The authors of the formula suggest the following values of C w : 
For masonry conduits of concrete or plaster, with very smooth surfaces, when 
clean, values of C w =140 may be observed. Generally, such surfaces become slime 
covered, reducing the values of C w to 130 or less in a moderate length of time; and 
if the surfaces are only a little less smooth, say in such shape as is represented by 
ordinarily good work, the value of C w is reduced to 120. 
It is to be remembered that at the time the above recommendation 
was made there were very few experimental data upon the carrying 
capacity of cement-plastered and concrete pipes or conduits. How- 
ever, with all the data now available, the writer does not make any 
material difference in his recommendation given on page 64.

Moritz suggests reducing the above coefficient of 1.31 from 5 to 10 
per cent for " jointed pipes, depending upon the amount of care used 
in producing a smooth interior surface." 
(/) For the reasons set forth on pages 45 to 49 the writer offers 
the following formula, which differentiates between various classes 
of concrete pipes by means of a coefficient C s . This formula is new 
to the extent of suggested coefficients only.

Class 1. C s = 0.267. For old California cement pipe lines. It 
appears to have been the general practice throughout southern 
California during the early eighties to lay the pipes with a gen- 
erous supply of mortar and make little or no effort to remove the 
" mortar squeeze" at the joints; hence these pipes, even though 
perfectly clean, offer great retardation to the flow of water. This 
coefficient is also recommended for pipes of class 2 used to convey 
sewage. The present practice is to wipe all joints carefully and the 
resulting surface approaches that of class 2.
