Letter from Union Carbide's Eastern Region sales and technical service manager to a Celanese Plastics contact, recapping a telephone call about the fiber length of Calidria asbestos. It reports that the company normally gives an average length of five microns, describes a quick transmission electron microscope check of RG-144, RG-244 and COF-25, and refers to an attached table. It also mentions a Mount Sinai paper and a NIOSH draft method defining a fiber as having a 3:1 length-to-diameter ratio.
