Insulation thickness selection can also be made with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Please refer to the relevant catalogs or technical manuals. Usually, manufacturers will publish
selection tables to suit various temperature applications. Some also have graphical methods for
this purpose. Computer selection programmes are also available.
See Appendix 14 for an example of a nomograph used by Armaflex.
Whatever method is used, it is a good practice to use a thicker insulation size to cater for any
unforseen circumstances. However, this must be balanced with economic consideration as thicker
material will cost more.
