a The roof fitting loss factors, KFa, KFb, and m, may only be used for wind speeds from 2 to 15 miles per hour.
b Unit abbreviations are as follows: lb = pound; mi = miles; hr = hour; yr = year.
c If no specific information is available, this value can be assumed to represent the most common or typical roof fittings currently in use.
d A slotted guide-pole/sample well is an optional fitting and is not typically used.
e Roof drains that drain excess rainwater into the product are not used on pontoon floating roofs. They are, however, used on double-deck floating roofs and are typically left open.
f The most common roof leg diameter is 3 inches. The loss factors for 2 1/2-inch diameter roof legs are provided for use if this smaller size roof is used on a particular floating roof.
g Rim vents are used only with mechanical-shoe primary seals.
