Abstract: A corrosion-resistant gasket or at least a portion thereof on the inner side of the joint between two tank halves having corrosion-resistant liners protects the non-corrosion-resistant structural walls at the inner ends of the tank halves and also the non-corrosion-resistant external lay-up. The gasket can be applied from outside the tank during assembly of the tank halves, and the need for a manway to apply a corrosion-resistant internal lay-up is eliminated.
Abstract: A cage-like protector lowerable down a fill tube of an underground tank to protect the bottom wall thereof from damage by a dropped dipstick.
Abstract: An aboveground reservoir is connected to the space between inner and outer tanks of an underground double-wall storage container for liquids. Leak detecting liquid fills the space between the tanks and extends to a surface level in the reservoir. Sensing means detects a drop in the level of the liquid in the reservoir and activates a signal when a leak develops in either of the inner and outer tanks.

Abstract: Two halves of a tank are secured together by an external lay-up comprising corrosion-resistant resin. Each tank half includes an outer structural wall and an inner liner, the structural wall comprising corrodible resin, the liner comprising corrosion-resistant resin, the structural wall ending short of the inner end of the tank half, and the liner being radially enlarged at the inner end of the tank half to cover the inner end of the structural wall.
Abstract: H-splines and electrical raceways useful in an insulation system for the inner side of an exterior wall are substantially identical to those in a partition wall constructed to extend from said exterior wall. Insulation panels in the insulation system and in the partition wall may also be substantially identical.
Abstract: Insulation supporting tubes are suspended from auxiliary support beams extending transversely of and supported by more widely spaced main support beams. The insulation supporting tubes extend all the way across a bay between adjacent main support beams and are supported by two hangers at opposite ends and by a circular hook at midlength. For clamping at eave struts, a hanger assembly is mounted on each eave strut between each two adjacent insulation strips, the hanger assembly including two independently vertically adjustable axle tubes received respectively in adjacent bushings of two adjacent clamping tubes.
Abstract: Vertical stripes of asphalt are applied to the exterior of the basement wall, and glass fiber insulating boards with an asphalt coating on one side are applied to the exterior of the basement wall with the asphalt coating facing the wall and joints between boards disposed at the stripes.
Abstract: Each square fibrous insulation board has a scrim adhered to an outer side thereof and extending beyond two opposite edges thereof to provide a pair of opposite scrim flaps. The boards are oriented alternately at ninety degrees to each other on a wall to be insulated, whereby every horizontal joint and every vertical joint between adjacent boards is covered by a scrim flap. A cementitious coating is applied over the boards and scrim.
Abstract: An exterior insulation system for walls including a fibrous insulation board having a scrim adhered thereto on an outer side and having shiplap-type vertical edges, and cementitious material applied over the scrim.
Abstract: The apparatus includes a plurality of small rollers disposed in an arcuate, upwardly concave arrangement for rotatably supporting a composite two-batt roll, a large rotating roller for winding up one of the batts while the other is pulled intermittently from the composite roll for use, and a stationary bar engaging the one batt being rewound to prevent the rotating large roller from pulling the one batt from the composite roll independently of the pulling of the other batt.
Abstract: The process includes a first molding step with an upper surface of the glass wool pelt having been sprayed with water and with a lower surface of the glass wool pelt insulated from the lower mold portion by a previously molded glass wool insulating sheet, and a second molding step with the insulating sheet removed.

Abstract: A hollow reinforcing rod insertable into a bored hole is a mine roof and assembled just before insertion therein from a plurality of coiled reinforcing elements of pultruded glass filament reinforced thermoset resin, the rod being cut from the coils after insertion in the hole.
Abstract: The inner side of an exterior wall of an existing building is insulated by installing floor-to-ceiling panels along the wall, the panels having glass windows where the wall has windows.
Abstract: A set of five-tab strip shingles with rectangular tabs of various widths, any shingle of the set being selectable for production and installable in a plurality on a roof with regular offsets between shingles of different courses without occurrence of objectionable repeating patterns.
Abstract: The wall construction includes elongated molded fibrous channels secured together in side-by-side relationship and pairs of structural fastening strips secured to the channels, each joint between two adjacent channels having a pair of the structural fastening strips extending along the joint respectively adjacent opposite ends of leg portions of the channels.
Abstract: Air nozzle assemblies are provided for stripping the release strips from a laminated pressure-sensitive adhesive strip construction applied to a jacket for pipe insulation.
