Amdt 5; amdt 6 SANS 753:2009 Edition 4.7 1 Introduction Creosotes used for treating timber vary in colour; the blacknes

12、s of creosote is no indication of its quality. Some very good wood-preserving creosotes either do not blacken wood at all or do so only very slightly. The results of standard service tests and research have shown that creosotes that comply with the requirements of SANS 616 perform equally under Sout

13、h African conditions, which range from semi-desert to subtropical. Correctly applied, these creosotes will give timber in contact with the ground an expected service life of more than 40 years. Amdt 7 The addition to creosote of up to 30 % (V/V) of waxy oil that complies with the requirements of SAN

14、S 1265 improves the treated timbers resistance to weathering, without reducing its service life; this is particularly so when poles are used horizontally as cross-arms. Timber treated with creosote or with a mixture of creosote and waxy oil suffers less damage from grass fires than does untreated wo

15、od (which presents a serious fire hazard). After re-drying, timber treated with a mixture of copper-chromium-arsenic compounds is, owing to “afterglow“, more susceptible to damage by fire than is timber treated with creosote or with a mixture of creosote and waxy oil. The grading in the standard is

16、based on the assumption that the poles, cross-arms and spacers are to be used in the dimensions in which they are graded. Conversion of any kind after treatment will reduce the expected service life. Where notching or drilling of timber is necessary after it has been treated with a preservative, the

17、 exposed wood should be liberally coated with the same type of preservative at the recommended treating temperature, a post-hole treater being used where relevant. The species allowed in terms of the standard were selected because of their known strength and long-term service records. If any other s

18、pecies is required, it is recommended that the South African Bureau of Standards be consulted regarding its suitability. The standard applies to the condition of the timber at the time of despatch and does not cover deterioration brought about during transportation and storage. SANS 753:2009 Edition

23、eosote, a mixture of creosote and waxy oil, or a mixture of copper-chromium-arsenic compounds (CCA), and that are intended to be used as upright supports for street lighting and telephone systems, and as upright supports, cross-arms and spacers (in five-pole structures) for power distribution lines.
