Firwin’s Touch Surface Temperature Calculator is a tool you can use to get an estimate of the outer surface temperature of an insulation blanket. Simply input your parameters – pipe outer diameter, exhaust temperature, insulation material of your choosing, and insulation thickness – and the calculator will tell you whether the blanket surface will be safe to touch (as per UL2200 safe touch temperature for non-metallic surfaces, casual contact). If not, you may require a higher-temperature insulation material or increased insulation thickness.
