Chimneys recommended for larger boilers 15 to 250 hp. are propor tioned in accordance with the report made by a joint Committee of the American Boiler Manufacturers Association and Stoker Manufacturers Association and approved by these organizations. The sizes are given in Table 2.

", Friction loss through boiler varies according to construction. For Furnace Draft.--Allow 0.15 for forced draft. For Natural Draft 0.35 in. or higher should be used
depending upon rate of combustion and fuel used. For Breeching Friction Loss.--Allow 0.05 in. for each right angle bend and 0.1 in. per 100 ft. of length.
Cross sectional area should be 20 per cent larger than that of stack.

The principal factors which affect the loss of . draft through the fuel bed according to J. G. Mingle,1 are:
1. Character of fuel burned,
2. Amount of fuel burned per square foot of
grate surface per hour, or the rate of com
bustion.
-
The loss of draft through the boiler is affected mainly by:
1. Type and size of boiler, 2. Rate of operation.
The required height of a chimney is affected by the following:
1. Character of fuel burned, 2. Rate of combustion,
