    The document provides instructions for calculating the surface area of vessels for applying ESLIN R-Board insulation. It explains that R-Board is pre-curved insulation board that is manufactured to fit custom vessel curvatures. The document gives the equation for calculating surface area of cylindrical, elliptical, and conical vessel sections.

    Calculating Vessel Surface Area for ESLIN R-Board


    All ESLIN Industrial Insulation Board materials are currently supplied in one square meter panels (39.37 by 39.37). The
    Board material is available in two forms: Flat (or, F-Board) and Rounded (or, R-Board). The rounded board is pre-curved to
    fit the exact curvature of any oversized pipe (42 or larger), tank, vessel or heat exchanger. ESLIN is the only manufacturer
    that offers a high density board material in a large pre-formed form. Most other solid insulations are supplied in a smaller
    board or scored-block form that has square edges and will not form well to a rounded surface. The square edges result in voids
    that negatively affect the performance of the insulation. ESLIN R-Board is manufactured to any custom curvature. Once the
    raw board comes of the production line, the edges are cut at the appropriate angle so that each piece will fit up perfectly to the
    adjacent piece.
    There is one very important rule to remember when calculating square footage of a vessel. To get the proper amount of material to cover the vessel, you must calculate the square footage as if the selected thickness of insulation has already been installed
    i.e.: the outside diameter (OD) is the vessel diameter plus the insulation thickness. For example: A 60 OD cylinder is going
    to need three (3) inch thick ESLIN. The correct OD for calculating purposes is 60 + 3 + 3 = 66.
    Were sure everyone well remembers their geometry and trigonometry classes but, just in case, here are some helpful equations
    to use for calculating surface area:
    D = Diameter
    R = Radius (line segment from center of circle to its perimeter)
    H = Height (for vessel, tower or drum, this is typically from tangent to tangent always refer to actual vessel drawing.)
    Circumference = D (distance around circle)
    PI or = 3.1416
    Area of a circle = R or 2RH
    Area Calculations:

    Cylindrical portion of a vessel, tower, tank, etc. = 2RH


    Elliptical Head (2:1) = 1.084D
    Cone-roof tank top = RS where S is the slant height of the roof.
    Slant Height is the distance from any point on a circle to the apex of the cone.
