Insulation Calc

The document provides specifications for insulation of industrial equipment, including a rectangular shape made of silicone coated steel with an operating temperature of 230°C, ambient temperature of 27°C, and cellular glass foam insulation that must not exceed 55°C. Calculations determine the required insulation thickness is 41.3mm for flat surfaces and 28.2mm for cylindrical surfaces of 100mm diameter oriented vertically.
