be found from Table 2 by multiplying the capacities found therein by constants given in Table 7.
Example.--What is the capacity of a 140 ft. 4 in. pipe with an initial pressure of 1 lb. and pressure drop of 2 oz. in the 140 ft. ?
Solution.--From Table 2 jt is found that the capacity of a 100 f.t. 4 in. pipe with 1 lb. initial pressure and 2 oz. pressure drop, is 3475 sq. ft. Multiplying this value by 0.841 the constant for a 140 ft. length as given in Table 7 gives 2922 the capacity for the given conditions.
Example.---What is the capacity of a 100 ft. 4 in. pipe with 2.1b. initial pressure and pressure drop of 1 oz.?
Solution.--From Table 2, find 2457, the capacity of the 4 in. pipe with 1 lb. initial pressure and 1 oz. pressure drop. Multiplying 2457 by 1.03 the constant found in Column 2 of Table 7 for 2 lb. initial pressure gives

T hie 8 is a pipe sizing table for small one-pipe gravity low-pressure
am heating systems. This table was designed to meet the requirestea r tjlose laying out small systems where the equivalent length of
mellfrom the boiler or pressure reducing valve to the farthest radiator is run eater than 200 ft. The capacities are based upon 1 oz. drop in
"Assure per 100 ft., equivalent length of run excepting where the maxium allowable velocity limits the capacity below this value. The
"anacities of supply mains as given in Column B are based upon a pressure d oo of 1 oz. per 100 ft. equivalent length. The capacities of up-feed Hsers as given in Column Care based upon the maximum velocity. The
