Steam Piping

Excerpt from Steam Piping: Its Economical Design and Correct Layout Mr. Johnston believes, as a deduction from his own professional observation and experience, that in the majority of industrial plants the steam-piping system has received insufficient attention, and that as a result wastes of both installation investment and operating cost are prevalent. In this volume, consolidated and revised from a series of articles published in the engineering magazine in 1915, he analyzes the factors governing the ?ow of steam in pipes, and presents a group of curves for use in solving the problems of practical installation and determining the most economical size of pipe to select for any given set of conditions.
