h3. Velocity Gradients

The velocity gradients found in each tube over the range of critical velocities can be found in Table 1. By comparing the velocity gradients in table 1 and the results table from the [flow rate experiment|PSS flow rate experiment] it can be determined that once the velocity gradient in the tube reaches a certain value, failure occurs. From the data it appears that failure occurs around 2.4 1/s, as velocity gradients beyond this value correspond with failure in the two smallest tubes sizes tested.
