The Effect Of Wood Specimen Length On The Proportional Saturation Of Preservative Fluid In Sitka Spruce (Picea Sitchensis (Bong.)Carr.) And Corsican Pine (Pinus Nigravar.Mantima), İlker Usta, Ari̇f Güray
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
In this study, the proportional saturation and the fluid uptake of preservative liquid (that was) applied under the same pressure was investigated comparatively on the various longitudinal length of wood specimens in the two softwood species. Wood specimens of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.)Carr.) and Corsican pine (Pinus nigra var.mantima) representative of two different permeability classifications, cut into five different lengths were treated with tanalith-C using the full-cell process under the same conditions. It appeared that longitudinal fluid flow decreased with increased specimen lengths. The shorter lengths were saturated effectively due to the shorter flow paths,and their retentions were higher …
