It is requested that physical properties be determined as follows: denstty;
flexural strength; abrasion; hardness; 1200F heat soak resistance; shrinkage
and weight loss, and moisture content.

ill insulation received to date has been photographed, and inspected for dimensions and appearance by Manville Quality Control.
Similar sizes of Johns-Manville Thermobestos and K.P. Magnesia have been ordered and will be sent to you indue course for physical property tests.
Samples of the competitive blocks and pipe covering have been submitted for conductivity and hot pipe tests.
Please include all people shown on this distribution list when the physical properties are reported.
