The diagram and table below can be used to indicate condensate generated due to heat loss in insulated steam pipes.

The table is based on a surrounding temperature of 20oC and 80% insulation efficiency compared with uninsulated pipes.
At a surrounding temperature -20oC approximately 50% condensate load should be added.
