The subsequent effects may include condensation, icing, cracking, corrosion, and other problems. To test for thermal performance of a cold insulated pipeline under relevant conditions, we must be able to measure the heat (energy) flow. But, what is energy?https://insulation.org/io/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2016/10/IO160501_01.jpg
