Experiments on the Discharge of A 30-in. Stop Valve
In connection with the measurement of the flow of the Pequannock River and the operation of the water supply system built by the East Jersey Water Company for the city of Newark, N. J., it became desirable to ascertain the discharge of certain 30-in. stop valves at the outlets of the storage reservoirs. The author was directed by the chief engineer, Clemens Herschel, M. Am. Soc. C. E., to make the necessary gaugings, a brief description of which, with a tabulation of results obtained, may be of interest to members of this Society. Opportunities for making careful experiments of this kind are comparatively rare, and when they do arise it seems to the author that the results should be placed where they may be of general use to members of the profession, such description being presented in as brief a form as is consistent with entire clearness and still be sufficiently detailed to serve as a true guide for their further application.
