Housewrap, to stick with the most common material used as the liquid water control layer, is a material that can control the flow of liquid water as well as air. It's rarely installed well enough to be a good air barrier, but that's OK because in most homes it's stapled to a material that usually is : plywood or OSB [oriented strandboard]. Housewrap is the material. Controlling liquid water and air are the functions. The standard varieties don’t control water vapor or heat.

To preheat, use an oxy-fuel torch outfitted with a special "rosebud" tip that widens the flame. Preheating temperatures vary based on the material to be welded. A temp stick(or heat crayon) can be used to gauge the temperature as it changes. Temp sticks come in various temperature values and, when applied to material being heated, will change color when the goal temperature is reached.

OBS

heat crayon; temperature indicating crayon: terms officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Quincaillerie générale
CONT

Les crayons thermo-sensibles irréversibles constituent une méthode simple et facile pour mesurer des températures : [ils changent] de couleur en fonction de la température.

OBS
