sized from Column C; radiator runouts and undripped riser runou\s from Column L; up-feed risers from Column J; the main riser on a down-feed system from Column C (it will be noted that if Column H is used the drop would exceed the limit of psi); the dry return from Column R; and the wet-return from Column Q.
With a ^-psi drop the sizing would be the same as for -fa psi, except that the steam main and dripped runouts would be sized from Column B, the main riser on a down-feed system from Column B, the dry-return from Column 0, and the wet-return from Column N.
Notes on Gravity One-Pipe Air-Vent Systems
1. Pitch of mains should not be less than 1 in. in 10 ft. 2. Pitch of horizontal runouts to risers and radiators should not be less than $ in. per foot. Where this pitch cannot be obtained, runouts over 8 ft in length should be one size larger than called for in the table. 3. In genera], it is not desirable to have a main less than 2 in. The diameter of the far end of the supply main should not be less than half its diameter at its largest part.

4. Supply mains, runouts to risers, or risers, should be dripped where necessary.
5. Where supply mains are decreased in size they should be dripped, or be provided with eccentric couplings, flush on bottom.
Example S: Size the one-pipe gravity steam Bystem shown in Fig. 19 assuming that this is all there is to the system, or that the riser and main shown involve the longest run on the system.
Solution: The total length of run actually shown is 215 ft. If the equivalent length of run is taken at double this, it will amount to 430 ft, and with a total drop of f psi the drop per 100 ft will be slightly less than A psi._ It would be well in this case to use ^ psi, and this would result in the theoretical sizes indicated in Table 12. These theoretical sizes, however, should be modified by not using a wet-return less than 2 in., while the main supply, g-h, if from the uptake of a boiler, should be made the full size of the main, or 3 in. Also the portion of the main k-m should be made 2 in. if the wet-return is made 2 in.
SIZING PIPING FOR ONE-PDPE VAPOR SYSTEMS
Piping for one-pipe vapor systems is sized so as to permit only a few ounces pressure drop in the system. Otherwise, the method follows that outlined for sizing one-pipe gravity systems.
