Dear All,
I am working to calculate the thickness of insulation for process pipes carrying super heated as well as staturated steam I have forlmulia to calculate it but I want to know basic refrence for this topis any one have good book or literature please share me .
thanks in advance
i am new at this site and do not know well how i will get this refrnece so if any one have then plz inform my email id is matifch41@yahoo.com

Let you try this resource .

Hope this helps

Atif,

Download the insulation and pipe heat loss calculation software from the North American Insulation Manufacturer's Association (NAIMA) website at the following link:

http://www.pipeinsulation.org/

The program is one of the best there is for heat loss and insulation thickness calculations from piping.

Dear All

i need to calculate insulation for a propylene spherical tank in -46c .

do you have any idea about insulation material or insulation calculation for this???

thanks

Hello guys,

I am pretty much in the same situation as Atif but now it seems that the solutions given by breizh is good enough (haven't tried the software as per ankur's link but I believe it will be too).

Anyway, just wanna share the approach that I did and the problem that I faced (i.e. availability of convection heat transfer coefficient for water/steam at different temperatures) and hope to get feedback from you guys on what I did wrong and how different it is from breizh's spreadsheet.

breizh, I presume I can also determine the insulation thickness by specifying T2 using the Goal Seek in Excel?

Cheers!

Hello to all

I am trying to locate a calculator for insulation thickness required to maintain a minimum temperature withing a vertical cylindrical tank with roof - can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

JLT,

The same methodology applies to vertical cyclindrical tanks as to pipes. You may refer the following to help you:
