RESPONSE 07 ARMSTRONG WORLD INDUSTRIES, INC. TO PLAINTIFF'S FIRST STANDARD SET OP LIABILITY INTERROGATORIES
Armstrong World Industries, Inc. ("AWI"), by its attorneys, submits the following responses to plaintiff's interrogatories.
GENERAL OBJECTION, STATEMENT AND LIMITATIONS These responses are based on facts known to or believed by Armstrong World Industries, Inc., at the time of answer. Because much of the information sought is fro* many years ago, and is therefore difficult or impossible to reconstruct or retrieve, AWI reserves the right to amend these responses as, and if, new or better information becomes available or if any error is discovered.
These responses are from AWI' s records and knowledge and not those of its
former wholly-owned subsidiary, Armstrong Contracting & Supply Corporation
(hereinafter ACandS), which operated independently of AWI.
Although AWI manufactured Nonpareil asbestos-containing insulation
materials from 1910 until 1929, AWI is not aware of any current personal injury
claims with respect to those products; thus, no answers are given concerning
those products.
AWI's Contract Department expanded into the high temperature insulation
contracting field at the beginning of World War II, and AWI last sold an
asbestos-containing insulation product in mid-1969. The responses set forth
herein are limited in time and place to asbestos-containing thermal insulation
products to which plaintiffs may allege exposure and which were manufactured or
sold by AWI during this time period.
Because virtually all cases against AWI refer to insulation products, no
answer is made concerning floor products, gasket materials, roofing products,
adhesives, board or other non-insulation products.
To the extent this interrogatory or request calls for information beyond
this limitation, an objection is made thereto as being irrelevant, immaterial,
burdensome, oppressive and/or not calculated to lead to the discovery of
admissible evidence. To the extent the information contained herein differs in
any respect from any prior responses to discovery, this response shall be
deemed to update and supersede such prior responses.
This statement is incorporated by reference in each of the following
responses.
Documents which may expand upon these responses are available for
inspection. An index is available.

Q9. Have you or any of your predecessors or subsidiaries ever mined, processed, refined, sold or distributed asbestos or asbestos-containing products. If so, for each such product, complete an "Asbestos Product Information Sheet, Attachment #1.
ANSWER: objection. This interrogatory is overly broad, vague and ambiguous. This interrogatory contains an implicit assumption of matters not otherwise established, which renders the interrogatory argumentative, incapable of fair and correct answer, and without foundation. Without waiving same, AWI was not in the business of mining asbestos. AWI was not in the business of selling raw asbestos. (a)-(c) . See Attachment A.

After 1957, AWI was required to be the signatory on certain relabeling agreements between the manufacturer of the products and ACandS. These products were purchased by, delivered to and used by ACandS in contracts of installation. AWI did not purchase, sell, or install these products.
(m). See Attachment B.
(n) . LT Cork Covering was first manufactured with a kraft paper cover. In 1956, asbestos paper was substituted for the kraft paper for the purpose of creating a more fire resistant surface.
Armasprayoriginally contained a 6D5 chrysotile asbestos. In July 1967, A. W.
Amosite was substituted, and in January 1968, S/33/65 asbestos was
substituted. The initial asbestos change was due to the increased fiber
length, greater wet strength and improved thermal conductivity of the Amosite.
The next change was a result of the discontinuation of supply of A. W.
Amosite, the substitution being based upon the supplier's recommendation.

(p)-(r). See Attachment E.
(s). See Attachment D.
(t) -(v). LT Cork Covering was occasionally cut or sawed to assure proper fitting around pipes. Armaspray was mixed with water and applied in wet form by a specially designed applicator. The balance of the pipe covering and block insulation identified in Attachment A was factory molded or shaped in various lengths in order to allow for custom fitting, thereby reducing the need for cutting at the job site. Cements were mixed with water before application. Documents which may expand upon these responses .are available for inspection. An index is available.

(y). Objection. This interrogatory contains an implicit assumption of matters not otherwise established which renders the interrogatory as argumentative, incapable of fair and correct answer, and without foundation. Without waiving same, Gordon Walker, Manager, Financial Administrative Services, AWI, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is in charge of and the custodian of the record retention schedule.
(z) . LT Cork Covering can be distinguished by its unique physical structure, while Armaspray was primarily a mineral wool product with about an 8% asbestos content. With regard to the balance of products identified in Attachment A ' which were sold but not manufactured by AWI, we have neither records nor actual knowledge by which to answer this interrogatory.
(aa). W. G. Owens, Senior Research Scientist, and W. H. Yeager, Senior Lab Technician, participated in the design of Armaspray. Both Mr. Owens.and Mr. Yeager have retired. Research continues with regard to the persons employed by AWI who were involved in the design of LT Cork Covering. Documents which may expand upon these responses are available for inspection. An index is available.
(ab) -(ac). The manufacture of LT Cork Covering was discontinued in 1959 for the reason that it was no longer a competitive product. Armaspray was
developed as a test product which was found to be commercially unacceptable; therefore, it was discontinued in mid-1969. with regard to those asbestos insulation products which AWI installed/sold but did not manufacture, these were discontinued when it got out of the contract installation business on 12/31/57.- AWI has manufactured a number of non-asbestos insulation products for low temperature applications. They were not intended to be substituted for higher temperature asbestos insulation products. Documents which may

Qll. Please state if there is any way known to you that the products
listed in questions 9 and 10 can be used, applied or installed without the worker
involved inhaling any asbestos dust or fibers.
ANSWER: Objection. This interrogatory contains an implicit assumption of matters not otherwise established, which renders the interrogatory as argumentative, incapable of fair and correct answer, and without foundation, without waiving same and subject thereto, AWI states that since the beginning of World War II, AWI manufactured only two asbestos-containing thermal insulation products. LT Cork Covering, which contained only a small percent of asbestos in the outside paper wrapper and was used as low temperature insulation, was sold from 1956-1959. Judge Robert M. Parker granted Judgment N.O.V. in Gracedel v. Fibreboard Corporation, et al (E.D. Texas June 13, 1982) (Order attached) denying Plaintiff's claims that LT Cork Covering was defective in design and marketing and holding that AWI "shall not be liable to the Plaintiff for any exposure to Plaintiff, if any, from LT Cork Covering."
For Armaspray, manufactured and sold only from August 1966 until mid-1969, Armstrong Contracting & Supply Corporation published safety instructions to be followed in all applications. The instructions were not placed on the container but were presented in the Armstrong Contracting & Supply Corporation construction manual. It is AWI's understanding that the specially trained insulation mechanics applying Armaspray were instructed according to the provisions of the construction manual. Armaspray was sold by AWI exclusively to Armstrong. Contracting & Supply Corporation. For applications of Armaspray with A-200 spray equipment, the safety instruction read:
"Always wear a U.S. approved respirator when spraying. If tamping in
the vicinity of the actual spray operator, the tamper should also wear a
respirator."
-
11
For application of Armaspray with the Armaspray junior spray machine, the safety instruction read:
"Always wear an MSA approved respirator when spraying. If tamping in the vicinity of the actual spray operator, the tamper should also wear a respirator."
Armaspray was sold by AWI exclusively to Armstrong Contracting & Supply Corporation (now ACandS, Inc.) from 1966 to 1969. Armaspray was packaged in bags containing the Armstrong Contracting & Supply Corporation label. Documents which may expand upon these responses are available for inspection. An index is available.

b. '
If there are products which, in your opinion, cannot be distinguished from products of a similar kind manufactured by a competitor, please state the name of each such similar product, who manufactured it, as well as the trade name of the product manufactured by your competitor.
ANSWER: LT Cork Covering can be distinguished by its unique physical structure, while Armaspray was primarily a mineral wool product with about an 8% asbestos content. With regard to the balance of products identified in Attachment A which were sold but not manufactured by AWI, we have neither records nor actual knowledge by which to answer this interrogatory.
Q13. For each asbestos product listed by you in Answer 9 and 10, state
whether the product could be used interchangeably with products of other
manufacturers, distributors, or sellers, and if so, please identify such product
and manufacturer.

ANSWER; Objection. This interrogatory contains an implicit assumption of matters not otherwise established, which renders the interrogatory argumentative, incapable of fair and correct answer, and without foundation. Without waiving same, the substitution for particular products would depend upon the particular specifications and requirements of each application which information AWI does not presently have.
Q14. For each asbestos product listed by you in Answer 9 and 10, state the names and addresses of each Maryland and California customer who purchased the product and each Maryland and California job site to which the products were delivered by year, and complete a Worksite/Purchase Sales Information Sheet (Attachment II) for each purchaser or worksite (Attachment IV).
ANSWER; Objection. This interrogatory is overly broad, vague and ambiguous. This interrogatory contains an implicit assumption of matters not otherwise established, which renders the interrogatory argumentative, incapable of fair and correct answer, and without foundation. Without waiving same, under AWI's record retention schedule, sales records (invoices, bills of lading, etc.) for asbestos-containing insulation products no longer exist. All contract documents went with ACandS upon its formation in late 1957.

Q38. Had you at any time prior to 1973 performed, participated in or financed any tests, studies, investigations or analyses to determine the asbestos level produced when your asbestos products were used, installed or removed from a prior installation?
ANSWER; Objection. This interrogatory contains an implicit assumption of matters not otherwise established, which renders the interrogatory argumentative, incapable of fair and correct answer, and without foundation. Without waiving same, environmental total dust level monitoring was tested on two occasions at a job site at Brunner Island, Pennsylvania. In November 1968 and January 1969, membrane filters were used to collect dust which was present during the application of Armaspray, a mineral wool insulation product containing asbestos, manufactured by AWI. The results were inconclusive. Further tests were not pursued because of the decision having already been made to no longer manufacture the product being tested, Armaspray. Documents which may expand upon these responses are available for inspection. An index is available.

ANSWER: AWI belonged to the National Mineral Wool Association from 1947 to 1950 and again from 1953 until 1962. AWI has not been a member of any other national trade association or organization whose concern was the manufacture of asbestos-containing insulation products during the relevant time period that AWI manufactured and/or sold asbestos-containing insulation products. As a contractor, AWI's contract department belonged to numerous local contractor associations; AWI ceased such membership by the end of 1957 when it left the contracting business. Later, after AWI no longer manufactured or sold asbestos-containing insulation products, AWI had an associate membership in two national trade associations in order to present its low temperature insulation products such as Armaflex. Documents which may expand upon these responses are available for inspection. An index is available.
36
Q61. When did you first learn that there were health hazards associated with the use and/or fabrication of asbestos containing products? State the date, source, nature and extent of such information.
ANSWER; AWI's understanding of the effects of asbestos on the health of workers may be generally summarized as follows:
AWI first became aware of a potential risk of asbestosis to certain plant workers who might be exposed to airborne asbestos dust in the 1930s at about the time that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania listed asbestosis as a compensable disease in its Occupational Disease Act and regulations (1937). The payment of life insurance, weekly sickness and non-occupational benefits, total and permanent disability benefits, and retirement pensions were undertaken by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in 1931 for AWI and it undertook a number of plant surveys over time in order to determine ratings for premiums and to identify and eliminate any potentially harmful conditions.
Air samples were taken in 1939, and one sample was viewed as requiring a reduction of atmospheric dust for safety purposes. A survey in 1948 included a description of asbestosis and stated that "the threshold limit for asbestos dust adopted by the American Conference of Governmental Hygienists at their 1948 meeting is 5 million particles of asbestos per cubic foot of air."
AWI now understands that such statement by Metropolitan was consistent with a report of the U.S. Public Health Service, authored by Dr. W. C. Dreessen in 1938, entitled "A Study of Asbestosis in the Asbestos Textile Industry," wherein Dr. Dreessen stated that the threshold concentration of dust should be the highest dust concentration that would not produce pneumoconiosis in an originally healthy workman during his entire working life, and that "S million particles par cubic foot may be regarded tentatively as a threshold value for asbestos dust exposure until better data are available." Dr. Dreessen further stated that "it would seem that if the dust concentration in asbestos factories could be kept below S million particles . . ., new cases of asbestosis probably would not appear."
37
I
AWI employed union insulators in its insulation contracting business until the end of 1957. Upon information and belief, AWI "a workers' compensation insurance carrier visited jobs in progress to inspect job conditions and observe if reasonable safety precautions were being taken. AWI is not aware that any such visits resulted in any observation or finding that insulators were exposed to asbestos dust above the threshold limit values or that hazardous conditions relating to asbestos existed on its job sites. AWI was informed that the Massachusetts Department of Health Division of Industrial Hygiene concluded that there did not seem to be an apparent dust hazard in the occupation of pipe covering or in the mixing of cement for pipe and boiler covering. Furthermore, AWI was told by Keasbey & Mattison, the manufacturer of heat insulation materials it was installing, that its employees had been manufacturing the products for years without any ill effects.
AWI now understands that the Massachusetts Department of Health Division of Industrial Hygiene Report was consistent with a 1946 study of pipecoverers entitled "A Health Survey of Pipe Covering Operations and Constructing Naval Vessels," authored by Dr. Fleischer, Professor Drinker and others, where they concluded that "it would appear that asbestos pipe covering of naval vessels is a relatively safe occupation." AWI now understands that the Fleischer/Drinker conclusions were not criticized in the American medical literature until about the time of Dr. Selikoff's pioneer publications in the mid-1960s. AWI first became aware of these pioneering studies of Dr. Selikoff in the late 1960s concerning the possible risk of asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma to insulators.

Q62. Have you knowledge of any deaths or cases of lung disease or lung impairment prior to 1975 among your employees engaged in the manufacture or use of asbestos products which are attributable to, or were alleged to be caused by. the inhalation of asbestos dust or fibers? If so, please give the name and address of each such employee, identify all medical records possessed in relation
38
to the employee, and state whether reports of occupational disease were furnished
to any bureau, branch or governmental body of the relevant state; attach copies
of the latter.
ANSWER' Objection. This interrogatory contains an implicit assumption of matters not otherwise established, which renders the interrogatory argumentative, incapable of fair and correct answer, and without foundation. Without waiving same, AWI received a number of workers' compensation claims filed by its former union employees, which claimed health problems from asbestos. The first claim was in 19S2, and eight more were received by AWI while it continued as an employer of union insulators (until the end of 1957).
Of the two claims which reached disposition during this period, AWI was dismissed from one and paid benefits in the other. Generally, AWI was only one of a number of employers named.
Upon receipt of the first claim in 1952, AWI received a report from the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Department of Labor and Industries, Division of
Occupational Hygiene, that stated there did not seem to be an apparent dust
hazard in the occupation of pipecovering or in the mixing of cement for pipe
and boiler covering. In reference to a second claim filed, AWI was informed
by Keasbey & Mattison, the manufacturer of the heat insulation materials in
question, that its employees had been manufacturing such products for years
without any ill effects. AWI's Insurance Department, in providing insurance
administrative services for ACandS, also received workers' compensation claims
by employees of that company (until 1969) and others, including Armstrong Cork
Company, alleging pulmonary illness possibly related to asbestos exposure.
The Traveler* Insurance Company insured AWI's contract operation, administered workers' compensation claims, and undertook to visit selected jobs in progress to inspect job conditions and observe if reasonable safety precautions were being taken; at no time did Travelers report to AWI that insulators were exposed to asbestos dust above the threshold limit values or that hazardous conditions relating to asbestos existed on its job sites. In early 1957, Travelers advised AWI that its Engineering Department was planning to survey a current insulating job, specifically in reference to an asbestos-related
39
1
workers' compensation claim. AWI left the contracting business at the end of 1957 when-that business was assumed by ACandS. -AWI has no current record of Traveler's findings.
In April 1968, Canadian Johns-Manville Company, Ltd., sent a mailing to numerous companies, including AWI, which contained the minutes of the first six meetings of the Scientific Committee of the Institute of Occupational and Environmental Health of the Quebec Asbestos Mining Association. AWI was never a member of QAMA or present at such meetings. This literature was immediately sent on to ACandS with the comment from AWI's insurance manager that, prior to receiving this information, he had no idea of the extent of the research work being done in this field. Soon thereafter, ACandS assumed responsibility for monitoring its own workers' compensation claims.
The products at issue in the workers' compensation claims were typically pipe
covering and cements, that AWI did not manufacture; no product of any kind
manufactured by AWI was ever found to be the cause of any condition of any
claimant in any of these workers' compensation claims. See Attachment K.

Q63. If any of your employees or officers have testified at trial or by deposition in any litigation or before any Congressional Committee or administrative agency concerning asbestos exposure, pulmonary or asbestos-related diseases or industrial hygiene relating to asbestos use, state:
a. The name, address and title of each person who testified;
b. The date, location and forum of such testimony; c. Whether the defendant has a copy of such testimony; d. Whether the defendant will voluntarily produce a copy of such
testimony.
40
ANSWER: To AWI's knowledge, no such testimony was given before any congressional committee or administrative agency, during the time period that AWI manufactured or sold asbestos-containing insulation products.
Q64. Have you or any employee or agent,of yours ever communicated with an agency or department of the United States concerning specifications and/or standard for any asbestos product or thermal insulation product? If so state separately for each product or set of specifications:
a. Identify each such product and its military or federal specification or standard;
b. The intended purpose or use for the product so specified;
c. The date, time and place of each communication including:
<1) The name of each of your agents or employees who participated in each communication;
(2) The names, titles, and agencies of each individual with whom such communication was had;
(3) The subject of the communication;
(4) Whether any notes, minutes or memoranda in any form were recorded of such communication or of any meetings between you and the agency;
(5) whether any documents were submitted to the agency;
(6) If (4) or (5) is answered in the affirmative state the name, and location of the custodian of such records.
ANSWERt Neither asbestos-containing insulation products AWI manufactured received military specification approval or was found on a Q.P.L.; as to other asbestos-containing insulation products installed by AWI's contract operation, this interrogatory should be directed to their manufacturers.
Q65. Does your company recognize that:-
41
I
a. Asbestos causes asbestosis; b. Asbestos exposure leads to an individual contracting
asbestosis; c. There is a correlation between exposure to asbestos and
the occurrence of asbestosis; d. Asbestos causes lung cancer; e. There is a correlation between exposure and the
occurrence of lung cancer; f. Asbestos contributes to the development of
gastrointestinal cancer; g. That a portion of inhaled asbestos fibers remain in the
lungs after being inhaled into the human body and are not destroyed? h. The symptoms of asbestosis and other asbestos-induced lung diseases or cancers may not manifest themselves until many years after the asbestos was inhaled into the body? i. Prolonged use of the asbestos material can cause or contribute to various occupational diseases, including asbestosis, mesothelioma, cancer and other lung respiratory diseases? j. The use of asbestos insulating products listed in Answer (10) are dangerous and harmful to human health? k. There is a connection between the inhalation of asbestos dust and fibers and the disease mesothelioma?
If your answer to any part of this question is "Yes", explain when you came to this knowledge and what, if anything, you have done about it to notify the public or users of your products, if your answer is that your products are not harmful then explain what facts and tests were made upon which you base such conclusion.

AWI was informed that the Massachusetts Department of.Health Division of Industrial Hygiene concluded that there did not seem to be am apparent dust hazard in the
43
I
occupation of pipe covering or in the mixing of cement for pipe and boiler
covering. Furthermore, AMI was told by Keasbey & Mattison, the manufacturer
of heat insulation materials it was installing, that its employees had been manufacturing the products for years without any ill effects.
AWI now understands that the Massachusetts Department of Health Division of Industrial Hygiene Report was consistent with a 1946 study of pipecoverers
entitled "A Health Survey of Pipe Covering Operations and Constructing Naval
Vessels," authored by Dr. Fleischer, Professor Drinker and others, where they
concluded that "it would appear that asbestos pipe covering of naval vessels
is a relatively safe occupation." AMI now understands that the
Fleischer/Drinker conclusions were not criticized in the American medical
literature until about the time of Dr. Selikoff's pioneer publications in the
mid-1960s. AMI first became aware of these pioneering studies of Dr. Selikoff
in the late 1960s concerning the possible risk of asbestosis, lung cancer and
mesothelioma to insulators. AMI is unaware that a causal association between
asbestos and other types of cancer has been established.

Q66. Have any workman's compensation claims based on asbestosis, mesothelioma, lung cancer, other cancers, asbestos-induced diseases, or lung diseases been filed against you? If so, for each claim state:
a. The date, place filed, reference numbers and outcome of each claim;
b. Whether you advised your workers, compensation carrier of the claims;
' c.
The location and custodian of all records of claims and correspondence with your compensation carrier.
answer: see response to interrogatory 62, which is adopted and incorporated herein.
Q67. Have you as part of your business ever employed any steam
44
plane operators, boiler repair workers, insulator or had a division or unit which installed insulation materials on a contract by contract basis (e.g., a "contract unit1')? If so, state:
a. The location where such persons or unit was based; b. The names of the operators or managers of the contract units; c. Whether there existed rules, regulations and/or work practices
which were to be followed by such employees: d. Were such employees ever required to wear respirators. If so,
please state: (1) Whether the requirement was by written regulation or
oral direction; (2) the names of the people in your firm originating such a
requirement and/or in charge of enforcing it; (3) The date the requirement was imposed for the first time. e. Have such former employees ever filed workmen's compensation claims due to lung or coronary illness. If so, for each such claim, state the date, jurisdiction and docket number and outcome of the claims. ANSWER: Until late 1957, AWI had an Insulation Contract Department which operated under the Insulation Division. Insulation products, including some which contained asbestos and were manufactured by other companies, were installed by the Insulation Contract Department. In late 1957, ACandS. was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AWI for the purpose of assuming the contract insulation business effective January 1, 1958. This former subsidiary, which operated independently of AWI, was sold in 1969 to the North Lime Corporation, 120 North Lime Street, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. ACandS was involved in the installation of insulation products. See response to interrogatory 66, which is adopted and incorporated herein.

m. The percentage of sales by dollar value and by linear foot and weight of your asbestos-containing materials as compared to all asbestos-containing materials sold in the United States;
answer: objection. This interrogatory contains an implicit assumption of matters not otherwise established, which renders the interrogatory argumentative, incapable of fair and correct answer, and without foundation. Without waiving same, AWI was not in the business of mining asbestos. Quantities of asbestos purchased from suppliers for use in the manufacture of Armaspray were:

d. Whether any employee was reassigned, terminated or pensioned as the result of such examination and the date and reason for each such occurrence.
ANSWBR: It is believed that AWI provided pre-employment physical examinations, testing, and chest x-rays to all potential employees. Annual
.
chest x-rays were also made available to employees through local health agencies during certain time periods. Workers in certain departments and/or
with certain job duties were required to wear respirators, and have annual
chest x-rays and physical examinations. Process specifications, which contained information concerning health hazards and safeguards, were available
to the workers as well as oral and written instructions regarding chest x-
rays, physical exams, and respirators. The percentage of workers who participated in chest x-ray programs cannot be accurately determined, but it is believed that the policies regarding chest x-rays and physical examinations
were enforced. Documents which may expand upon these responses are available
for inspection. An index is available.
Q77. Have you ever removed or had removed any asbestos insulation or other asbestos containing material from any building, plant or facility which you owned, operated, leased or maintained? If so, identify the building or
SO
facility, state the date the asbestos material was removed and who removed the asbestos, and. identify all documents relating to or referring to the removal.
ANSWER: Objection. The information sought is irrelevant to matters between plaintiff and AWI.
Q78. Was the monitoring of dust levels required by any Government regulation or rule of any government, agency, or insurance company? If so, state the substance of the rule, the source imposing it and the date it was first imposed.
ANSWER: Objection. This interrogatory is overly broad, vague and ambiguous, without waiving same, see response to interrogatory 65, which is adopted and incorporated herein.

a. Other workers in the area where the asbestos products are being used;
b. Members of the families of workers.
AMgwittt*
AWI Objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is
argumentative.
Q80. Does your company have a record or document "retention" policy, plan or program? If so, please describe such plan. If the plan is different for separate categories of records, please describe the plan for each category. Please include in the descriptions the following:
51
a. The name and title of the custodian of the records;

To the extent that it does not request such information, expert witnesses and fact witnesses will be identified in accordance with the pretrial schedule.
Q85. Identify the name and address of each nonexpert witness whom you intend to call at trial, and specifically set forth the nature and substance of the matters to which each such person will testify and summarize the facts to which such person will testify.
ANSWER: AWI objects to this interrogatory to the extent that it calls for information protected from discovery by the attorney work-product doctrine. To the extent that it does not request such information, expert witnesses and fact witnesses will be identified in accordance with the pretrial schedule.
Q86. Identify and produce each exhibit that you intend to rely
upon at trial.
answer?
AWI will produce an exhibit list in accordance with the
pretrial schedule.
Q87. Identify all persons, other than your attorneys, who provided you with any information used in answering these interrogatories, and
state the particular information each person supplied.
ANSWER; objection. It is impossible for AWI to answer this interrogatory. AWI has been involved in the asbestos litigation for many years. Daring the course of said litigation, its legal representatives have reviewed voluminous records of itself and others, have conferred with many current and former employees of AWI and others, and have conferred with legal
55
representatives of others. It has thus become impossible to distinguish sources of information in an accurate and meaningful way.
Q88. At any time prior to 1972, did you learn of any recommended levels of asbestos proposed by The American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH)? If so, state:
a. The exact date you first learned of any ACGIH recommended levels;
b. How you first learned of it;
c. Which of your employees or agents f first learned of it;
d. The steps or action you I took to advise your sales personnel of the recommendation;
e. The steps or action you took to advise your customers, dealers, distributors and contractors of the AGGIH recommendation;
.
f. Any comment you filed or submitted to ACGIH;
g. Identify all-documents related to ACGIH;
ANSWER: AWI cannot precisely determine when it first became aware of threshold limit values for exposure to asbestos dust. The payment of life insurance, weekly sickness and non-occupational benefits, total and permanent disability benefits, and retirement pensions were undertaken by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company for AWI in 1931, and it undertook a number of plant surveys over time, in order to determine ratings for premiums, and to identify and eliminate any potentially harmful conditions. Air samples were taken in 1939, and one sample was viewed as requiring a reduction of atmospheric dust for safety purposes. A survey in 1948 included a description of asbestosis and stated that "the threshold limit for asbestos dust adopted by the American Conference of Governmental Hygienists at their 1948 meeting is 5 million particles of asbestos per cubic foot of air."
56
AHZ now understands that such statement by Metropolitan was consistent with a report of the. U.S. Public Health Service, authored by Dr. W. C. Dreessen in 1938, entitled "A Study of Asbestosis in the Asbestos Textile Industry," wherein Dr. Dreessen stated that the threshold concentration of dust should be the highest dust concentration that would not produce pneumoconiosis in an originally healthy workman during his entire working life, and that "S million particles per cubic foot may be regarded tentatively as a threshold value for asbestos dust exposure until better data are available." Dr. Dreessen further stated that "it would seem that if the dust concentration in asbestos factories could be kept below S million particles .... new cases of asbestosis probably would not appear."
AWI employed union insulators in its insulation contracting business until the end of 1957. Upon information and belief, AWI's worker's compensation insurance carrier visited jobs in progress to inspect job conditions and observe if reasonable safety precautions were being taken. AWI is not aware that any such visits resulted in any observation or finding that insulation was exposed to asbestos dust above the dust limit values or that hazardous conditions relating to asbestos existed on its job sites. AWI was informed that the Massachusetts Department of Health, Division of Industrial Hygiene concluded that there did not seem to be an apparent dust hazard in the occupation of pipe covering or in the mixing of cement for pipe and boiler covering. Furthermore, AWI was told by Keasbey & Mattison, the manufacturer of heat insulation materials it was installing, that its employees had been manufacturing the products for years without any ill effects.
AWI now understands that the Massachusetts Department of Health Division of Industrial Hygiene Report was consistent with a 1946 study of pipecoverers entitled "A Health Survey of Pipe Covering Operations and Constructing Naval Vessels," authored by Dr. Fleischer, Professor Drinker and others, where they concluded that "it would appear that asbestos pipe covering of naval vessels is a relatively safe occupation." AWI now understands that the Fleischer/Drinker conclusions were not criticized in the American medical literature until about the time of Dr. Selikoff's pioneer publications in the mid-1960s. AWI first became aware of these pioneering studies of Dr. Selikoff in the late 1960s concerning the possible risk of asbestosis, lung cancer and
57
mesothelioma to insulators. Documents which may expand upon these responses are available Cor inspection. An index is available.
Q89. Do you contend that there is a minimum safe threshold level of exposure to asbestos below which there is no risk in developing mesothelioma or lung cancer? If so, specify the minimum safe threshold level of exposure for each disease, the date you claim the threshold was arrived at, and the precise basis for your contention.
AMSWBR: Objection. This interrogatory requires an expert medical opinion which AHI is not equipped to render.
Q90. Do you contend that there is any difference between chrysotile fiber, amosite fiber, crocidolite fiber, and/or tremolite fiber in the development of (a) mesothelioma; and (b) lung cancer? If so, explain in detail your contention as to the distinction between or among fiber types in the development of each disease and the medical authority you rely on.
ANSWER: Objection. This interrogatory requires an expert medical opinion which AWI is not equipped to render.

ARMSTRONG'S CONTRACT DEPARTMENT
Armstrong historically was a low temperature insulation manufacturer and contractor, supplying cork insulation products which were installed by its employees in dairies, ice houses, etc. Except for a limited product line manufactured from approximately 1910-1933, Armstrong's main involvement with high-temperature asbestos-containing insulation products began at the beginning of World War II, when its Contract Department first obtained the right to install products manufactured by Keasbey & Mattison. Armstrong remained an insulation contractor until the end of 1957, when the contracting business was taken over by ACandS. Documents which may expand upon these responses are available for inspection.
PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED BY OTHER COMPANIES AND INSTALLED BY ARMSTRONG CONTRACT EMPLOYEES

700#F. The pipe covering was used on lines subject to vibrations.
Air Cell Insulations were used on lines or surfaces with temperatures up
to 300F. Simplex Pipe Insulations were used to insulate lines with temperatures
up to 300*F where a water-repellent surface was needed. Duplex Wool Felt Pipe Insulation was used to insulate hot or cold water
lines 40F to 210F. K&M Asbestos Insulating Cements:
No. 151 - smooth, hard surface,- No.
152 - general utility cement; Velvet Hard Finish - hard gloss finish over blocks or cements; Mineral Wool - used in place of
block insulation; Amblerex No. 2 - up to 1000F0. K. P. Asbestos Floats were used to give a dense, tough, hard quality to
the final asphalt plastic finish bn walls of low temperature rooms
(EX 25 asbestos in earlier years).
Unarco (19S4-19S6):
Armabestos Pipe Covering 6 Block was used to insulate pipes with temperatures up to 750F or 1200F, or surfaces up to 1200F.
Ehret Magnesia (1957):
85% Magnesia Pipe Covering and Block (and Calcium Silicate Pipecovering for use as an inner layer with 85% magnesia) was used to insulate pipes and surfaces with temperatures ranging from SOOF (85% Magnesia alone) to 1200F (both layers).

85-yo Magnesia Pipe Covering and Block
e Armstrong Cork Company furnishes and installs the 855 Magnesia Pipe Covering and Block and other heat insulation products of the ,Keasbcy and Mattism Company in most of the 'nations leading industrial centers.
35% Magnesia insulation is Hie most widely used material in the heat insulation field for temperatures up to 600 F. This material com* bines the high insulatiag properties of basic carbonate of magnesia with the proper amount of clean asbestos fiber as a binding agent resulting in an insulation that is exceptionally light and highly efficient It consists of not less than 955 by weight of a mixture of hydrated basic carbon* ate of magnesia and long fiber asbestos. The magnesia and asbestos mixture is homogeneous and not less them 89^ of the total is hydrated basic carbonate of magnesia and not less than 10^i is asbestos fibert-
Through many yean' of dependable service, 85^ Magnesia insulation has demonstrated that it is the most efficient and durable molded type heat insulation material manufactured today. In addition to its light weight and high insulating efficiency, it is absolutely fireproof and has the mechanical strength necessary to withstand alt ordinary usage to which Insulations of this type
are subjected. Water has no deteriorating effect on 85^e Magnesia. It can become completely water soaked, and when dried out regains its original strength and efficiency characteristics. When properly applied and maintained, it will not crack, crumble, or fail mechanically. 857 Magnesia is manufactured in jectiooal or seg mental forms for application to pipes, and in block form for fiat surfaces.
85% Magnesia Pipe Insulation
857e Magnesia pipe insulation is manufactured in half sections and in sets of segmental blocks 3 feet long, in the following thicknesses:
Standard, 1%*, 2m Double Standanl (supplied in two layers) and Three Inch Thick (supplied Hi two layers)
(See table. "SS^fc Magnesia Insulation Thick nesses" on Pago I1L)
Half sections of pipe insulation are split hori zontally and furnished with factory applied can vas jackets, forming hinge and lap. They are shipped with necessary brass lacquered hands for proper application. Segmental blocks for in sulation of piping are supplied without jackets.

Hy-Temp Pipe Covering and Block
Hy-temp insulation is recommended for heated
line* and surfaces where temperatures range from above 600 F. to 1900 F. This material is made from calcined diatomaceou* earth, asbestos fiber, magnesia carbonate, and binders.
Hy-temp insulation is generally used as an in ner layer in combination with an outer layer of 85% Magnesia. The inner layer of Hy-Temp is used in a thickness sufficient to reduce the tem perature at the 85% Magnesia to within safe limits for that product Because hy-temp insula tion will withstand higher temperatures than 85% Magnesia, but is not so efficient an insulator as 85% Magnesia, a combination of the two ma terials utilizes (ft* high heat resistance of the high temperatuarinsulation and the greater effi ciency of 85% Magnesia to best advantage. Hytemp insulation possesses sufficient strength so that it can be handled without breakage.

Hy-Temp Pipe Insulation
Hy-Temp Pipe Insulation is furnished in tubu lar half sections and sets of curved segmental blocks 3 ft in length and in thicknesses from 1" to 3". Half sections are furnished for pipe sizes of 10" and smaller. Insulation for pipe sizes larger than 10" in single layer or inner layer only of double standard thick or 3" thick broken joint construction is furnished in segments. The 12" size can be furnished iu sectional covering l?i' and thick on specific order.
In most applications Ily-Temp Pipe Insulation Is wired on as an inner layer, in combination with an outer layer of 85% Magnesia. It is furnished without canvas jacket and 1Kinds.

Bestfelt Pipe Covering and Block -
n
Destfclt Insulation is made in pipe covering and block form of built-up layers of crimped as bestos paper. There are approximately 33 layers of paper per inch of insulation thickness. The ma terial is suitable for use on heated pipes and sur faces where temperatures do not exceed 700 F. K is often specified in place of 83% Magnesia for applications where the insulation is subjected to excessive conditions of vibration or where it must be removed and replaced frequently. For example, removable flange covers made of Bestfelt have the high strength necessary to resist damage that occurs to many insulations when the covers are removed and replaced.
For thermal conductivity of Bestfelt Insula tion, see curve on Page 128.
Bestfelt Pipe Insulation
Bestfelt Pipe Covering is supplied in threefoot sections with canvas jackets and brass lac quered bands for application. It is available for pipe sizes from to 24**.
Standard Thickness approximates 1". Thick nesses of l", 1V4*! 2". and 2K" are furnished in single layer construction. A 3* thickness is supplied with broken joint construction in two equal thicknesses.

Air Cell Insulations
cell insulations are recommended for use do steam, hot water lines, and other heated sur faces where temperatures do not exceed 300 F. Pipe covering and blocks are made of alternate layers of corrugated and flat asbestos felt bonded together by a special laminating process. In air cell block insulation, the corrugated layers are crossed at right angles to give the block greater rigidity and durability. Air cell insulation is light in weight, rigid, and sufficiently strong for appli cations where service conditions are not severe.
Air cell insulation is available fat three types: air cell, fine corrugated air cell, and special fine air celL The difference in the three types lies in
the number of layers of corrugated asbestos felt used per inch of thickness. The greater the num ber of corrugations per inch, the higher is the strength end insulating efficiency of the product.
Air Cell Pipe Insulation (Four Plies per Inch)
Air cell pipe insulation is furnished in stand ard thicknesses of 4 plies, each ply being approxi mately >4" thick. Greater thicknesses will be furnished when requested. Pipe covering sec tions are three feet long and are shipped com plete with canvas jacket and lacquered bands for application to all standard sizes of pipes.

Non-Frost Pipe Insulation
N on-Frost Pipe limil.ition is applied to retard
freezing in cold water and dram pipes in un healed rooms or where they are exposed to out side temperatures under normal conditions.
This insulation is constructed of layers of hair felt covered with several layers of paper felt and lined with a layer of specially treated paper felt to prevent the hair felt from coming In direct contact with the pipe surface. The hair felt because of its excellent insulating properties, is used to retard the escape of heat from the water in the pipes to the colder surrounding air. The paper felt jacket and the inner layer of treated paper felt protects the hair felt from infiltration of moisture that would impair its insu lating efficiency.
Non-Frost Pipe Insulation should be used only on cold water pipes that are exposed to moderate rather than tJidnidtly low temperatures, or where die tim thai the surrounding air would be below die freezing point is of short duration. When Xou-Frast Pipe Insulation is applied to outdoor piping, special provisions must be made for weatherproofing and protecting it.
Pipe covering is furnished in 3* sections, with
canvas jacket and brass lacquered bands for
application. It is manufactured in one thickness.

Non-Sweat Pipe Insulation
^ on-S\vat Pipe Insulation is a combination of
insulating and waterproofing felts used to pre vent condensation on cold water lines. The in sulating felts protect the flow of heat to the pipe. The waterproofing felt protects the insulation from the moisture in the air.
Non-Sweat Pipe Insulation is furnished in single and double layer construction. Single layer Non-Sweat is made in thicknesses of 14* and %*". Double layer is made in thicknesses of 1", IVi", 2~. The illustration on this page shows double layer or broken joint construction used in thicknesses of 1" and over. This construc
tion eliminates the longitudinal and abutting joints that in ordinary pipe covering extend from the outside of the covering to the pipe.

Surface Temperatures and Ilcnt Loss for Mineral Wool Blanket Insulation
Heat Loss Chart--To determine the surface tem perature of a given thickness of Blanket, read the chart as follows: Under table of recommended thicknesses, a 3-in. Blanket is suggested for equipment having a hot surface temperature of 800 F. Therefore follow vertically from the 800 F. point until that line intercepts the 3-in. curve. At that point, follow in a horizontal line to the left until it intercepts the margin, and it will be seen that at that point the figure is 133, which is the temperature in. degrees Fahrenheit of the cold surface on the outside of the mineral wool blanket.
Similarly, t* determine the heat loss for a given conditioat- refer again to the example on the chart
Follow vertically from the 800* F. mark, to an intersection with the 3-in. curve. From that point follow horizontally to the right until intercepting the heat loss curve. At this point, go vertically to the upper margin which is calibrated in terms of b.Lu. heat loss, tnd it will be seen tliat the heat loss for this particular condition is 93b.Lu. per sq. ft. per hour.

Hair Felt Insulation (Navy Standard)
Flair Felt is composed of 100% selected cattle hair processed into roll blankets. The primary use of hair felt insulation is to prevent water pipes ' from freezing. This material is used in a specified number of built-up layers of 1* thicknesses, bound in place on the pipe with heavy jute twine and protected on die outer surface with a weatherproof jacket
Hair Felt is furnished in standard rolls of S' x 10P, y x SOT, O' x 50T, and y x SO* in the thick nesses and weights shown in the table below:
certain amount of circulation. With no circula
tion, if the air remains at low temperature for
only a short period of time freezing can be pre
vented by the insulation.

Figures are given to show the time required for the water in a pipe to cool 10 F. from 42 to 32 F.. but a difference in temperature be* tween water and air at 60* F, which would correspond to an air temperature of 18* below zero. Water should not be allowed to remain in the pipes without circulation for longer than % the time mentioned.
The last column of figures in the table indi* cates the minimum amount of water that should
be supplied pee hour at 42? F, per each lineal foot of pipe haerder to prevent the temperature of the water from dropping to the freezing point
As a safety fader to provide against temporary reduction of flow due to lower pressure or other
causes, the rate of flow should be at least double
that given in the table. Figures on time and flow apply only to the given conditions.
For example, if water enters the pipes at 52* Fh instead of 42* F. it will take double the
given time to cool the water to the freezing point and only half the amount of water will be re* quired to circulate to prevent freezing.
On the other hand, if water enters at 33 F. it will be cooled to 32 F. in V^g the time given in the table and 10 times as much water will have to be circulated to prevent freezing.
The times shown in the table are those re* quired to lower the water to the freezing point. Actually, longer times would be required to freeze all the water In the pipes, but once the water starts to freeze the danger point has been reached. If frozen at only one point, flow will be stopped and the entire line endangered.
If die water remains without circulation longer
than the safe time Indicated, the only positive way to protect the line is to provide a small steam or hat water line along side the cold water line and then apply insulation so that it entirely
surrounds both lines.

Insulating Cements and Finishes
/'
Insulating cements are used os insulation and
gs finishes. They are applied as iusulation to fittings too small to be insulated with blocks, and on irregular surfaces or inaccessible surfaces that cannot be practically covered with pipe insula* tion or blocks. Insulating cements, like other heat insulating materials, have top temperature limits at which they may be expected to perform efficiently. Other important physical charac teristics that must be considered in the choke of a cement are outlined under the descriptive ma terial on each cement
Hy-Temp Cement
This cement is similar in composition to Hytemp insulation in powder form and can be used on surfaces up to temperatures of 1900 F. It is recommended for use on irregular or small surfaces where tlie application of Hy-temp blocks or pipe insulation is impractical, and for pointing up of Hy-temp block and pipe insulation applica tions. Because of its relatively porous nature, Hy-temp cement is not recommended as a finish ing cement.
Nos UQAsbestos
Tills is an ioeagnsfre; high-grade insulating cement made of asbestos fibers and binding ma terials. It may be applied to hot surfaces Up to 600 F. As a finishing cement it produces a hard, durable and smooth finislt This is a natural colored cement which dries to a very light gray shade. Where extra hard finish is required. Port land Cement may lie added to No. 152 Asbestos Cement mixing three parts asbestos cement and one port Portland Cement lay weight. No. 152 Asbestos Cement is also used for roughing in.
. 85% Magnesia Cement
This cement is similar in composition to 85^& Magnesia Pipe Covering and Block Insulation but it b made in powder form. Efficiency of AS1/* Magnesia Cement b higher tluui that of any other plastic insulation, it b also extremely light in wcigltt The cement may be used on heated surfaces up to 000 F.
Thb cement b not ordinarily used as a finish ing cement Usually a layer ai asbestos cement b used over SS- Magnesia Cviueut as a finish. When on extra liard finish b mptired, Portland

Cement is added to the asbestos cement (See "No. 152 Asbestos Cement")
cracking. Due to its high adhesive strength it can be installed witliout wire reinforcement
Ambierex No. 2 Cement
This insulating cement is particularly recom mended fur roughing in. It is composed of as bestos fibers, 85/o Magnesia, and binders. It is ideal for use on fittings, irregular surfaces, and other places where liighly efficient insulation is desired at a cost that is considerably below that of 85^o Magnesia Cement It may be used for temperatures up to 1000 F.
Mineral Wool Cement
Mineral Wool Cement is a plastic insulation made of heat resisting mineral wool combined with asbestos fiber and special clays. It will with stand temperatures up to 1800 F. It can be reclaimed if the temperatures have not exceeded 1200 F. It is an ideal plastic insulation for in sulating surfaces not suited to preformed types of insulation. .
Power House Cement
Power House Cement is manufactured by the Baldwin Ilill Company and is a hydraulic setting mineral wool cement It is both a finishing and an insulating cement It has exceptionally low shrinkage and can be applied in one coat without
Fibrous Adhesive
Fibrous Adhesive is a plastic material for use as an adhesive tn temporarily hold in place in sulation sheets. Mocks, and segmental covering until permanent outer binding support is com pleted. This material is of thin trowclliug con sistency and is recommended for use where in sulation is applied to brick, concrete, metal, or other surfaces. It is also used for binding insulat ing blocks together in multiple layer construc tion. Fibrous Adhesive is applied to the surface of the insulation and then pressed in place against the surface to be insulated. A spotting of the adhesive on the material is generally sufficient for this purpose.
It is necessary to remove all paint on surfaces to be insulated before applying insulation and fibrous adhesive. Otherwise the insulation will loosen after the adhesive dries out. The surface also must be dean, dry, and free of grease.
Fibrous Adhesive is furnished ready for use in 73 lb, 173 lb, 350 lb, and 600 lb. metal drums. Givering capacity is as follows
1. Insulation against metal surfaces--50 lbs. per 100 sq.ft of surfaces
2. Insulation against masonry surfaces--To lbs. per 100 sq. ft. of surface.

Factory Applied Weatherproof Jackets
For Pipe Insulations
Three types of weatherproof jackets applied at the factory on special order are available. They include Standard Weatherproof Jackets. Heavy Weight Weatherproof Jackets, and 50 lb. As bestos Jackets. All three types include 6" wide strips or collars for covering the circumferential joints at the ends of the sectional covering. The weatherproof jackets are lapped along the longi tudinal joints, but the lap is loose so that the in sulation can be applied over the pipe in the usual manner.
Standard Weatherproof Jackets are made from a rag felt saturated and coated with asphalt They weigh 35 lbs. per 108 sq. ft.
Heavy Weight Weatherproof Jackets are made from a rag felt saturated and coated with asphalt. They are almost twice as heavy as the Standard Weatherproof Jackets, weighing approximately 60 Dm. per 108 sq. ft.
50 lb. Asbestos Jackets are made from asbestos felt saturated and coated on both sides with asphalt and given a final coat of talc and mica on $>oth sides. These jackets weigh approximately 58 Am. per 108 sq. ft.
When specifying weatherproof jackets for pipe insulation, the exact type required should lie mentioned. Unless this is done, all orders for pipe insulation calling for "roofing jackets"or"weather proof jackets" without detailed specifications as
to weight and quality will be made up with
Standard Weatherproof Jackets.
Where the specifications call fur "roofing
jackets" or "weatherproof jackets" weighing in
excess of 35 lbs. per 108 sq. ft, orders will be
made up with Heavy Weight Weatherproof
Jackets.
.
When factory applied weatherproof jackets are
ordered, the necessary lap cement for sealing
joints, and wire or bands, are furnished.
_ Armstrongs Insulmastic
Insulmastic is a factory-mixed combination of Armstrong's Asphalt Emulsion with special fibers and fillers. It is recommended for use where a fire-resistant finish is required. Applied in two coats, each approximately Vs" thick. Insulmastic is an excellent finishing material for low-tem perature insulation exposed to the weather. On high towers, vessels, elevated lines, large ducts, breechings, etc., galvanized wire mesh should be applied directly to die insulation before Arm strong's Insulmastic is troweled on.
Armstrong's Insulmastic possesses Hie tensile strength necessary* to withstand normal move ment without cracking or rupturing, is not af fected by temperature changes, does not slip or sag at high temperatures, and bonds well with the corkboard insulation surface.

Field fabrication of fitting coven speeds the job. Workmen can insulate the entire line as they go. with no waits for factory shipments of fitting covers.
VAPOD tAJUtlOt UNWOSOM--As no nails or staples are needed to install LT Covering, the vapor seal formed by the paper backing is un broken. There are on punctures where infiltrating vapor can cause condensation or frost formation
within the insulation.
CAN M UMOVID AMD UUUD^-When lines are relocated, or taken out of service, the asbestos-andilummum paper can be cut and LT Covering sal vaged without damage to the cork. The covering can be applied again, using Armstrong LT Sealing Tape to hold it in placn.
SAVCS STODAOf SPAO--Inventories of LT Cork Covering take up no more storage space than board-form material, as the insulation comes in fiat
sheets rather than to curved sections.

APPLICATION OF
(^rnstrong lt
CORK COVERING
IS FAST AND EASY
The speed with which rmnlatino mechanics can ap ply Armstrong LT Cock Covering results in substantial daw and tabor savings, compared with conventional application methods. With LT Covering there are oo wires or bands to apply, no sealers or seam fillers are required, and on doth, twine, or paper must be wrapped around tfan insulation. Indoors, oo further Rwfakieg is necessary, except where desired for decora*0^1 tff ri,WlU.RM..
Fitting covers are fabricated on the job from sections of LT Covering or am be built up with Armstrong Ftesdeark. A brief description of fitting cover fabrica tion iHvyi* is contained on Pages 9 and 7. Com plete details are available in a booklet entitled. "General Instructions for Fabricates of Fitting Coven of Arm strong LT Cock Covering" which is available from Armstrong on request.
Data on application of Plasticork fitting covers is contained on Pages 10 and 1L

APPLICATION OF

p tASTI CORK
TO FITTINGS
Insulation of cold line fittings is rapid and eco nomical with Armstrong Plasticork. The fit ting first is primed with a brash ooat of Atm* strong 520 Adhesive. Small pieces of Plasti cork am used to fill out hollows and form an even contour. Sheets of Plasticork then are built up to the dashed thidmsM around the fitting and held in phn with twine. For a do luxe finish, a V*T cosBof Seme's Cement is trowelled smoothlp over the Plasticork fol lowed by 2 coats of Aimstroog Weatherproof Plastic or LT Sealer to provide a vapoebarrier. Other finishes include white industrial tape and LT Sealer, friction tape and Weather proof Plastic, or Armstrong LT Sealing Tape. This tape requires no further finish indoors.
HOW TO DETERMINE PLASTICORK USAGE
By using the data on these pages, you can determine the amount of Plastioork and sundries needed for insulation of ail fittings. Insulation thicknesses are based on the Table of Recommended Thicknesses* immediately be low.
The three tables that follow indicate the number of pounds of Plasticork required to insulate cold line fittings on piping insulated with LT-Thirty, LT-Zero, and LTMinus Thirty Cork Covering.
The areas shown in the three tables represent the num ber of square feet of Plasticork surface after the insuladon has been applied and should be used in estimating Keene's Cement, Weatherproof Plastic, and Friction Tape or LT Sealing Tape requirements. When estimating primer requirements, (Armstrong 320 Adhesive) use only 30% of tbe total area shown.
In estimating rundry requirements, use tbe following coverage data: Keene's Cement: 2Vfc lbs. per sq. ft (V thick) Weatherproof Plastic: 45 sq. ft per giL (2 coats) SMAdhtrivo (primer): 723sq.ft pergaL
e\ i-A !*****
Friction Tape or LT Sealing Tape: 1" width for fittings through 2" IPS approx. 23 lin. ft per sq. ft surface, or 3d sq. ft per TS-ft roil 2* width for fittings through fT IPS approx. S lin. ft per sq. ft surface, or 9.4 sq. ft per 73-ft roll
