reliable, because as a rule the chimney is designed by an engineer and must be well built to sustain such a heavy load and the height is such as to produce considerable head or force to offset unfavorable weather con ditions, etc. Chimneys in this class produce about 0.009 in. draft per ft. of height in zero weather with 600 deg. in the stack according to the
formula:
where
P = H (TM-)
\ io
*8 /
P = draft pressure in inches of water. H = height of chimney in feet. To = absolute temperature of outside air. rs = absolute temperature of stack gases.
For low-pressure heating boilers, water heaters and warm air furnaces conservative modern practice in the matter of chimney sizes is in accord ance with the_ accompanying schedule, Table 61:

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 62)

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. Lross sectional area should be 20 per cent larger tliau that of 6tack.
