What reading level is Petroleum Its Production And Use book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The barrel is then " fired " by burning some readily combustible material in the interior, and the curvature of the staves thus rendered permanent. A number of extra tem- porary iron hoops of great thickness are 80 next slipped on, and drawn toward the bulge of the barrel by means of an ingen- ious arrangement of iron hooks or claws actuated by steam power. The final operation performed upon the staves con- sists in placing the barrel in a lathe, par- ing off the rough ends, and cutting the gro...oves for the heads. The barrel is then ready to receive the heads, and to be hooped. The hoops weigh collectively about 12 pounds, and the total length of iron required for a set is 443 \ inches, so that putting the out-turn of finished barrels from this one factory at 10, 000 per day, we have a length of about 70 miles of hoop iron (weighing about 55^- tons) used daily. In order to render the barrels capable of holding their fluid contents without leakage, they are coated internally with glue, about one pound of glue to 3 barrels being required.
