Therminal oil inlet temp 250 deg c at 5 kg/cm^2.please help me.
 
You will also need to know therminol oil rate.

Vendor can usually size this whole thing for you.

50mm insulation at 130C isn't a huge amount, but then you've only got 100m so may be ok.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
 
the oil rate is 36kg/hr. and i have other different size pipe and different length. 4" 15 mtr long, 6" 100 mtr. long and 8" - 7 mtr long, 10 inch 125 mtr long. help me to get size of heat tracing pipe and no of tracing line required .
