gas turbine, exhaust stack
static calculations of an exhaust stack for gas turbines. The stack consists of an inner gas pipe and a supporting pipe.
Das Innenrohr und die aufgebrachte Isolierung sind bei der Tragrohrberechnung sinngemäß als Leitermasse deklariert.
As this is a sheath, Leiter cannot mean ladder. Is it something to do with "conducting" perhaps?
Any help greatly appreciated

conduit pipe mass /conduit mass
Could it be something like this. Assuming that the inner pipe carries and the insulation would contribute to its mass.

Comment: "This appears to be the correct term (there is no ladder in the diagrams) so this is what I'll use. Thank you everyone"

perhaps they do mean ladder
The word 'sinngemäß' has me wondering.
Perhaps they really do mean that the weight (not mass!) of the inner tube and the insulation are used analogously as ladder weight during the calculation for the outer stay pipe.
This type of chimney construction frequently does have an interior ladder for inspection purposes etc.
Especially your added info explicitly states ladder height and the weight per m.

: That's what I thought, too. In mechanics AFAIR there's the task of calculating the load that a ladder standing up against a wall, exerts on the wall (not sure about the terms, though).

Conduit mass
It conducts the gas, so a conduit, not a conductor or a ladder.
