† Weights are based on low-carbon steel with a density of 0.2833 lb/in³. For other metals multiply by the following factors:
Aluminum...........................................0.35		Aluminum brass....................1.06
Titanium..............................................0.58		Nickel-chrome-iron..............1.07
AISI 400 series stainless steels...0.99		Admiralty.................................1.09
AISI 300 series stainless steels...1.92		Nickel and nickel-copper.....1.13
Aluminum bronze..............................1.04		Copper and cupronickels....1.14
↨ Liquid velocity = (lb per tube per h / C x sp gr of liquid) in ft / s [sp gr of water at 16^oC (60^oF) = 1.0]
