THE EFFECTS OF SEASONAL CHANGES ON THE COMBUSTION DURATION OF THE CEDAR (Cedrus libani A. Rich.) AND ORIENTAL SPRUCE (Picea Orientalis Lipsky) WOOD SAMPLES
Abstract
In this study, the effects of the wood’s combustion properties on
the combustion duration are investigated towards the protection of the
wood samples from the effects of outdoor by using various impregnation
and high-level processes. For that purpose, in accordance with the given
principles on the standard of combustion test ASTM–E 160-50 test
samples from cedar (Cedrus libani A.Rich.) and spruce (Picea orientalis
L.) are impregnated with tanalith-E and wolmanit-CB impregnation
materials then water based and synthetic outdoor varnishes are applied
as a high level process, afterwards seasonal effects on outdoor
conditions are analysed. According to the
obtained findings, first failure time for spruce wood samples the peak
is 457 seconds in winter and the minimum is 257 seconds in fall, for
cedar wood samples the top time is 479 seconds and the minimum time is
326 seconds in winter samples. In all combustion durations, top time at
spruce wood samples is 2105 seconds at control examples and minimum time
is 1143 seconds in summer samples. For cedar wood samples the top time
confirmed is 2707 seconds in fall samples and minimum time is 1338
seconds in summer examples.
