MEASUREMENTS OF DEPTH OF CHAR ON WOODS EXPOSED TO HIGH-INTENSITY THERMAL RADIATION

Abstract

Protective coatings of woods were tested for their efficaoy against high intensity thermal radiation, using depth of chars the criterion of damage to the wood. This method was found to be reliable, when the limitation of the nonuniformity of the wood was overcome by taking a large number of readings. Field and laboratory results agree with each other within the limits of accuracy described by the small number of field samples.
