Significance and Use5.1 Manufacturers of thermal insulation for valves typicallyexpress the performance of their products in charts and tablesshowing heat loss per valve. These data are presented for bothbare and
27、insulated valves of different pipe sizes, ANSI classes,insulation types, insulation thicknesses, and service tempera-tures.Additional information on effects of wind velocity, jacketemittance, bare valve emittance, and ambient conditions mayalso be required to properly select an insulation system. Du
28、e tothe infinite combination of pipe sizes, ANSI classes, insulationtypes and thicknesses, service temperatures, insulation covergeometries, surface emittances, and ambient conditions, it isnot possible to publish data for each possible case.5.2 Users of thermal insulation for piping systems facedwi
29、th the problem of designing large systems of insulatedpiping, encounter substantial engineering costs to obtain therequired thermal information. This cost can be substantiallyreduced by both the use of accurate engineering data tables, orby the use of available computer analysis tools, or both.5.3 T
30、he use of this practice by the manufacturer, contractor,and users of thermal insulation for valves and flanges willprovide standardized engineering data of sufficient accuracyand consistency for predicting the savings in heating energyuse by insulating bare valves and flanges.5.4 Computers are now r
31、eadily available to most producersand consumers of thermal insulation to permit use of thispractice.5.5 The computer program in Practice C 680 has beendeveloped to calculate the heat loss per unit length, or per unitsurface area, of both bare and insulated pipe. With values forbare valve or flange s
32、urface areas, heat loss can be estimated.By estimating the outer insulation surface area from aninsulation manufacturers or contractors drawings, the heatloss from the insulation surface can likewise be calculated bytaking the product of heat loss per unit area (from programsconforming to Practice C
33、 680) and the valve or flange insula-tion surface area. The area of the uninsulated surfaces may alsoneed to be considered.5.6 The use of this practice requires that the valve or flangeinsulation system meets Guide C 1094 and Practice C 450,where applicable.6. Calculation6.1 This calculation of heat
34、 gain or loss requires thefollowing:6.1.1 The thermal insulation shall be assumed to be homog-enous as outlined by the definition of thermal conductivity inTerminology C 168.6.1.2 The valve or flange size and operating temperatureshall be known.6.1.3 The insulation thickness shall be known.6.1.4 Val
35、ues of wind speed and surface emittance shall beavailable to estimate the surface coefficients for both the baresurface and for the insulation.6.1.5 The surface temperature in each case shall be assumedto be uniform.6.1.6 The bare surface dimensions or area shall be known.6.1.7 The outer surface are
36、a of the insulation cover can beestimated from drawings or field measurements.6.1.8 Practice C 680 or other comparable methodology shallbe used to estimate the heat loss from both bare and insulatedsurfaces.6.2 Estimation of Rate of Heat Loss from the BareSurfaceSince Practice C 680 needs to perform
37、 iterations incalculating heat flow across an insulation surface, an uninsu-lated surface must be simulated. To do this, select a thininsulation (with a thickness of 0.02 in. (0.5 mm) and a thermalcurve giving a high thermal conductivity. It is recommendedthat Type 1 be selected for which the follow

39、the bare valvesurface emittance, it is suggested that a value of 0.9 beselected. Select output in units of heat loss per unit surfacearea. This value of heat loss per unit bare surface area isdesignated qB.6.3 Use of Practice C 680 for the Insulated Valve orFlangeSince Practice C 680 is designed to
40、calculate heatloss for insulated flat surfaces and for pipes, it is necessary totreat the insulated valve as an insulated pipe. It is recom-mended that the diameter of the pipe, to which the valve fits, orthe diameter of the flanges be selected for the calculation. Inputthe same ambient air temperat

For conventional insulation, this is either theemittance of that material or of the jacketing, if jacketing isused. The value of heat

44、on of the outer insulation surface area is best performedby the manufacturer or the insulation contractor. This surfacearea will depend on the dimensions of the valve or flange beinginsulated, the thickness of the insulation, and the extent ofcoverage to either side of the valve or flange.This pract
