General Session and Luncheon | Wednesday, March 30, 2022
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"3E Plus\u00ae Software Updates<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The 3E Plus\u00ae software is an insulation thickness calculator tool that allows users to easily calculate the appropriate insulation thickness for any application, and NAIMA is releasing an updated online version of the free software in 2022. NAIMA\u2019s Charlie Haack will provide a demonstration of the new and improved features.<\/p>\n

Speaker:
\n<\/strong>Charlie Haack, Vice President, Technical Services, North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA)<\/p>\n

Educational Sessions<\/h3>\n

Two major properties of building materials and assemblies are almost always required to be tested and reported by the specs for all projects, small and large. \u00a0These properties are fire response characteristics and water vapor transmission properties.\u00a0 Our presenters will unravel the mysteries surrounding the relevant tests and results that are commonly encountered by NIA members. What are the tests used?\u00a0 How are these properties and the values determined?\u00a0 What do the tests look like?\u00a0 Each presenter will describe how some of these tests are conducted, show and describe the testing apparatus, and explain how these tests apply to our industry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

\"\"Fire Response Properties -- Get ready to understand more about this hot topic!
\n<\/strong>Barry Badders and Juan Flores work with Intertek in the San Antonio area. Intertek is a major third-party testing lab that many building materials producers, including NIA\u2019s associate members, use for validating key fire response properties for life-safety and asset-damage resistance.\u00a0 This includes products and assemblies that need to exhibit low flame spread and smoke generation properties using ASTM E84 testing for pipe, duct and equipment insulations, to the most severe fire protection characteristics for industrial pool fires or grease duct fires, using ASTM E1529, ASTM E2336, and UL 2221.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n

\"\"Water Vapor Transmission Properties \u2013 A new meaning to the word Vaping!
\n<\/u><\/strong>Charlie Petty of Lamtec Corporation has been heavily involved with vapor retarders and vapor barriers for mechanical insulation systems and metal building insulation systems. Since the industry is constantly on the hunt for the next best solution to stop water vapor from damaging building mechanical and structural assemblies, he will review the most common test method used in the industry, ASTM E96 Procedures A (dessicant or dry cup), B (wet cup), along with a little-known Procedure E that increases the severity of vapor drive for cryogenic systems.<\/p>\n

Speakers:<\/strong>
\nCharlie Petty, Manager Mechanical Insulation Technical Support, Lamtec Corporation
\nBarry Badders, M.S., P.E., Chief Engineer, Intertek Building Products
\nJuan Manuel Flores, P.E., Assistant Chief Engineer, Intertek Building Products<\/b><\/p>\n
