heat equivalent to more than a ton of coal per year shows the necessity for insulating such surfaces.
STEAM AND HOT WATER LINES The conductivities of various materials used for insulating steam and hot water pipes are given in Table 5. In this table the conductivities are given as functions of the mean temperatures or the mean of the inner and
