A plant replaces a pump for a 100°F water loop. The new pump produces 500 GPM at 100 ft head, but the system only needs 400 GPM. The operator throttles a valve, wasting energy. Section B provides the K-factor for a partially open gate valve. Section C teaches the engineer how to trim the pump impeller using the affinity laws (Flow ∝ Diameter; Head ∝ Diameter²), saving $12,000/year in energy.
The print edition remains valuable for engineers who prefer a physical, offline reference. Its "handsome, cloth-bound" cover and "easy-to-read fold out pages" for comprehensive charts on friction factors are still appreciated by many. With approximately 208 pages, the 1990 edition is dense with information, making it a portable yet powerful resource. hydraulic institute engineering data book

The data book is structured to guide engineers logically through the system design process. It eliminates guesswork by providing raw data and charts for almost every variables in fluid dynamics. Fluid Properties Section B provides the K-factor for a partially
