Refractory material with stainless steel and organic fibers

Номер: US20120096795A1
Автор: Alonso P. Rodriguez
Принадлежит: Individual

A refractory includes a cement, a binder and a matrix. The matrix comprises both stainless steel fibers and organic fibers. The refractory can be easily cast, without additional steel reinforcement, into large fire wall 16 panels 10 capable of meeting the requirements of testing conducted in accordance with ASTM E-119, Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials in support of IEEE Std. 979-1994, Guide for Substation Fire Protection . The fire wall 16 assembly withstood the fire endurance test without passage of flame and gases hot enough to ignite cotton waste during a four-hour fire exposure. The assembly also withstood a 45 psi water stream for five minutes immediately following the four-hour fire exposure period. This is a stringent mechanical requirement, as all fire walls 16 must maintain their integrity before, during and after a fire, per the Universal Building Code's definition of a true fire wall 16.

Insulative and weather-resistant building construction

Номер: US20120216473A1
Автор: Leland D. Snyder
Принадлежит: Individual

A building structural component, such as a wall, roof, ceiling, floor, or the like, is resistant to weather and moisture while facilitating the drying and elimination of water vapor and liquid water. The component includes a vapor-permeable membrane that resists penetration of liquids including water, but that permits gases including water vapor to pass through the membrane to resist buildup of moisture in the building component. A batten, such as an insulated batten, forms a cavity in the building component to facilitate air circulation, and reduces heat flow through structural studs of the building component to increase the overall insulation value of the finished component.

Framing members to enhance thermal characteristics of walls

Номер: US20150240486A1
Автор: Abraham Jacob Sacks, Jeffrey Leonard Sacks, William Spilchen
Принадлежит: SACKS INDUSTRIAL CORP

Various metal framing members enhance thermally insulative characteristics of a wall. Framing members include a metal stud with a web portion having through-holes that include at least one piece of retained material. Each of the through-holes lengthens or disrupts thermally conductive paths across the framing member, forming convoluted or serpentine thermal paths. The through-holes are arranged in a pattern that defines a truss structure that includes a number of straight-line web sections that extend uninterruptedly diagonally across a width of the web portion. Framing members include tracks, to hold metal studs, each with a web portion with through-holes that lengthen or disrupt thermally conductive paths. The framing members may be the result of a continuous manufacturing processing, formed of a unitary singular piece of material (e.g., galvanized metal). Thermally insulative gaskets or membranes may insulate the tracks from adjacent structure or surfaces. Structures may be provided as a kit.
