Synopsis

Solve common hydraulic problems at a glance with a practical, diagram‑driven toolkit. This edition helps the practicing engineer quickly find accurate results for flows in pipes, channels, sewers, weirs, and fire streams using clear diagrams built on trusted formulas.


Designed to minimize calculation, the book uses slide rules and graph sections to read discharge, velocity, and head directly from diagrams. It emphasizes usable accuracy for everyday projects, acknowledges real‑world variation in pipe sizes and surfaces, and shows how to pair diagrams with standard data for fast, field‑ready results.



  • Step‑by‑step explanation of how to apply the Chezy and related formulas through diagrams

  • Diagrams for flow in small pipes, long pipes, channels, and sewer networks

  • Practical guidance on reading head losses, friction, and discharge from visuals

  • Special sections on fire‑streams, nozzles, pumps, and miscellaneous hydraulic diagrams


Ideal for engineers solving everyday hydraulic questions in the field or office, using a trusted diagrammatic approach.

Product Description

Excerpt from The Graphical Solution of Hydraulic Problems: Treating of the Flow of Water Through Pipes, in Channels and Sewers, Over Weirs, Etc

The diagrams are constructed upon well-known for mulas, using coefficients that are generally accepted as safe for the conditions to which they are intended to apply. While it was intended to have the computations correctly made and carefully Checked, no attempt has been made to secure mathematical refinements, such being in most cases entirely out of place in hydraulic2 graphical solution OF hydraulic problems.
