Abstract:
A sound-deadening laminate, comprising a structural skin having a first face; and a layer of sound-deadening material, wherein the material has an equivalent Youngs Modulus between 50 and 600 psi and is attached to the first face of the structural skin to form a laminate structure. The sound deadening laminate may be attached to framing members of a building.

Abstract:
A method is disclosed for providing a substantially smooth surface on a wall substrate having a wall surface with surface irregularities. The method comprises applying an adhesive substantially uniformly to the surface of the wall substrate, and attaching to the wall surface a base sheet having sufficient stiffness, thickness and compressibility to conceal the surface irregularities and provide a substantially smooth surface on the wall substrate. In one aspect of the method, the base sheet is a nonwoven fiber glass mat.
A wallcovering system, composite wallcovering and method for providing a smooth finished surface to wall substrate are provided. The wallcovering system comprises a composite wallcovering consisting essentially of a decorative wallcovering layer bonded to a base sheet having sufficient stiffness, thickness and compressibility to conceal surface irregularities on a wall surface of a wall substrate. In one aspect of the invention, the composite wallcovering comprises a layer of woven glass fiber adhesively bonded to a nonwoven fiber glass mat. The composite wallcovering can be installed in one step to provide a smooth finished wall surface on the wall substrate.

Abstract:
A pipe insulation system includes a tubular core of fibrous insulation and a flexible closed cell foam layer overlaying the core and forming an outer surface of the system. The tubular core has a first longitudinal slit extending completely through the wall of the core and a second longitudinal slit in the inner surface of the tubular core, opposite the first slit, that forms a hinge permitting the tubular core to be opened and closed to place the system about a pipe. Preferably, the foam layer has a water vapor permeance rating of 0.02 perms or less and the pipe insulation system includes a seal for sealing the first slit so that an outer surface layer of the sealed system formed by the foam layer and seal has a water vapor permeance rating of 0.02 perms or less.

International Classification:
G01N009/00
US Classification:
07303200R, 073038000
Abstract:
A system suitable for conducting an on-site measurement of the density and/or R-value of a gas-permeable material, comprising: a device comprising: a chamber comprising a first port and a second port; a diffuser in fluid communication with the second port of the chamber, wherein the diffuser comprises a diffuser port for conveying a gas flow to or from a gas-permeable material, and wherein the area of the diffuser port is greater than the area of the second port; and a pressure sensor arranged to measure the pressure in the chamber; and an analyzer for determining the density and/or R-value of the gas-permeable material based on pressure measurements obtained by the pressure sensor.
