Fig. 1. Chart for Estimating Dollar Value of Heat Loss from Bare Iron Pipes. (See Table l)a
This chart is based on 100 linear feet per 1000 hours. For fractions or multiples of these factors, multiply by proper percentage. `
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
