Experiments on the Flow of Water in a 48-inch Pipe
These experiments are a part of the series made upon the Boston Water Works a few years since, and a brief mention of them has already been made in a previous paper. The chief interest in them is due to the fact that they are beyond the limit of previous carefully conducted pipe experiments, both in size of pipe and volume of water. The pipe was on the line of the Sudbury Conduit, being used to carry water across a valley. It was a cast-iron pipe, coated with Dr. Angus Smith's coal-tar preparation, and several measurements showed that it had been cast very exactly 48 inches in diameter. The different sections, each 12 feet long, fitted one another well. In plan the pipe was straight. In elevation it was sloping at either side of the valley at the rate of 17 feet per 100, and between these slopes, in the bottom of the valley, it was nearly level and under a head of 48 feet. The length of the level portion was 1 124 feet, being a little more than two-thirds of the total length of 1 747 feet.
