Modeling Pressure-Induced Aqueous Uptake of Selected Tropical Timbers: The Pressure Treatment of Tropical Hardwoods

Описание:
To date, there has been little research into the uptake of water-borne preservatives by tropical timbers. Yet, tropical timbers have to perform and survive in environments where there exists the greatest risk of attack by wood-destroying fungi, termites, and other enemies of timber. The authors have devised a simple but ingenious method of precisely reproducing, in the laboratory, the vacuum and pressure processes used by full-scale commercial pressure-treating plants. The book is a record of how the processes were applied to hundreds of specimens, and the interesting and application-relevant results achieved. It is a tribute to the real possibility of "serious world-class research, accomplished on a shoestring budget". It opens the way for economical and accurate prediction of the preservative-uptake behavior of any as-yet-untested timber species intended for conversion into merchantable timber. The approaches should be of particular interest to persons investigating the...Похожие книги
