A splendid animation! My only question is how does the liquid reach all the wood surfaces when the planks are lying on top of each other, especially the lower ones where there's more weight pressing them together? Presumably the planks are tied down otherwise they'd float off the trolley when the tank is filled with liquid.
@@frank_zapping Hey Fanta, quick question, im a treater and was wondering what 12 bar means, just curious, still trying to learn all i can. P.S. thought i seen Koppers name pop up, they happen to be our chemical supplier, thought that was pretty cool.
Dam I was hoping I could legitimately be able to pressure treat wood at home. Nope. I was at Lowe's and a single 4 by 4 post at 12ft was around 42 bucks! Insane!
I'm a QC at a lumber treating plant, so as the charge is going through its treating process the units expand creating space for the chemicals to move through. The only unproven is if the middle pieces will hav the same retention as the outer pieces !!! National standard is .145 retention some companies prefer. 15.
in australia we know it as cca - copper as the fungicide, chrome as the binding agent, and arsenic as the insect inhibitor. which is why you should not burn treated wood.
Pressure treated lumber is a step up from conventional lumber. But it is not the end all of end all. If properly used and allowed to dry it is good. But if it comes in ground contact, with water/moisture, and does not dry out from time to time, it last no longer than traditional, untreated lumber.
@@MikeThePoleBarnGuru thats a long way of saying "it depends." . Most pressure treated and severe weather products in the big hardware stores don't have arsenic anymore . In rainy areas like the PNW these fence post rot out all the time . THen in the age of tech there must be dozens of products that better serve the purpose than the sketchiness of arsenic
@@NWforager There are now an entire alphabet soup of pressure preservative treated chemicals available. The fence posts you see "rotting out all the time" are most likely not pressure treated at all - most of them are untreatable species and have been merely dipped in preservative chemicals. For a lifetime of service, look for a UC-4B rated pressure treating label.
Whoever did the animation deserves a big high five
Whoever did the sound effects deserves to be fired.
Exactly it was easy to follow.
*beep beep bop*
@@demef758 they sound annoying at first, but when you get used to them its pretty satisfying 😂
Salute
Very good and informative video on how wood is preserved, thank you.
I saw the "air" really gone, well done and very useful. thanks!
Excellent and brilliant animation !!!!!!!!

Thin strips of wood lathe are placed between each layer of wood to allow chemicals to reach all sides.
Ancient Chinese Secret
Regardless, I coat the base of fence posts with oil where they fit in the concrete then bitumen paint up from the concrete to the bottom fence rail.
You don'need to put anything since working pressure is about 12 bar! Trust me, I work with these plants👍

Insane? Well now that you see how it's done, think about what that equipment costs. That's why it was 42 dollars.
Just live in a pod and eat bugs so you don’t have to worry about money
Well you could if you're will to invest into the gear.
Amazingly presented ❤️
Very nice
Is this rueping process or lawry process?
Whoever made these sound effects needs to drink the treatment solution.
I was about to say the same dam thing lmbo
Can you cut pressure treated wood, and it remains pressure treated on the cut edge or is it now exposed?
Yes it remains treated.
perfect
thank you
How much pressure is needed for the borate to penetrate the wood?
I don't know why anybody would dislike this video lol 🤷🏾♂️
They don't understand this process. Wideo+Words+Animation= Stimulate imagine, looking, hearing. For somebody, I think is too hard.
@@reactormovie1529 I just though the sound effects were unnecessary
@@atomicash2475 but... they're the best part!
this was very funny but there is one big plot hole- why are there air bubbles after the air has been very clearly removed?
These sound effects are great
Because nobody forced us to watch this
Seriously though how do the expect all the boards in the middle to get the same amount as the outside boards if they are packed together

They're all submerged under the solution.
Which chemical solution use in this process
It is made up from mostly water and preservatives that protect the wood from decaying or infestations.
We use micronized copper.
in australia we know it as cca - copper as the fungicide, chrome as the binding agent, and arsenic as the insect inhibitor. which is why you should not burn treated wood.
Uranium and water solution

Graffics are insane
Real pressure treated lumber has vanished 30 years ago and stuff you buy today you may as well treat it yourself.
okay
