Worlds Biggest Gas Mains

from Popular Science Monthly
 The olS gas mains in the Astoria Bronx tunnel at New York are probably the largest cast iron pipes ever made The internal diameter is six feet; the thick ness of metal IS two and three-o,,a rte, inches; and the length 12 feet. The one end has the ordinary bell form; the oth- CT the spigot. The weight of one length is about 26,000 pounds.
 These mains are laid parallel and rim ooWn shaft at Astoria on Long Island along tunnel 220 feet below the sur lace, under East river and then up a second shaft at One Hundred and Thirty second street and East river. They are to carry gas into the Bronx, the most rapidly growing borough of New York city.
 It is not an impossibility that the tun. nel may sometime be flooded with water Under such circumstances it would not be desirable to have the long lines of iror tubes begin to float. While the pipes are heavy enough to prevent their floating the margin is not great. The weight ot water displaced by cylinder l2 feet long and TIE inches in diameter is be tween 24000 and 25O00 pounds The over. lap where bell-end compasses spigot-enc complicates the matter a little, but after all allowances are made, there would probably be good solid weight to the pipe lines if the tunnel were full of wa ter.
 The amount of lead used to callS the joints is about 225 pounds per joint The mains rest on concrete saddles set six feet apart.
