INSULATION OF HOT WATER, LOW AND HIGH PRESSURE STEAM LINES
The conductivities, in B.t.u. per square foot per hour per inch thick
per degree Fahrenheit temperature difference between inner and outer surfaces of the insulation are given in Fig. 4 for various insulations./ In
this figure the conductivities are plotted as functions of the mean tem-
peratures or the mean of the inner and outer surface temperatures of the
insulations.
!
This method of plotting conductivities, enables one to readily calculate
the heat loss through single or compound sections. It should be empha
sized that in this figure, the conductivities given for the various insula
tions are the average values from a number of tests on each type of
material, also that all variables due to differences in.thickness, different
pipe sizes, and different air conditions are eliminated.
The heat losses through any of the insulations shown in Fig. 4 for
various thicknesses of covering and for any temperatures generally used

Chapter XV--Heat Insulation for Pipes and Surfaces
in engineering practice can be obtained from Table 5 and Figs. 5 to 7
inclusive.
In these curves the unit loss through 1, 13^ and 2-in. thick covering is given for temperature differences up to 700 deg. fahr. The loss through other thicknesses of covering can be obtained from the curves by inter
polation.
Table 5 gives the factor by which the loss from the curves shown in Figs. 5 to 7 must be multiplied to give the loss through any of the coverings whose conductivity values are given in Fig. 4.

Example.--Determine the heat flow in B.t.u per hour per square foot of pipe surface through a magnesia covering 1 in. thick on a 4-in. pipe.
Solution.--The temperature of the pipe is 270 deg. fahr. and the room temperature, 70 deg. fahr. The loss through a covering 1 in. thick on a 4-in. pipe at 200 deg.- tem perature difference from Fig. 5 = 0.395; the factor for magnesia at 200 deg. temperature difference from Table 5 = 1.184;. then the heat loss through the magnesia covering = 0.395 X 1.184 X 200 = 93.5 B.t.u. per square foot of pipe surface per hour.
