This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 Excerpt: ...show an injection of 10 pounds per cubic foot and the pressure is then released, only 8 pounds per cubic foot will be left in the ties. If, on the other hand, the "kickback" is considered, then the pumps will be kept running until the gauges indicate an absorp 1 When the preliminary vacuum was drawn, only 3 minutes of oil pressure were required to force 12.3 pounds of oil per cubic foot into the wood, but when the cylinder and wood were first filled with compressed air it took 78 minutes to force 12 pounds of oil per cubic foot into the wood. That the preliminary vacuum rendered it easier to force the preservative into the wood is therefore apparent. After the run the sticks were split and the penetration in run 3 was found to be slightly greater than in runs 1 and 2. Furthermore, the sticks in run 3 were treated more uniformly than in the other runs, especially run 2, in which the penetration and absorption were very irregular. tion of 12.5 pounds per cubic foot, which on the release of pressure will leave 10 pounds per cubic foot in the ties. If this "kick-back" is released through an underground tank or some measuring tank other than the one used during treatment (and this is a common practice), the chances for error in measuring the absorption are increased. Expansion of Wood.--Another possible source of error in measuring absorption is the expansion of the wood due to raising its temperature. Assuming the thermal coefficient of linear expansion of wood, 0.00001 per degree Centigrade parallel to the fiber and 0.00006 across the fiber1 and that the wood is raised in temperature 60 C. (140 F.) during treatment, then the increase of volume in a charge of say 800 ties will be about 22 cubic feet, equivalent to about 1,386 pound of creoso...
