to the equivalent distance in feet, from farthest radiator to the
vacuum pump; uring capacities in that corresponding Column (L to Q) for sizing entire return riser (Column J) and return main (Column /C).
The return pipe sizes are conservative and are subject to revision upon the completion of pending research investigations.
