Pipe Insulation Basics
Integrated Publishing's Engineering Basics

<<The main purpose of insulating pipelines is to prevent heat passage from steam or hot-water pipes to the surrounding air or from the surrounding air to cold-water lines. In some cold regions, insulation also prevents water from freezing in a pipe, especially when the pipe runs outside a building. Thus, hot-water lines are insulated to prevent loss of heat from the hot water, while potable waterlines are insulated to prevent absorption of heat in drinking water. Insulation also subdues noise made by the flow of water inside pipes, such as water closet discharges. Common types of pipe insulating materials are shown in figure 8-12.>>

PS eGroups is merging with Yahoo, and as a result the mailing list service is spotty until everything gets sorted out. I had sent out a note over the weekend regarding the website design revamp but it never appeared in my inbox. Did list members receive it? If not, I'll re-send.
