With an insulation density of11 lb/cu-ft, the calculation for insulation weight is 1.49 x 11 = 16.39INSULATION WEIGHT FACTOR – XNOMINALNOMINAL INSULATION THICKNESSPIPE SIZE 1" 1 1 ⁄2" 2" 2 1 ⁄2" 3" 3 1 ⁄2" 4" 4 1 ⁄2" 5" 5 1 ⁄2" 6"1 .057 .10 .16 .23 .31 .401 1 ⁄4 .051 .12 .15 .22 .30 .391 1 ⁄2 .066 .11 .21 .29 .38 .482 .080 .14 .21 .29 .37 .47 .592 1 ⁄2 .091 .19 .27 .36 .46 .58 .70 .833 .10 .17 .25 .34 .44 .56 .68 .813 1 ⁄2 .15 .23 .31 .41 .54 .66 .78 ... .974 .13 .21 .30 .39 .51 .63 .77 .96 1.105 .15 .24 .34 .45 .58 .71 .88 1.04 1.206 .17 .27 .38 .51 .64 .83 .97 1.13 1.348 .34 .47 .66 .80 .97 1.17 1.36 1.56 1.7510 .43 .59 .75 .93 1.12 1.32 1.54 1.76 1.9912 .50 .68 .88 1.07 1.28 1.52 1.74 1.99 2.24 2.5014 .51 .70 .90 1.11 1.34 1.57 1.81 2.07 2.34 2.6216 .57 .78 1.01 1.24 1.49 1.74 2.01 2.29 2.58 2.8818 .64 .87 1.12 1.37 1.64 1.92 2.21 2.51 2.82 3.1420 .70 .96 1.23 1.50 1.79 2.09 2.40 2.73 3.06 3.4024 .83 1.13 1.44 1.77 2.10 2.44 2.80 3.16 3.54 3.92General Formula: For pipe sizes not shown in the table above (specialO.D. pipe, etc.), use the following formula to determine the insulation weight:Insulation Weight: (lb/ft) = 0.0218 x I x T x (T + D)Where:I = Insulation density (lb/cu-ft)T = Insulation thickness (inches)D= Outside diameter of pipe (inches)-7-
