# Select Pipe Insulation Dialog

When you wish to make a full heat transfer calculation along a pipe it is necessary to specify any pipe insulation that is used. There is a database table of Pipe Insulation materials together with their thermal properties stored as a function of temperature. This dialog allows the selection of any individual insulation material. Insulation material is used together with the Insulation thickness field to completely define the insulation used in the full heat loss calculation. These values can be updated via the 'Database' menu item.
