Sep 27, 2005 #2 tombmech Mechanical Sep 19, 2005 195 OSHA requires surface temps below 140 deg.F. for piping that can be accessed by workers. There's a thread over on the Piping & Fluid Mechanics forum that discusses this in detail: Surface temperature for insulation design Upvote 0 Downvote

Sep 29, 2005 #3 cme Mechanical Jan 16, 2003 196 The formula for determining outside temps of insul piping is per the following: To = Ti - (x/k / x/k + l/fo) (Ti-Ta) l/fo is in a table, see below see stamper & koral, "Handbook of Air Conditioning Heating and Ventilating", 3rd Edition, Page 8-178 "Piping" Upvote 0 Downvote
