Copper Pipes - Insulation and Heat Loss

Sponsored Links

The heat loss from insulated copper pipes or tubes to surrounding air are indicated below. The heat loss is based on temperature difference 55 ^oC (99 ^oF) with insulation thickness 25 mm (1 inch) and conductivity coefficient k = 0.043 W/m ^oC (0.3 Btu in/ft² hr ^oF).

• 1 W = 3.4 Btu/hr
• 1 ft (foot) = 0.3048 m
