Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pergamon Series of Monographs on Furniture and Timber, Volume 1: An Introduction to the Seasoning of Timber discusses the applied technology of wood preservation. The book is comprised of 10 chapters that cover both methods and concerns of seasoning timber. The text first provides an introduction to the subject of timber seasoning, and then proceeds to detailing the botanical structure related to drying. Next, the book tackles issues of moisture and dryness of timber. The next two chapters deal with air and kiln seasoning. Chapters 7 and 8 discuss drying defects and drying schedules. The last two chapters cover other methods of seasoning and other aspect of timber drying. The book will be of great use to professionals in the timber industry. Botanists and agriculturists will also benefit from the book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Timber: Its Strength, Seasoning, and Grading This book is intended primarily for engineers, manufacturers and users of lumber and of various special classes of wood material, and students of engineering and forestry. For such structural materials as steel, concrete, etc., there is a wealth of technical information in readily accessible form. Of wood the same can not be said. It is hoped that the present volume will serve to some extent to supply this deficiency. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Seasoning of Timber Classic Reprint written by Hermann Von Schrenk and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-02 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seasoning of Timber The wood next to the bark contains the most water. In the species which do not form heartwood the decrease toward the pith is gradual, but where this is formed the change from a more moist to a drier condition is usually quite abrupt at the sap wood limit. In Longleaf Pine, the wood of the outer 1 inch of a disk may contain 50 per cent of water, that of the next, or second inch, only 35 per cent, and that of the heartwood only 20 per cent. In such a tree the amount of water in any one sec tion varies with the amount of sapwood, and is therefore greater for the upper than the lower cuts, greater for the limbs than stems, and greatest of all in the roots. Different trees, even of the same kind and from the same place, differ as to the amount of water they contain. A thrifty tree contains more water than a stunted one, and a young tree more than an old one, while the wood of all trees varies in its moisture relations with the season of the year.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern forest products research had its start hardly fifty years ago. Today we are in a position to apply the title "wood science" to the field of wood technology that is based on scientific investigation, theoretical as well as experimental. It is this research that fosters new uses for wood as a raw material and that creates the foundation for new industries for the manufacture of wood-base materials such as plywood, laminated products, particle and fiber board and sand wich construction. Wood technology in its broadest sense combines the disciplines of wood anatomy, biology, chemistry, physics and mechanical technology. It is through this interdisciplinary approach that progress has been made in wood seasoning, wood preservation methods, wood machining, surfacing and gluing, and in the many other processes applied in its utilization. In 1936 the senior author published a book entitled, "Technologie des Holzes", which was a first approach to a universal reference book on wood technology. The first edition of Volume I of the Textbook of Wood Technology, co-authored by H. P. BROWN, A. J. P AN SHIN , and C. C. FORSAITH, was published in 1948. An indication of the rapid development of this field can be gained from the fact that the second edition of "Technologie des Holzes und der Holzwerkstoffe", completely revised, was needed by 1951. It contains 2233 pages compared with the 764 pages of the 1936 edition.
