based on the conductivities in Table 4 and were computed from data given in Chapter 22 of The Guide, 1931, in the following manner:
Example 1. Determine the coefficient of transmission (U) in Btu per hour per square foot of pipe surface through a 1-in. thickness of magnesia insulation on a 4-in. pipe. The temperature of the pipe is 210 F and the surrounding air temperature is 70 F.

Solution. The heat loss coefficient for a 1-in. thickness of pipe insulation for a tem perature difference of 140 deg (from Fig. 5, Chapter 22, The Guide, 1931) is 0.367 Btu per hour per square foot per degree Fahrenheit difference in temperature. The factor for magnesia covering at a temperature difference of 140 deg is 1.214 (by interpolation from Table 7,;Chapter 22, The Guide, 1931). The coefficient of transmission is therefore 0.367 x' 1.214 or 0.446. (See Table 5).
