A roofing system includes a construction board positioned over a roof deck and a plurality of fastening plates positioned on a top surface of the construction board. At least one connector extends between two of the plurality of fastening plates and is positioned on the top surface of the construction board. The construction boards may be insulation or cover boards, and in certain embodiments may be polyisocyanurate boards. Fasteners are driven through the fastening plates and the construction boards and into an underlying roof deck to secure the construction boards in place.

Fastening plate assembly

A method for producing foam insulation board, the method comprising forming a foam product as part of a continuous process, where said foam product includes at least one side edge, monitoring on-line the compressive strength of the foam product, along said at least one side edge, and adjusting said step of forming a foam product in view of data obtained from said step of monitoring.

Method for producing and monitoring the compressive strength of foam insulation board

An edge-strength measuring device for measuring the compressive strength of a foam matrix along the edges thereof, the device comprising at least one measuring implement having one or more contacting elements for engaging with the edges of the foam matrix, and at least one measuring device in communication with said contacting elements for measuring the resistance imparted by the foam matrix when said contacting element is engaged with the edge.

Method and apparatus to monitor the compressive strength of insulation boards

A method for producing foam insulation board, the method comprising forming a foam product as part of a continuous process, and monitoring on-line the compressive strength of the foam product.
