Abstract

In this study, the thermal conductivity of varnished fir wood exposed to sea water steam was investigated. For this purpose, test samples were coated by using varnishing goldspar (polyurethane varnish), original (synthetic varnish), perfection (polyurethane varnish), and schooner varnishes (synthetic varnish). After applying furnished process, samples were exposed to sea water steam during 6, 24, 60, and 96 hours. It was found that the vapour application has decreased the chemical and physical structure of test material. The thermal conductivity test was performed based on the ASTM C 1113-99 hot-wire method.
