I would appreciate the guidance from experienced experts regarding insulation

Regarding the calculation of the work volume for on-site thermal insulation, since I wasn’t sure which section to send it to, I’ve sent it here for now; please accept my apologies. After the special inspection, the site needs to have its insulation restored. In addition to straight sections, there are elbows and tees. Is there a quick way to calculate it when the pipe diameter, length, and insulation thickness are known? How do you calculate the volume of work for your projects? I would appreciate some advice from the experts on this forum.
I have the same problem. Could you tell me how you resolved it later on?
There are insulated, corrosion-resistant books in which tables can be found. Knowing the thickness, length, elbows, tees, etc., and needing precision when no books are available. AUTOCAD can be used (or other software as well) to rotate the cross-section of the insulation layer and create a 3D solid model. Calculate the volume and then add a margin (for example, 1.05–1.1). I have used both methods.
