50°F (10°C) 35°F (2°C) 0°F (-18°C)

BASED ON NORMAL DESIGN CONDITIONS

Gulf-O-Flex in the thicknesses noted and within the specied temperature rang-
es will control outer insulation surface condensation indoors under normal de- Nom 3/8”(9mm) Nom 3/4”(19mm) Nom1-1/2”(38mm)
sign conditions, a maximum severity of 85°F (29°C) and 70% RH. Gulf-O-Flex
research and eld experieAnce indicate that indoor conditions anywhere in the
US States seldom exceed this degree of severity.

es will control outer insulation surface condensation indoors under mild design Nom 1/8”(3mm) Nom 1/4”(6mm) Nom 1/2”(13mm)
conditions, a maximum severity of 80°F (27°C) and 50% RH. Typical of these
conditions are most air conditioned spaces and arid climates.

BASED ON SEVERE DESIGN CONDITIONS

ranges will control outer insulation surface condensation indoors under severe
design conditions, a maximum severity of 90°F (32°C) and 80% RH. Typical of Nom 1”(25mm) Nom1-1/2”(38mm) Nom 2”(50mm)
these conditions are indoor areas in which excessive moisture is introduced or
in poorly ventilated conned areas where the temperature may be depressed
below ambient.
