full-cell process

[¦fu̇l ¦sel ′präs·əs]

(engineering)

A process of preservative treatment of wood that uses a pressure vessel and first draws a vacuum on the charge of wood and then introduces the preservative without breaking the vacuum. Also known as Bethell process.

This effect would mostly impact leaching and efficacy research studies where small wood samples are treated using a full-cell process with a biocide than can fix to wood, such as the metallics, and subsequently quickly dried.

Creosote and penta products are usually treated by an empty-cell process, while lumber treated with waterborne systems is treated by a full-cell or modified full-cell process.

This study examined the within- and among-sample CCA-C retention variation for small defect-free sapwood SYP field stakes treated together by a full-cell process in a laboratory cylinder.

Each set consisted of 20 boards, with each set treated with CCA-C in one charge by a full-cell or modified full-cell process to a target CCA retention of 0.

Seven sets of kiln-dried SYP 2 by 4's, all 8 feet long, with 20 boards per set, were individually treated with ACQ-D by a full-cell process to a target retention of either 0.

The amount of preservative impregnated into dried wood that is permeable to the treating solution during a full-cell process should be directly correlated to the wood's air void volume, with the air void volume determined by the lumber's SG and MC (Siau 1971).
