Excerpt from Experiments on Hot Water Systems

The experiments described in this book were carried out by Mr. A. Sayers in the Plumbing Workshop of the Municipal Technical Institute, Belfast, during the years 1902, 1903, and 1904.

I was fortunate in having the opportunity of watching the progress and development of the experiments, and I take it that it is for that reason Mr. Sayers has paid me the compliment of asking me to write an introductory statement to his work.

It is interesting to note the steps by which these experiments developed. Shortly after the apparatus described in the book had been erected, a discussion arose as to the rate at which the heated water travelled through the pipes. This led to a proposal to insert thermometers at different points in the pipe system, and to have these read at regular periods during the progress of an experiment. This was done, and a series of temperature readings thus obtained.

How to display the whole of these readings, in such a manner as to exhibit their relation to one another, was the next question that arose, and the consideration of this led to the adoption of the graphical method so freely and so helpfully used throughout the book.

As a constant and very interested observer of the experiments during their progress, I can bear testimony to the care and pains taken to secure complete accuracy in the tabulated data. Mr. Sayers approached the experiments with a genuine enthusiasm, and dealt with the problems that arose in a true spirit of scientific investigation. The practical knowledge which he possesses ensured the practical aspect of the problems he was dealing with being always kept well in view: as a consequence, the results herein recorded should have an especial value to practical men.
