air space for the appropriate effective emissivity and temperature conditions of the space. 1 Insulating values of acoustical tile vary depending on density of the board and on the type, si2e and
depth of the perforations. An average conductivity it value is 0.42. The U. S. Deportment of Commerce, Simplified Practice Recommendation for Thermal Conductance
Factors for Preformed Above-Deck Roof Insulation, No. R 257-55, recognizes the specification of roof insula tion on the basis of the <7 values shown. Roof insulation is made in thicknesses to meet these values. There fore.^ thickness supplied by different manufacturers may vary depending on the conductivity k value of the particular material.

condition to the maximum density obtainable by heavy ramming, general findings of the investigation are-as follows:
The
Effect of Temperature. Soils were tested at several mean temperatures.. The degree of influence of temperature depends upon whether it is above or below freez-
Jng. For increases of moisture content exceeding about 6 to 12 percent, the conductrvity of-frozen soil becomes progressively greater than that of the unfrozen soil.
Effect of Density. Density affects the thermal conductivity of a soil in about the same manner for all soils, at any moisture content, and for either the frozen or un frozen condition. On the average, each one pound per cubic foot increase in dry density increases the thermal conductivity by about 3 percent.
Effect of Moisture. An increase in moisture content, up to the point of saturation,
