*therma-cel® Sheet Insulation in thickness noted within the specified temperature ranges will prevent condensation on indoor piping under design
conditions defined below.
Normal: Maximum severity of indoor conditions seldom exceed 85°F (29°C) and 70% R.H. in United States.
Mild: Typical conditions are most air-conditioned spaces and arid climates.
Severe: Generally found in areas where excessive moisture is introduced or in poorly ventilated areas where the temperature may be depressed
below the ambient.
Under conditions of high humidity, additional thickness of insulation may be required.
