Where can I find .................

adambuild

a chart that tells me which Gorton (and how many) main stem vents are necessary based on pipe length and diameter?

Steamhead (in transit)

Dan had the pipe capacity chart

in his Dead Men's Steam School workbook, but it's not showing up in Books and More. We'd need to ask Dan about that. Gerry Gill and Steve Pajek produced a venting e-book, go here to order it:

but it doesn't have the pipe capacity chart.

For now, post the pipe length and diameter here and we'll help you out.

Venting Charts...

adambuild,

There are venting tables in the "books and more" section,
fine work by Gerry Gill & Steve Pajek, all proceeds go
to charity, an "excellent value" at the price and you get to help your fellows in the bargain.

HTH and Happy Steaming, Regards, db

Quick on the draw Mr. Steam, i'm gettin old!

I know there are pipe volume charts on other sites (probably in Burnham's Heating Helper?)but I just use the math, pi x r squared x 12 (in./ft.) x the length in feet, and divide by 1728. That gives an approximate volume in cu. ft.

For example, 55 feet of 2" main would be approx. 3.1416 x 1 x 12 x 55 / 1728 = 1.1999 cu. ft.
