Heating Rates for Logs, Bolts, and Flitches to Be Cut Into Veneer.

摘要

The heating of logs, bolts, and flitches to be cut into high-quality rotary or sliced veneer requires a knowledge of the temperatures appropriate for various species and conditions, and of the factors that control the attainment of these temperatures during the heating process. Good equipment and good control of the heating process are essential. Under the guidelines given in this paper, optimum temperature levels for different woods and different conditions can be determined, and time schedules can be calculated for heating in steam or water.
