What reading level is The Principles of Waterworks Engineering book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Instead of an air-vessel, an iron or steel stand-pipe is often used, in which the water-level oscillates about a mean position corresponding with the average pumplng- head employed. Its height above the most elevated point in the district to be supplied is equal to the head necessary to force the supply through the distributing- and service- pipes. Stand-pipes'are generally situated near the pumps, and are designed of such dimensions that the excess of delivery in each stroke above the mean may... not raise the height of the water in them more than corresponds with the allowable variation of pressure in the mains. In the United States it is a common practice to employ stand- pipes of huge dimensions — we do not allude to those which may be useful as service-tanks (§ 266) : that at Bloomington, Illinois, is 8 feet in diameter and 200 feet high.
151. It will be obser\'ed that, as the flow of the water through reciprocating pumps is necessarily discontinuous, the speed at which they can be worked depends upon the length of the pump-rods, the valve-areas, and the provision Digitized by Google I40 THE COLLECTION OF WATER.
