Where single values appear in the velocity tables, these may be considered safe for water, steam, air or gas. In the
shorter insertion lengths, consideration is given to the velocity pressure effect of water flowing at higher velocities. The
values in parentheses, therefore, represent safe values for water flow, while the unbracketed values may be used for
steam, air, gas and similar density fluids.
