Rockassist (EN ISO 12241) Online Thermal Calculation Tool: License Holder

This document analyzes the thermal insulation needs of a pipe using an online thermal calculation tool. It details the project specifications, design conditions, and results of the analysis, showing how insulation thickness affects heat loss, surface temperature, and annual savings. Insulation thicknesses from 0 to 350mm are modeled to determine the optimal thickness.

The convection type (laminar, turbulent or transitional) in the last column of the table is an indication for the wind situation near the surface of the cladding. It can be
possible that increasing the thickness of insulation can cause a change from laminar to turbulent convection. This can be a reason for increasing surface temperature
even if the insulation thickness is bigger than in the step before.
