A 10″ slide rule with a light green surface (Pickett’s special “eyesaver” design). It is housed in a black coloured sleek leather case. The aluminum body has a grooved slide and aluminum stops. It is a duplex slide rule with scales on both sides. The unframed glass cursor attaches to the frame by means of plastic and does not have grooves or ridges but slides smoothly over the surface of the frame. The cursor lens aids visualization because it has a convex glass on both sides of the rule. Scales: Front: Delta P (liquid pressure drop, psi), %QC2 (C2 obtained from body style), P1 (inlet pressure, psig), Inlet density lb/ft3 for gas or vapour or specific gravity of liquid Q (flow rate, scfh), Cv for liquid, Cg for gas. Back: Delta P (pressure drop for gas or steam, psi), %QC2, P1 (inlet pressure, psig), gas specific gravity, Temperature (F), Superheat (F), C1, Flow Q ( scfh for gas and thousands of lb/hr for steam), Cg for gas and Cs for steam, %QC1.
