This heat transfer rate is through the inner surface of the pipe and it is, therefore, this area that determines the re sistance R, .
A = *D -- 0.542 sq ft per unit length of pipe,
and therefore

Ri = 3.73 X 10"* (hr) (F deg) per Btu.
Case 11 of Table 2 fits the conditions of the problem if only free convection heating of the pipe is assumed. The equation in this case is as follows:

This result may not be deemed conservative inasmuch as the expression is for still air. If, however, the air is not still, but flows at approximately 5 mph or 7 fps, the heat transfer equation for forced convection would apply. This equation is Case 5 of Table 2.
