This formula is the most generally accepted for the flow of steam in
pipes. Table 66 is calculated from this formula and gives the amount of
steam passing per minute that will flow through straight smooth pipes
having a length of 240 diameters from various initial pressures with one
pound difference between the initial and final pressures.
To apply this table for other lengths of pipe and pressure losses other
than those assumed, let L = the length and d the diameter of the pipe,
both in inches; l, the loss in pounds; Q, the weight under the
conditions assumed in the table, and Q_{1}, the weight for the changed
conditions.
For any length of pipe, if the weight
