Specifications and Codes Calculation Links Mechanical Insulation Design Guide: Mechanical insulation is primarily used to limit or prevent fluids or gasses from gaining heat or losing heat as they are transported in piping systems within a structure. This heat gain or loss occurs when the operating system is at temperatures above or below ambient the temperature. Mechanical insulation has many design objectives and can be combined to achieve the most efficient system based on needs or capacity of the structure. Key design considerations that benefit from the use of mechanical insulation are Condensation control, Energy & Water conservation, Process control, Personnel protection, Noise control, and Freeze protection. Below are several links to standard industry calculations that can be tailored to aid in the design of your system. Each calculation will require specific information pertaining to the operational temperatures and flow rates, pipe sizing, thermal conductivity, and accepted heat loss or gain of the system. If you have questions pertaining to these calculations or need further assistance please contact Nomaco Insulation at 1-866-876-2684. Calculation Sections: Performance Calculation:
