  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. 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

  4. 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.

  5. 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).

  6. 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.

  7. Thermal destratification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_destratification

    In a stratified building, temperature differentials of up to 1.5°C per vertical foot is common, and the higher a building's ceiling, the more extreme this temperature differential can be. [2] In extreme cases, temperature differentials of 10°C have been found over a height of 1 meter.

  8. Wood finishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_finishing

    Once the wood surface is prepared and stained, the finish is applied. It usually consists of several coats of wax, shellac, drying oil, lacquer, varnish, or paint, and each coat is typically followed by sanding. Finally, the surface may be polished or buffed using steel wool, pumice, rotten stone or other materials, depending on the shine ...

  9. 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 ...
