Heat Radiation
(OP)
Please help this poor old structural.
Scenario:
Metal pipe running a process at 900 degreees F
Piece of wood at 6'' from pipe - doesn't matter what kind of wood as all will start charring at about 450-500 F
Ambient air temp is 75 F
No wind
Humidity is say 30%
IS there an equation or table that will tell me at about what temperature the piece of wood will attain?? Obviously I am afraid of fire and wood degradation.
Thanks for any help...

RE: Heat Radiation
what's the pipe dia ? maybe if the pipe OD gets to 900F, then a point in space 1R away from the pipe would eventually get to 450F, or would it be 225F ...

RE: Heat Radiation
Temp is in the 800-900 F range at the surface of the pipe --- and is proably some type of steel or stainless steel.
Even if the temp is 700 F - I still would like to know if there is a way to predict the temperature.
I have suggested they get an infrared thermometer and do a a test. Which we may end up doing.
Thanks for any help

Don't they sell shielding to go behind stove pipes in houses?

So this is temporary but still a concern. We can't have the plank catching fire.

But too many areas and we would need to man it 24/7 to insure fans didn't give out
