Glass 2. (7 S = 0.310.' For modern "dry-mix" concrete pipe and 

 monolithic concrete pipe or tunnel linings made over rough wood 

 forms. Also for surfaces as left by cement gun process. This 

 coefficient should be used for pipes as commonly made at the present 

 time in the west coast States; that is, in 2-foot sections, with a dry 

 mixture, afterwards washed with cement mortar on the inside, the 

 work of manufacture and laying being done by contract under little 

 or no inspection. Under favorable conditions, such as clear water 

 to be conveyed, carefully made joints and thorough inspection, this 

 class may be made to approach class 3, but unless sure of his con- 

 ditions the designer should use class 2 (for which Table 6 has been 

 prepared). This is especially true for pipes less than 12 inches in 

 diameter, because of the difficulty in making smooth joints. 



Class 8. C s = 0.345. For small " wet-mix" pipe in short units; 

 for " dry-mix" pipes in long units; for average monolithic pipe made 

 on steel forms. These pipes may be evenly washed with cement 

 mortar or asphaltum. For small cement-lined iron pipes and for 

 concrete pipe made under pressure with interior coating of neat cement 

 applied by a mechanical "trowel." To be used for pipes of class 

 4 when the water contains detritus or the line is to be used to con- 

 vey sewage. (See Tables 7 and 8.) 



Class 4- C s = 0.370. For glazed-interior pipe lines; for large 

 cement-lined iron pipes; for monolithic pipe lines where joint scars 

 and all interior surface irregularities are removed. Particularly ap- 

 plicable to jointed lines of units made from wet, well-spaded concrete, 

 deposited against oiled steel forms and allowed to set firmly before 

 forms are stripped. The glazed surface resulting from this treatment 

 is to be untouched with brush or other "wash" process and the units 

 are to be so uniform in shape that no shoulders are perceptible to the 

 touch when the line is finished. The finished joints are to be practi- 

 tically as smooth as the rest of the pipe. (See Table 9.) 



This class covers only the highest grade of workmanship and 

 materials. The specifications are rigid, but haVe been and can be 

 attained commercially by an experienced organization. They are 

 difficult to attain in a pipe less than 30 inches in diameter — too small 

 to permit a man to work comfortably inside, and are probably pro- 

 hibitive for sizes less than 12 inches in diameter. A few of the pipes 

 upon which experiments were made appear to have coefficients higher 

 than 0.370, but the writer wishes to be conservative in recommending 

 a coefficient that necessitates a surface so nearly ideal. That is to 

 say, a better surface maj'' be attained in construction than should be 

 anticipated in design. 



All the above formulas will be taken up again after an analysis of the 

 data, and specific recommendations made with regard to each one so 

 that the engineer familiar with one type of formula, not desiring to 

 change to a new one, may have the best suggestions the available data 

 offer in terms familiar to him.
