the coefficient of friction based on the rule that the coefficient of friction varies inversely as the 2/7 power of the diameter, and inversely as the 1/7 power of the velocity. The chart in Fig. 2 is based on a loss of one velocity head (at a velocity of 2000 fpm) in a length equal to 50 diameters

of 24 in. round galvanized iron duct of the usual construction. Although this chart is laid out for a value of C equivalent to 50, it may be used for other values of C by varying the friction inversely as this constant.. For example, if a rougher pipe is used with 40 as the value of C, the friction loss as read from the chart should be multiplied by 50 -f- 40.
