Examples
-
Time, = 13,800 sec. Let _x_ = velocity of flow in 16-in. pipe, in feet per second, then 2.56
-
Referring to the profile, it was determined that for the hydraulic grade of 33-1/3 ft. per 1000 ft., a 10-in. pipe was necessary, and that a 16-in. pipe was required for the grade of 3 ft. per 1000 ft.
-
When the third measurement, of May 12th, 1909, also described below, was made, the 10-in. pipe had been replaced by 16-in. pipe, and the hydraulic grade was defined by the solid line, _ABE_.
-
From Fig. 2 it appears that, while the 10-in. line had an initial coefficient of roughness slightly greater than 0.009 and now equal to it, the 16-in. line had one equal at first but now slightly less than
-
-- On March 10th, 1908, a quantity of bran was poured into the upper end of the 10-in. pipe at _A_ (Fig. 2), and the time of its appearance at the lower end of the 16-in. pipe at _E_ was noted.
-
-- The 500 ft. of 10-in. pipe in the 16-in. line near the reservoir (Fig. 2) were replaced by 16-in. pipe in the summer of 1908.
-
A BABCOCK & WILCOX ENGINE, 16-in. cylinder, 42 in. stroke, NEARLY NEW.
-
The mooring cable (bridle) passes through a watertight 16-in. trunk pipe, built vertically in the centre of the buoy, and is secured to a "rocking shackle" on the upper surface of the buoy.

-
The dotted line, _AFE_, is the approximate theoretical position which the grade, _ABCDE_, should have assumed when the 500 ft. of 10-in. pipe were taken out of the 16-in. line.
-
When this section of the line was laid, the last car of 16-in. pipe was late in arriving and, as it was desirable to get water into the reservoir as soon as possible, 500 ft. of 10-in. pipe were laid in the lower part of the 16-in. line, near the reservoir, as indicated on Fig. 2, which shows the hydraulic grades and the pipe diameters of this section of the line.
