This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wood Preservation in the United States The decay of wood is not an inorganic process, like the rusting of iron or the crumbling of stone, but is due to the activities of low forms of plant life called bacteria and fungi. Bacteria are among the simplest of all forms of life, often consisting of but a single cell, microscopic in size. Sometimes several such cells may be attached to each other, and so form a thread or filament. Usually they are colorless, and multiply by the division of the parent cell into other cells which, in turn, divide again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Preservation of Wood But this little book wishes to do more than to inform the layman who buys and uses wood how he may best serve his indi vidual interests. It wishes to make him realize what every scientist and engineer has long since realized acutely - the national necessity of protecting his wood against the attack of its enemies. His desire to cut down replacement to a minimum is also one of the most vital needs of his country. This book wishes to do its bit, and to acquaint him with the opportunity to do his hit, in the great national effort to conserve our re sources. By protecting his own wood in the best way for his specific purpose, he is at the same time protecting our forests for the common good of all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hand Book of Timber Preservation It is not pretended that the operator can take the matter up from the book and proceed at once to runthe business, as there is too much that calls for a trained and matured judgment; but the book will be of much service as a hand book and guide during the operation of the plant as well as to hints during the construction. The author is but too sensible of the imperfect arrangement of the work and that much is yet to do to make it complete, but trusts to be able to offer in the near future an edition that will correct, to some extent, the imperfections of this. In conclusion, we cannot do better than quote from remarks made by Henry Goldmark, M. Am. Soc. C. E.: The whole question of timber preservation is, after all, one of economy. The point is not whether the ordinary or an improved creosote process is the best thing, but whether something else much cheaper will not, at least for railroad ties, serve a useful pur pose. This we think is no longer a question. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual on Preservative Treatment of Wood by Pressure When the timber is given a preliminary steaming and vacuum treatment (p. 30) the preservative is admitted at the end of the vacuum period following steaming. In case the charge has received a preliminary treatment by the Boulton or boiling -under-vacuum process (p. 49) the unfilled space at the top of the cylinder is filled with preservative and pressure is applied as soon as this conditioning process has been completed. It is impossible to remove all of the air from the wood cells regard less Oi the method Of treatment employed. For this reason even under the most favorable conditions there is some unfilled air space in the cell cavities of the treated wood after impregnation by the so called full cell process. When the full cell process is used for treatment with zinc chloride solution it is commonly called the Burnett process.

Download or read book Handbook on Wood Preservation written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook on Wood Preservation: Wood Prevention Is Wood Perpetuation Wood properly preserved is practically permanent wood, and because efficient avoids the cost of unnecessary replacements. The treatment of timber to make it last the limit of its serviceability is a fundamental feature of modern engineering. Briefly, in the following pages, the American Wood-Preservers' Association presents facts and figures for those becoming interested in the subject. Further information will be cheerfully given by any of its members or officers (see pages 47-55). Reference to the literature listed on pages 56-73 also is recommended. The most comprehensive publications on the subject are the Proceedings of the American Wood-Preservers' Association and Howard F. Weiss' "Preservation of Structural Timber." For the guidance of treating-plant operators, construction engineers, and others interested in the technique of wood preservation, the American Wood-Preservers' Association will soon issue the beginnings of a Manual of Recommended Practice. By up-to-date methods and in conformity with the best practice wood can be so preserved that its life is prolonged to at least three times what it would be without treatment. Consumers of wood can figure the savings for their own particular service, after getting quotations from their nearest wood-preserving plant. Large users of treated wood estimate savings as follows: Ties, 2 to 10 cents per tie per year; piles, 20 to 100 cents per pile per year; poles, 5 to 15 cents per pole, per year; posts, 1 to 3 cents per post per year; mine timbers, 2 to 3 dollars per gangway set per year.
