In factories or other buildings the heat given off by machinery, occupants and illumination and that absorbed by the contents of the building should be taken into account. In buildings that are intermit tently heated the extra load due to heating up of a cold system within a stated time must be considered in determining the pipe sizes. GENERAL DATA ON PIPE SIZES The rate of flow of dry steam or steam with a small amount of water flowing in the same direction is in accordance with the general laws of gas flow and is a function of the length and diameter of the pipe, the density of the steam and the pressure drop through the pipe. This rela tionship has been established by Babcock in the formula given at the top of Table 1. In columns 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this table; the numerical values of the factors for different pressure losses, pipe diameters, steam densities and lengths of pipe have been worked out in convenient form so that the steam flowing in any pipe may be calculated by multiplying together the proper factors in each column as shown in the example at the bottom of the table. Table 2 is a basic table giving the theoretical capacities of pipe in square feet of direct cast iron radiation (Based on J4 lb- steam per hour per square foot) and the resulting velocity in feet per second for various pressure drops in ounces per 100 ft. length of pipe with an initial steam pressure of 1 lb. gage. This table was compiled from the values given in Table 1. In using Tables 1 or 2 the total pressure drop figured should never equal or exceed the initial pressure. Example: In a 3 in. pipe, what pressure drop is required in ounces per 100 ft. of length of pipe to supply steam to 2,014 sq. ft. of equivalent radiation? The initial steam pressure is 1 lb. gage. Solution: In Table 2, column for 3 in. pipe, find that steam for 2,014 sq. ft. of equivalent radiation will be supplied at 1 lb. initial pressure and a pressure drop of 3 oz. per 100 ft. length of run. Table 3 is to be used with Table 2 for calculating the capacity of a steam pipe, for other initial pressures and lengths when the capacity is known for 1 lb. pressure and 100 ft. length. To determine the capacity of any pipe under initial pressure other than 1 lb., multiply the capacity given in Table 2 by the pressure factor in Column 2, Table 3, opposite the required pressure indicated in Column 1. Example: What is the capacity of a 100 ft. 4 in. pipe with 2 lb. initial pressure and pressure drop of 1 oz.? Solution: From Table 2, find 2,457, the capacity of the 4 in. pipe with 1 lb. initial pressure and 1 oz. pressure drop. Multiplying 2,457 by 1.03 the constant found in Column 2 of Table 3 for 2 lb. initial pressure gives 2,531 as the capacity of the 4 in. pipe with 2 lb. initial pressure and a pressure drop of 1 oz. per 100 ft. length. To determine the capacity for any length other than 100 ft., multiply the capacity given in.Table 2 by the length factor in Column B, Table 3, opposite the required length in Column A. 335
