  2. Conservation and restoration of panel paintings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_and...

    High Humidity reduces mechanical damage such as brittle paint but raises the risks of biological organisms, e.g. white efflorescence and green-to-black stains on a panel painting. [12] High Humidity also raises the risks of curving or warping of the wood over time, forcing the paint to flake off.

  3. Wood drying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_drying

    The actual temperature in a drying kiln is the dry-bulb temperature (usually denoted by Tg), which is the temperature of a vapour-gas mixture determined by inserting a thermometer with a dry bulb. On the other hand, the wet-bulb temperature (TW) is defined as the temperature reached by a small amount of liquid evaporating in a large amount of ...

  4. Conservation and restoration of paintings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_and...

    Increased heat from light creates paint soften: 68 °F ± 2° High temperature softens paint. low temperature causes brittle paint. Oil Paint [23] 40–45% or 45–45%: Expansion and contraction of painting, wood and fabric absorb moisture or shrink, paint cracks and flakes, or sags: max 200 lux: Fading or darkening of painting

  5. Thermally modified wood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermally_modified_wood

    This process is similar to the Les Bois Perdure treatment in that it uses a steam environment at atmospheric pressure to treat the wood. However, this process can also be used on "green" wood and was the most widely used commercial process as of 2004. [5] [10] Genuine industrial scale ThermoWood process was developed in Finland in 1990's.

  6. Wood preservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_preservation

    The temperature of the preservative in the hot bath should be between 60 to 110 °C (140 to 230 °F) and 30 to 40 °C (86 to 104 °F) in the cold bath (depending on preservative and tree species). The average penetration depths achieved with this process ranges from 30 to 50 mm (1.2 to 2.0 in).

  7. Green woodworking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_woodworking

    Green woodworking (also written greenwoodworking) is a form of woodworking that uses unseasoned or "green" timber. The term "unseasoned" refers to wood that has been freshly felled or preserved by storing it in a water-filled trough or pond to maintain its naturally high moisture content.

  8. Temperature control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_control

    Temperature measuring and controlling module for microcontroller experiment. Temperature control is a process in which change of temperature of a space (and objects collectively there within), or of a substance, is measured or otherwise detected, and the passage of heat energy into or out of the space or substance is adjusted to achieve a desired temperature.

  9. Green wood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_wood

    Green wood is considered to have 100% moisture content relative to air-dried or seasoned wood, which is considered to be 20%. Energy density charts for wood fuels tend to use air dried wood as their reference, thus oven dried or 0% moisture content can reflect 103.4% energy content.
