Very often, when pipes are insulated, flanges and fittings are left bare due to the belief that the losses from these parts are not large. However, the fact that a pair of 8 in, standard flanges having an area of 2.41 sq ft

HEAT LOSSES FROM INSULATED PIPES
The conductivities of various materials used for insulating steam and hot water pipes are given in Table 8. In this table the conductivities are given as functions of the mean temperatures'or the mean of the inner and outer surface temperatures of the insulations. This method of stating conductivities makes it possible to readily calculate the heat loss through single or compound sections. It should be emphasized that the conduc tivities given in Table 8 for the various insulations are the average of
