A U T H O R 'S D ED IC A T IO N To my wife Catherine, without whose whole-hearted sup port and encouragement end endless patence with such use of my spare hours, this book would not have been possible, I affectionately dedicate it. I ASSO C IATIO N FOREW ORD A/s f Oh a / The creative force that produced this volume is The Instjfeutq'r^ontroctof-9 Nc'ttofml Association (IBGNA).C A/ tC A ) which is funded and supported by the Regional Associa tions, The several Regional Associations, most of whom are represented nationsiiy by-ffeONA-'are: M A iC A Middle Atlantic Insulation Contractors Associa- ... tion A A C S S Associated Asbestos Contractors of South eastern States C S IC A Central States Insulation Contractors Associa tion .

M an y listed firms have made,contributions from multiple locations or divisions. gratefuiiy acknowledges all contributions because without their sup port and help this work would not have been possible. K 'lC A 4&&UA is very appreciative of the support and good wishes of the Canadian Association: Thermal Insulation Association of Canada (T1AQ. M any of T IA C 's members have contributed. M- It has long been evident to those closely con nected with the field of thermal insulation that a gap existed in the literature available be tween the strictly theoretical field of heat transfer and its practical application in thermal insulation. This book w as written in recognition of that gap and in an endeavor to fill it and present such practical information as to enable the design and installation of practical, efficient thermal insulation systems, This book, as written, represents the latest in materials and methods at the date of its publication. It is recognized, however, that as new materials are developed and methods change, parts of it will become obsolete. Efforts will be made to rectify this by periodic revisions and new editions at appropriate in tervals. M any people and organizations have con tributed their various talents to this publica tion. Those listed below have been especially helpful. I wish to express my special thanks to W. C. Turner, my ex-colleague at Union Car bide Corporation, whose tutelage during our many years of association resulted in much of what I know about thermal insulation^, _ S wish^ to sincerely, thank, the for their sponsorship of this book and for their staunch support during the trials and tribula tions of the many months of preparation. M y special thinks go to the three co-chair men of Standards Committee for their extreme cooperation and help in prepara tion. They are: Mr.. Conrad L Wiegers, Charleston, West Virginia Mr. James P. Ennis, Birmingham, Ala. Mr. Robert N. Smaistrla. Houston, Texas The following men labored long and hard in reviewing the preliminary drafts of the various chapters as they were issued. They deserve much credit. Mr. Theodore H. Brodie, Boston, Mass., Mr, Palmer Covif. Greenville, S. C,, Mr. J. Kenneth Dixon, Houston, Tex.. Mr. James P. Ennis, Birmingham. Ala., Mr. Frank R.
