Spanish term or phrase: se debe instalar de canto el aislamiento
texto:
"1.entre cabezal y cabezal se debe instalar de canto el aislamiento de acuerdo con las indicaciones dadas en el numeral 9999.
2. entre el cabezal y la pared se debe instalar de canto el aislamiento de acuerdo con .."

este aislamiento se va a hacer en la parte interna de una caldera recuperadora de vapor. entiendo que hablan de la forma como se va a instalar, puesto que en otro lado se habla de instalar lateralmente.

en el diccionario para ingenieros de Louis Robb se encuentra la expresion "de canto" y dice "on edge", pero no segura del sentido de esta en ingles en este contexto.
les agradezco la ayuda.

agree  Wenjer Leuschel (X): Insulation must be installed edgewise (standing on edge) --- it is clear in the text that it must be insulation, not isolation.
