TO COMPUTE AMOUNT OF PIPING. 



The available temperature should be 

 from 5 to 10 degrees higher than that 

 actually used. Determine the number 

 of square feet of glass in the roof. 

 Compute the same for the glass on the 

 four sides, also determine the area of 

 the foundation walls and doors and 

 take 1/5 of the latter amount, as only 

 1/5 of heat radiates from the founda- 

 tions as from the glass. Then add 

 these amounts. 



To estimate the radiation surface 

 one square foot of pipe will heat: 



35° — ^1(1° sir. sq. ft. glass area 



40°— 45°.'. 4.07 



45°— 50° 4 



50°— 55° 3.46 



55°— 60° 3 



60°— 65° 2.62 



65°— 70° 2.28 



70°— 75° 1.8 



Divide the number of square feet of 

 glass and equivalent by 2.62 and you 

 will have the number of square feet 

 of pipe surface required to heat a 

 house from 60° to 65°. or divide by 3 

 and you will have the figures for heat- 

 ing a house from 55° to 60°. 



Find the number of linear feet of 

 2-inch pipe required: 



1 111 pipe .344 sq. ft. per linear foot.

3 •■ •• 1.05 



Divide the number of square feet of 

 radiating surface by .621 and the re- 

 sult will be the number of linear feet 

 of 2-inch pipe required. 



If the houses are to be heated by 

 steam, deduct 14 of the radiating sur- 

 face.
