Question regarding pex heat transfer
Question regarding pex heat transfer
(OP)
Hello,
I'm trying to do some conductive heat transfer calculations for two types of pex pipe, "normal" pex and insulated pex. All I need is the heat transfer coefficients (units: BTU/(hr ft^2 F). I've done enough google searches to know I must be looking in the wrong place. Can someone direct me to where I can find spec sheets on various types of Pex. In addition to the heat transfer coefficient, I'd also need the OD.
thanks

After you read it, ask us more questions. I think you want overall heat transfer coefficients for various pipe sizes w and without insulation.
Also it would help if you stated the application.

You had an exceedingly stern reaction, especially considering you're asking for advices for free. If you only had glanced to IRstuff's profile on eng-tip community, you'd have seen he's a very active member, who has offered and keeps offering many useful advices. In this case he's just outlined how improper was your enquiry.

You're looking for more than datasheets, I'm afraid.
