Description
This work view wood and its derived products
valuable assets to the power and machines
industry. It deals with conunonly available wood
-'L··~··~. .. ,.,,.. in the Nigerian forests and market (2).
These woods have been analysed in the fresh
and after heat treatment. The work covers
e water and oil absorption capacity of the
various samples and the effect of same on the
· Insulation resistance of the samples. It has been
established that the sample has a reasonable
'Insulation resistance (greater than 100Mn at
· V) in the treated slate and zero mega-ohm (at
when the samples were immersed in water.
hl' all the samples, the of water ab~orption was
h1uch greater then the rate of oil absbrplion
