Suggestions for Designing Test Specimens and Testing Procedures to Impregnate Wood Material by Pre-vacuumed Immersion Method Realized Using a Special Device by İlker Usta

“…This study, which promised remarkable contributions for designing of experimental samples and trial device to treat wood by pre-vacuumed immersion method, was conducted to test the impregnability of wood material according to the pre-vacuumed immersion process and to reveal the usability of plug (cylindrical) samples in impregnation experiments in addition to the cuboid (rectangular prism) samples. In this perspective, samples to be subjected to immersion test were initially dried to an average moisture content of 12% and than prepared for the flow pathways to determine the possible preservative uptake as the percentage of void volume filled and net dry salt retention in radial and longitudinal flow pathways, and in triplex [i.e. three flow pathways including tangential flow] and than impregnated using with 3% concentration of boron compound by normal and pre-vacuumed immersion method based on the immersion of 120 minutes, and pre-vacuum process of 30 minutes at –0,84 bar (640 mmHg). …”
