TABLES FOR PIPE SIZING1
Factors determining the size of a steam pipe and its allowable limit of capacity are as follows:
1. Pipe condensate flowing with steam. 2. Pipe condensate flowing against steam. 3. Pipe and radiator condensate flowing with steam. 4. Pipe and radiator condensate flowing against steam.
It is apparent that (3) and (4) are practically limited to one-pipe systems while (1) and (2) cover all other systems.
Tables 7 and 8, worked out for determining pipe sizes, have their col umns lettered continuously, Columns A through L being in Table 7, and M through EE in Table 8. In the following text, reference made to columns will be by letter. The tables are based on the actual inside diameters of the pipe and the condensation of. ]/i lb (4 oz) of steam per square foot of equivalent direct radiation (abbreviated EDR) per hour. The drops indicated are drops in pressure per 100 ft of equivalent length of run. The pipe is.assumed to be well reamed without unusual or notice able defects.
1Pipe size tables in this chapter have been compiled in simplified and condensed form for the convenience of the user; at the same time all of the information contained in previous editions of The Guide has been retained. Values of pressure drops, formerly expressed in ounces, are now expressed in fractions of a pound.
*As steam system design has materially changed in recent years so that 240 Btu no longer expresses the heat of condensation from a square foot of radiator surface per hour, and as present day heating units have different characteristics from older forms of radiation, it is the purpose of The Guide to gradually eliminate the empirical expression square foot of equivalent direct radiation. EDR, and to substitute a logical unit based on the Btu.. The new terms to express the equivalent of 1000 Btu (Mb), and 1000 Btu per.hour (Mbh), have been approved by .the A.S.H.V.E.

Chapter 16. Piping for Steam Heating Systems
Table 7 may be used for sizing piping for steam heating systems by determining the allowable or desired pressure drop per 100 equivalent feet of run and reading from the column for that particular pressure drop. This applies to all steam mains on both one-pipe and two-pipe systems, vapor systems, and vacuum systems. Columns B to G, inclusive, are used where the steam and condensation flow in the same direction, while Columns H and / are for cases where the steam and condensation flow in opposite directions, as in risers and runouts that are not dripped. Columns J, K, and L are for one-pipe systems and cover riser, radiator valve, and vertical connection sizes, and radiator and runout sizes, all of which are based on the critical velocities of the steam to permit the counter, flow of condensation without noise.
Sizing of return piping may be done with the aid of Table 8 where pipe capacities for wet, dry, and vacuum return lines are shown for the pressure drops pier 100 ft corresponding to the drops in Table 7. It is customary to use the same pressure drop on both the steam and return sides of a system.

Note.--All drops shown are in pounds per 100 ft of equivalent run--based on pipe properly reamed.
Do not use Column H for drops of 1/24 or 1/32 lb; substitute Column C or Column B as required. bDo not use Column J for drop of 1/32 lb except on sizes 3 in. and over; below 3 in. substitute Column B.
On radiator runouts over 8 ft long increase one pipe size over that shown in Table 7.
