Study Notes
Preservative Retention
- Determination of preservative retention in a specific zone of treated wood is done by retention by assay.
Measuring Atmospheric Humidity
- A psychrometer is used to measure the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
Properties of Preservatives
- Oil-borne preservatives leave the surface comparatively clean, paintable, and free from objectionable odor after treatment.
Wood Drying
- Kiln-dried wood is wood dried to a relatively constant temperature in a ventilated oven at 103°C.
Wood Modification
- Plasticizing is the process of softening wood by hot water, steam, or chemical treatment.
Modified Wood
- Modified wood is wood processed to impart properties quite different from those of the original wood by means of chemical treatment, compression, or treatment with or without heat.
Wood Treatment
- Niggerizing is a process of treating wood with paraffin or a coke-oven coal tar to increase its resistance to acids.
