INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF THE COMBUSTION SITE ON WOOD SPECIMENS WITH THE USE OF IR DIAGNOSTICS

We have investigated under laboratory conditions the effect of the combustion site modeled by a steppe combustible on wood specimens of different profi les (fl at and cylindrical specimens) with the use of IR diagnostics. Experiments were carried out with the use of a JADE J5330SB infrared imager in the spectral range of 2.64–3.25 μm. The temperature profi les on the surface of wood specimens of different forms (fl at and cylindrical specimens) have been obtained and the heat-stressed parts under the action of the model combustion site imitating a low-intensity low forest fi re have been determined.
