Packing-houses
The location of the nozzles at a distance of about four feet apart
seems to be ample for most purposes. The outlet opening should be about
one-half inch, valve controlled to suit. It is well to arrange long
length of pipe so that each cock is supplied with an equal quantity of
brine by use of forked connections on a complete supply circuit.
=Galvanized Sheet Iron Pipes.=--For room cooling, formerly used to a
considerable extent was sheet iron pipes. The three-inch galvanized
iron spiral riveted pipe is recommended, or where this is not readily
obtainable three-inch galvanized iron crimp-joint and soldered seam
pipe may be substituted. While not quite so substantial as the spiral
riveted pipe, it will, with ordinary care and attention last a long
time.
The use of spiral riveted pipe has been found unnecessary, provided
No. 24 gauge metal is used in lock seamed pipe. Open-hearth steel,
galvanized, is preferable to Bessemer. The writer experienced one
failure with the latter.

Ten different pieces of this pipe ten feet long were capped on either
end and submitted to a hydrostatic pressure test; the bursting pressure
average of the ten pieces was found to be 146 pounds to the square
inch, while some of the samples stood a pressure of over 180 pounds to
the square inch. In actual practice the pipe used for this purpose is
never subjected to a pressure exceeding forty pounds to the square inch.
=Coil Rooms.=--Fig. 24 shows the end view of the cooler with the detail
of the hangers on which the pipe rests. Fig. 25 shows the end view of
one bay with the pipe located and connected.

=Quantity of Pipe.=--In brine pipe refrigeration for cattle the author
would recommend to each sixteen-foot bay, eight series of three-inch
galvanized spiral riveted pipes with six pipes in each series. These
make a total of forty-eight pipes for the fore-cooler, where the
largest proportion of pipe is needed, and forty pipes per section in
storage beef cooler. For hog coolers forty-eight pipes per section
throughout is recommended.
