- Start date
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

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"
