lagging / thermal insulation
The term you need depends what this is: on pipes, 'lagging' might be more common, but not on other things; it may also depend on what form it takes: some of the modern 'rigid' types may have special names.
Do be careful, though, as that 'hors' is a trap for the unwary — sometimes it can mean 'without' (cf. HT) — i.e. the diamater of the pipe itself, without counting the lagging; BUT sometimes it can mean 'outside', as in 'dimensions hors tout' = 'overall dimensions' etc. So you may need to look carefully at the figures given in order to confirm which it is!

diameter (outside calo)
I think that "calo" is what is reported on the site (a connecting object):

Une calotte est la partie d'un couvre-chef qui se place sur la tête.

"Diameter (without insulation)
Diameter (with insulation)"
Would that make sense?
