	Dear mr engr mustehsan, You have to INDICATE the HEAT RADIATION in Percentage or Quantity is to BE INDICATED - based on that the THICKNESS WILL BE DECIDED. There are STANDARDS FOR THE insulation. DHAYANANDHAN.S

	IMHO if you cant calculate that out based on codes and known math then you should not be asking the question. __________________ I went to Texas A&M, I am proud to be an Aggee. Proud to be an Aggey, Proud to be an Agie.............Proud to have gone to Texas A&M.

	Depends on what you have in the pipe. Depends on the ambient conditions. Depends on anything that goes on inside and outside the pipe. Depends on how much you want to spend. There is some dead serious calculators out there that could give you a very good understanding of what you need. The other option is a lot of thinking and hand calculating after reading every engineering handbook that deals with the matter. Start looking at "Heat transfer"! __________________ Common Sense Dictates

	Why "calculate"? Why not walk up to the pipe, and measure it? __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856
