Steel Pipes - Heat Loss Diagram
Heat loss from steel pipes and tubes - dimensions 1/2 to 12 inches.
Heat loss from steel pipes at various temperature difference between pipes and ambient air:
- 1 kW (kJ/s) = 102.0 kpm/s = 859.9 kcal/h = 3,413 Btu/h = 1.360 hk = 1.341 hp = 738 ft lb/s = 1,000 J/s = 3.6x106 J/h
- 1 m (metre) = 3.2808 ft = 39.37 in = 1.0936 yd = 6.214x10-4 mile

Single pipe freely exposed | 1.1 |
More than one pipe freely exposed | 1.0 |
More than one pipe along the ceiling | 0.65 |
Single pipe along skirting or riser | 1.0 |
More than one pipe along skirting or riser | 0.90 |
Single pipe along ceiling | 0.75 |
