Applied Energy, 1976, vol. 2, issue 4, 247 pages

Abstract: On process plants, thermal insulants are often used for personnel protection as well as for the reduction of the rate of energy wastage. This paper develops the pertinent theory with respect to acceptable [`]safe-touch' surface temperatures and so challenges some of the recommendations appearing in British Standard Code of Practice 3005:1969.
