the maximum capacities for different parts of the system as given in the tables.
Tables 15 and 16 are for sizing pipe for vapor systems where the equivalent length of run exceeds 200 ft. Table 15 is for systems up to 400 ft. equivalent length and is based upon a total pressure drop of 2 oz. from the source of steam supply to the farthest heating unit. Table 16 is for larger systems where the equivalent length of run from the boiler or source of steam supply does not exceed 600 ft. It is based upon a totalpressure drop of 4 oz. Risers and branches to risers and heating units should not be loaded above their maximum capacity as given in Columns F and G.
Table 17 is a pipe sizing table for small vacuum pump systems where the equivalent length of run from the boiler or source of steam supply to the farthest heating unit ranges from 100 to 600 ft. The table is based

upon a total pressure drop in the entire equivalent length from steam supply to farthest heating unit of 4 oz. Up-feed risers, branches to risers and heating units should not be loaded beyond the maximum capacities given in Columns H and I.
Table 18 is similar to Table 17 and is for larger systems where the equivalent length of run ranges up to 1200 ft. It is based on a total pressure drop of 8 oz. in the entire equivalent length.
In. designing any kind of a heating system it is well to avoid excessive pressure drop in any part of the system. While, under proper design and good workmanship, higher drop may give good results, it is generally not considered good practice to exceed a drop of 1 oz. in 100 ft. equivalent length.
