Insulation Thickness

The document provides detailed calculations for insulation thickness for pipelines and tanks, including parameters such as flow rates, temperatures, and thermal conductivities. It outlines the heat loss calculations, insulation volume, weight, and safety margins for different insulation thicknesses. The final recommendations suggest selecting insulation thicknesses of 75 mm for pipelines and either 150 mm or 220 mm for tanks to ensure safe operation.
