The Effect Of Moisture Content And Wood Density On The Preservative Uptake Of Caucasian Fir (Abies Nordmanniana (Link.) Spach.) Treated With Cca, İlker Usta
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
The effect of moisture content and wood density on the preservative uptake (on the basis of the percentage of void volume filled (VVF%)) of Caucasian fir (Abies nordmanniana (Link.) Spach.) was studied in various levels of moisture content (MC). VVF% was measured in 11 MC regimes (7 of which were designed to be below the fibre saturation point (FSP)) consequtively nominated using a conventional kiln. All the samples were treated with CCA-tanalith C via a mild schedule of full-cell impregnation. A significant correspondence between MC and both wood density and VVF% was established and an attempt was thus made to …
