TYPICAL EXAMPLE
Example in the use of the tables for determining the size of pipe necessary in various parts of the vacuum pump system are shown in the accompanying diagram (Fig. 8):
The equivalent length of run from the source of steam supply A to the farthest radiator supplied by any supply main (or the'radiator on floor g Riser E) is between 600 and 800 ft.--therefore size the entire run according to Column H, Table 18, ob serving Note 4 as regards maximum capacity of up-feed supply risers given in Column K.

Chapter III--Steam Heating Systems and Piping
The equivalent length of run from the source of steam supply A to the farthest radiator supplied by riser D is between 500 and 600 ft.1--therefore size riser D and its branch according to Column G observing Note 4 as regards maximum capacity of up-feed risers given in Column K, Note that the maximum allowable capacity 61 the riser as given in Column K and not Column G, determines the size of some sections of the riser.
