6If outside surface of block is painted with an impervious coat of paint, add 0.07 to resistance for sand
and gravel blocks. Add 0.18 to resistance for cinder blocks. Add 0.17 to resistance for burned clay aggre
gate blocks.

*The 6-in., 8-in., and 10-in. hollow tile figures are based on two cells in the direction of heat flow. The
12-in. hollow tile is based on three cells in the direction of heat flow. The 16-in. hoUow tile consists of one 10-in. and one 8-in.'tile, each having two cells in the.direction of heat flow..
