65. The following table shows the length and diameter of leader pipes made from stock sizes of tin, and the length of pipe that may be made from 1 box of tin:
Sheets. | Boxes. | ||||
Diameter of Pipe in Inches. | Number of Sheets. | Size of Sheets in Inches. | Length of Pipe in Feet and Inches. | Number Sheets in Box. | Length of Pipe in Feet. |
6 1/5 | 1 | 14 x 20 | 1' 1 1/2" | 112 | 126 |
4 1/3 | 1 | 14 x 20 | 1' 7 1/2" | 112 | 181 |
4 | 2 | 14 x 20 | 3' 3" | 112 | 182 |
3 1/8 | 1 | 14 x 20 | 2' 3" | 112 | 252 |

If, for example, the leader pipe is to be 4 inches in diameter, and the circumference 12 1/2 inches, it is plain that only one length can be had out of the 14 in. X 20 in. Allowing 1/4-inch lap for each joint at top and bottom, and using two sheets for a length of pipe, we have 20 in. X 2 - 1 in. = 39 inches, or 3 feet 3 inches; and 39 in. x 56, half the number of sheets in a box, gives 182 feet, the length of leader sections that may be constructed from 1 box.
