3、savings when thermal insulation is added to bare valvesand flanges.1.2 Questions of applicability to real systems should beresolved by qualified personnel familiar with insulation sys-tems design and analysis.1.3 Estimated accuracy is limited by the following:1.3.1 The range and quality of the physi
4、cal property data forthe insulation materials and system,1.3.2 The accuracy of the methodology used in calculationof the bare valve and insulation surface areas,and the qualityof workmanship,fabrication,and installation.1.4 This procedure is considered applicable both forconventional-type insulation
5、 systems and for removable/reuseable covers.In both cases,for purposes of heat transfercalculations,the insulation system is assumed to be homog-enous.1.5 This practice does not intend to establish the criteriarequired in the design of the equipment over which thermalinsulation is used,nor does this
