        "note": "Thickness for a target loss inverts the cylindrical-conduction law: ln(r2/r1) = 2π·(k/12)·ΔT ÷ target, then thickness = r2 − r1. Because the relationship is logarithmic, chasing a very low loss needs disproportionately thick insulation — there is an economic-thickness sweet spot beyond which more material rarely pays back.",
