Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometer

Using an atomic fluorescence spectrometer to detect the composition of preservatives and the loading capacity of wood preservatives.

 

Significance of Preservative Content Testing in Treated Wood

 

Key Importance

1. Quality Assurance

  • Ensures proper preservative penetration
  • - Verifies minimum retention levels
  • - Maintains consistent product quality

2. Structural Integrity

  • - Prevents premature decay
  • - Extends service life
  • - Maintains load-bearing capacity

3. Safety Considerations

  • - Prevents structural failures
  • - Reduces maintenance costs
  • - Ensures long-term performance

4. Compliance Requirements

  • - Meets industry standards (AWPA, EN)
  • - Required for certification
  • - Essential for marine applications

Testing Parameters

1. Effective Component Analysis

  • - Measures active ingredients
  • - Ensures proper chemical balance
  • - Verifies treatment effectiveness

2. Penetration Depth

  • - Critical for marine environments
  • - Prevents surface-only protection
  • - Ensures full sapwood treatment

3. Retention Levels

  • - Varies by application
  • - Higher requirements for harsh environments
  • - Essential for long-term durability
