Methods of long-cut timber preservation treatment

The following paper defines and analyses the methods of experimental wood treatment and considers some of the ways of timber preservation with respect to improving the quality of timber performance. The authors have studied various hardwoods. When producing test prototypes, the method of paired samples was used. The researchers have analyzed the experimental results of various wood treatment and produced recommendations concerning the choice of timber treatment methods. The paper defines the possibility of using timber borating as a protective means. The authors have obtained the absorption rate and volume parameters for treatment solutions such as water and boric acid and conducted experimental verification of protective ability of compacted wood soaked in a boric acid solution when exposed to neutron fluxes of different densities. Following the experimental research program and methods, the researchers have tested the method of counter-centrifuge timber treatment in the centrifugal force field in a production environment and at a pilot research station, produced recommendations for the use of anti-centrifugal timber treatment in the centrifugal force field and defined the modes for wood treatment on the pilot and production equipment...
