Insulation Sizing

[zeven]

Anybody got a spreadsheet/program for quick sizing of pipe insulation?
I have an old basic program, but it does not cover below zero C temps and only has 5 common insulants and 5 claddings.

Believe it or not : Though human body is made up of intricate and subtle mechanism, it is very poor in energy conversion. The maximum efficiency is 20% during cycling. During under water swimming it is just 4%.

look in the Holman Heat Transfer book - ch.2-5 "critical insulation thickness"
