The stock thus moves progressively through the kiln until it emerges, supposedly dry, after a specified time of exposure to the various conditions along the length of the kiln. The temperature and...
Página 235 - The temperature and relative humidity at any point are intended to remain constant, but the kiln is hotter and drier at the dry end than at the green end.

Página 223 - ... Principles of Bending Wood of certain species steamed or soaked in boiling water can be compressed as much as 25 to 30 percent parallel to the grain. The same wood can be stretched only 1 to 2 percent.

The inner or concave side must assume the maximum amount of compression and the outer or...

Practically all of them also are automatically fed. In systems in which binders such as pitch are used and in those in which the resins of the wood serve...

Página 108 - When possible, it is good practice to season the stock in the board or plank form before working up into dimension stock. The handling costs are also materially greater than for an equal footage of material in board form. The requirements of the various consumers may mean a considerable number of standard sizes would be required. Production efficiency and quick handling of stock may mean that the number of sizes produced should be kept at a minimum, and that only standard items in greatest demand...
