The influence of anti-turbulence additives on the decrease 
in the hydrodynamic resistance in main pipelines is investigated. 
The dependence of the Thoms effect on the physicochemical properties 
of a polymer obtained on an industrial plant is analyzed. The method 
for evaluating the efficiency of potential agents of decreasing the 
hydrodynamic resistance is proposed.
