Preformed pipe insulation.

Measure existing pipe run lengths and the selected insulation's inner and outer diameters.

Read the right quantitative data

Usable piece length, pieces per package and actual annular dimensions.

Check this ordering assumption

Outside pipe diameter alone does not describe insulation material volume.
