DIN EN 12490:2010-11 EN 12490:2010 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the reference methods for determining the penetration and retention of creosote in timber freshly treated with creosote, principa

23、lly in order to ascertain whether the treated timber conforms to specifications written in terms of EN 351-1. It also provides guidance on the acquisition of test samples and their handling between sampling and analysis. NOTE In the day-to-day practice at the plant, other methods (e.g. weighing the

24、charge before and after treatment) can be used for determining the retention, provided that a significant relationship can be established with this method. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

For de

32、finition of “charge“ see 3.3. 3.8 test sample portion of preservative treated wood taken from a sampling unit, in accordance with the recommendations of EN 351-2 3.9 transition wood wood in a zone between the true sapwood and the true heartwood Adapted from EN 1001-2:2005, 1.45 NOTE This is distingu

33、ishable only in a very few wood species. In general its treatability is similar to that of heartwood. 4 Sampling of creosote-treated wood for the determination of penetration and retention 4.1 General requirements The acquisition of sampling units and test samples shall follow the procedures establi

34、shed in EN 351-1 and EN 351-2. Additionally, when sampling from a freshly treated batch, the wood shall be allowed to cool to ambient temperature before taking test samples. DIN EN 12490:2010-11 EN 12490:2010 (E) 6 4.2 Specific requirements for test samples for the determination of penetration The p

35、enetration of creosote in each of the test samples shall be determined immediately after sampling, according to Clause 5, in order to avoid creosote migration from the treated to the untreated area. 4.3 Specific requirements for test samples for the determination of retention A batch to be sampled f

36、or the determination of retention shall be sampled at a time less than 30 days after the treatment. NOTE 1 The retention requirements defined by the specifier are only applicable to treated wood as produced, not to the treated wood in service. The composite sample for a batch or charge shall compris

37、e test samples taken in accordance with the chosen sampling plan. Sufficient test sample material shall be taken to ensure that at least 1 g of creosote is contained in the composite sample. NOTE 2 Wood treated with creosote by vacuum/high pressure processes can normally be expected to contain more

38、than 10 % by mass of creosote. Therefore, it will require approximately 10 g to 12 g of creosoted wood to obtain at least 1 g of creosote in the composite sample. NOTE 3 The larger the number of test samples included in the composite sample, the more accurate the resultant retention determination sh

39、ould be. As soon as possible after the test samples have been obtained, and the penetration measured the wood not included in the specified analytical zone of the test samples shall be removed. The remaining wood constitutes the composite sample for the determination of retention. NOTE 4 If the pene

40、tration and retention are determined from the same test samples, the penetration should be determined before any wood is removed from the test samples. The composite sample shall be stored in a stoppered glass bottle to prevent any free creosote being lost before the analysis. 5 Determination of the

41、 penetration of creosote in treated wood For each of the test samples, measure and record the penetration of creosote in the treated wood, as the distance, in millimetres (mm), of the furthest point from the surface to which creosote can be seen to be present in the wood, in accordance with the gene

42、ral recommendations in EN 351-2. NOTE 1 Penetration should be assessed visually from a freshly cut test sample, the colour of the creosote clearly indicating its extent in the treated timber. NOTE 2 In some cases the creosote may not penetrate continuously through the early and late wood of the trea

43、ted timber. NOTE 3 If the boundary between the sapwood and the heartwood cannot be distinguished visually, in some cases a chemical method can be used to distinguish between them. Some examples are given in Annex A. Where no distinction is possible, all the wood is regarded as sapwood. NOTE 4 Occasi

44、onally small zones of sapwood adjacent to the heartwood cannot be treated, for example transition wood. These should be ignored for the purposes of assessing sapwood penetration. NOTE 5 Creosote treated zones can be subsurfaced by migrating creosote during sampling. To fully visualize creosote treat

45、ed zones within taken voluminous drilling cores from sampling units, a final cut through the centre of the core, direction from the untreated to the treated zone and therefore surface, should be made. The inner untreated zone cannot be subsurfaced. DIN EN 12490:2010-11 EN 12490:2010 (E) 7 6 Determin
