  2. Thermally modified wood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermally_modified_wood

    Thermally modified wood is engineered wood that has been modified by a controlled pyrolysis process of wood being heated to (> 180 °C) in an oxygen free atmosphere. This process changes to the chemical structures of wood's cell wall components lignin , cellulose and hemicellulose which decreases its hygroscopy and thus increases dimensional ...

  3. Tanzanite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanzanite

    Since heat treatment is universal, it has no effect on price, and finished gems are assumed to be heat-treated. Gemological Institute of America states that the source of heating is gemologically undetectable, but is assumed because of its prevalence. [33] Tanzanite may be subjected to other forms of treatment as well.

  4. ISPM 15 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISPM_15

    ISPM 15 affects all wood packaging material (pallets, crates, dunnages, etc.) and requires that they be debarked and then heat treated or fumigated with methyl bromide, and stamped or branded [1] with a mark of compliance. This mark of compliance is colloquially known as the "wheat stamp".

  5. Wood preservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_preservation

    PTI pressure treated wood products are no more corrosive than untreated wood and are approved for all types of metal contact, including aluminum. PTI pressure treated wood products are relatively new to the market place and are not yet widely available in building supply stores.

  6. Wood drying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_drying

    These IPPC markings on a wood pallet indicate KD: kiln-dried, HT: heat treated, and DB: debarked. Essentially all wood packaging material that is exported to an IPPC member state must have a stamp such as this. When green wood dries, free water from the cell lumina, held by the capillary forces only, is the first to go.

  7. Engineered wood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_wood

    Large self-supporting wooden roof built for Expo 2000 in Hanover, Germany. Engineered wood, also called mass timber, composite wood, man-made wood, or manufactured board, includes a range of derivative wood products which are manufactured by binding or fixing the strands, particles, fibres, or veneers or boards of wood, together with adhesives, or other methods of fixation [1] to form ...

  8. List of thermal conductivities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_thermal_conductivities

    In heat transfer, the thermal conductivity of a substance, k, is an intensive property that indicates its ability to conduct heat. For most materials, the amount of heat conducted varies (usually non-linearly) with temperature. [1] Thermal conductivity is often measured with laser flash analysis. Alternative measurements are also established.

  9. BS 1088 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BS_1088

    WBP Glue Line-- BS 1088 plywood must use an adhesive, which has been proven to be highly resistant to weather, micro-organisms, cold and boiling water, steam and dry heat. The product's bonding must pass a series of British Standard tests.
