RE ASBESTOS LAGGING FOR EXHAUST PIPE - X.3003. I am sending you herewith a sample of some woven asbestos lagging which certainly appears to be much more robust than the ordinary spun yarn type of asbestos that we have previously used. The diameter of this material is larger than usual, but it represents the smallest that this type of material can be obtained in. We would like you to tell us whether it is possible to use this type of material on our pipes. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
