Abstract
Regression mathematical models of impregnation of wood samples are developed. Samples of radial and tangential cutting with equal cross-sectional area are used. Samples have different lengths. To determine the specific absorption necessary to measure the dimensions of the samples, weigh them before and after exposure to liquids. Identification parameters of the mathematical model and calculation of the liquid absorption through the radial, tangential and end faces of wood samples are then performed. The technique does not require any sealing surface of the sample.
