parts, which are givenin their order from the inside to the outside of the tubing: (a) Rubber-packed metalliccore; (b) waxed-paper wrapping; (c) braided cotton-fabric sheath impregnated andcoated on one side only with a gas-proof and gas-tight compound; (d) waxed-paperwrapping; (<?) braided cotton covering; and (/) silk, silkaline, or cotton-finish covering. (a) Metallic core to be formed of one unbroken strip of metal, wound spirally, withan interlocking seam, made gas-tight by a continuous rubber threadlike gasket. (6) and (d) Waxed paper to be of such a grade and width and so wound that it willform a covering impervious to moisture when the tubing is subjected to specifiedbending tests. (c) Woven cotton fabric to be of such a character as to absorb and securely hold thespecified quantity of the compound; the compound to be of such composition that itwill not soften to a sufficient extent to ooze through the waxed-paper wrapping when Bureau of Standards Technologic Paper No. 133

Fig. 2.—Various types of rubber and paper gas tubing Samples Nos. 7 and 18 are of rubber and fabric construction and are the best of this type. If usedwith care, they will probably last as long as the metal tubings, but there is a slightly greater firehazard from their use if they are subjected to heat. Nos. 4, n, and 14 are dangerous types oftubings constructed of paper, covered with various composition mixtures, on a wire spiral, thewhole covered with a cotton braiding, giving it a good outside appearance. The glue soon hardensand cracks upon bending the tubing. One manufacturer of tubing says of such material, Thedemand is very largely for the cheapest tubing that can be turned out that will stay tight longenough for it to be Sold Tests of Flexible Gas Tubing 9 the tubing is subjected for a period of 48 hours to an atmosphere at ioo° F and 100per cent humidity; and that, when subjected for 48 hours to an atmosphere of o° F,it shall not crack or lose its gas-tight property when
