Heat Dissipation - Thermo Problem
(OP)
We have a very hot 12" diameter pipe (960 deg F) supported by the steel structure. Is there a way to determine the heat dissipation or how long the supporting steel has to be to avoid heating the structural steel.
Thanks
Thanks

But you can pick up an infra-red thermometer at Radio Shack or Grainger, McMaster etc for less than $100 that will tell what the temps really are. They say they are accurate to within a few degrees.

If it is a hot exhaust gas a ME should be able to get suggestions from the generator supplier based on similat installations.

FYI - The horizontal run is not a problem because it can be supported outside of the insulation (4" High Density). However, the 10 floor riser has to be supported with some type of steel member attached (welded) to the pipe and this is where the problem will be if it is not far enough for the heat to dissipate.

A korolate plate is a non-metallic pad (pad is a bit of a misnomer because it is pretty strong) that just takes bearing between the two end plates.

Going from 960F to 0 F will cause a lot of shrinkage or vice versa.
