Hi folks,

I'm looking for a graph like this one:

But I need it to be for a specific insulation thickness (0.1016 m (4") thickness) and for a higher temperature difference (around 300 celsius degrees difference)

Could you help me with finding something like that? I couldn't find anything suitable for my needs.

Thanks!

How accurately do you need the value, given that you're trying to eyeball it from a graph on a website?

Why not use an actual calculator, like:

Or just create a spreadsheet using equations like:

I calculated it, and tripled checked my calculations.
I'm just looking for a reassurance that my calculations are realistic.
