Heat loss from sheltered and exposed, lagged and unlagged oil tanks are indicated in the table below:

Condition		Heat loss W/m²K (Btu/hr ft² ^oF)
		Oil temperature
		up to 10 ^oC (up to 50 ^oF)	10 - 27 ^oC (50 - 80 ^oF)	27 - 38 ^oC (80 - 100 ^oF)
Unlagged	Sheltered	6.8 (1.2)	7.4 (1.3)	8.0 (1.4)
Unlagged	Exposed	9.0 (1.4)	8.5 (1.5)	9.0 (1.6)
Lagged	Sheltered	1.7 (0.3)	1.8 (0.33)	2.0 (0.35)
Lagged	Exposed	2.0 (0.35)	2.1 (0.38)	2.25 (0.4)
