As would be expected, the velocity of flow in these pipes may be and
generally is considerably higher than the velocity of movement in
masonry channels. Both Tables XV and XVI give considerable range of
coefficients computed and arranged from authoritative sources, and
the coefficients _c_ for Chezy’s formula represent the best hydraulic
practice in connection with such works at the present time. In using
the formula for any special case, great care must be taken to select
a value for _c_ which has been established for conditions as closely
as possible to those in question. This is essential in order that the
results of estimated discharges may not be disappointing, as they
sometimes have been where that condition so necessary to accuracy has
not been fulfilled.
