- La première repose sur l'observation anatomique et la propriété des vaisseaux non obstrués ou partiellement obstrués par des thylles de laisser filtrer la lumière.
- La seconde consiste à réaliser des mesures de la perméabilité à l'air sur des éprouvettes cylindriques taillées dans la direction longitudinale.L'infradensité des échantillons a été également mesuré.
Les observations en Microscopie Électronique à Balayage ont permis d'étudier la structure fine des thylles et de déceler la présence de spores et d'hyphes mycéliens.
Les résultats sont analysés avec un logiciel de traitement statistique des données.
Nous avons pu déterminer l'effet néfaste des développements microbiologiques, en particulier des champignons, sur la perméabilité longitudinale et la quantité de la thyllose du bois en cas de maturation trop longue.
The tightness of wood sessile and pedunculate oaks in the longitudinal direction depends on the quantity and quality of tylosis.
In recent years, an unusually high rate of leak in barrels made was noted.
An experimental study was conducted on two barrels leaking and leakage observed resulted in a fine exploration of the pathways of the colored liquid inside the defective staves.
We were able to connect a low tylosis with migration of liquid that can be done along the length of a stave.
In addition, a special production of staves was conducted to understand the influence of the height in the tree, the cambial age, watering and curing parameters of staves (time, position in the stack) on the permeability and thyllose.
It was necessary to develop a method to quantify the tylosis.
Two methods are used:
- The first observation is based on anatomical and ownership of vessels not blocked or partially blocked by tylosis to let light through.
- The second is to take measurements of air permeability on cylindrical cut in the longitudinal direction. Infradensity of the samples were also measured.
The observations in Scanning Electron Microscopy were used to examine the fine structure of tylosis and the presence of spores and mycelial hyphae.
The results are analyzed with a software statistical processing of data.
We were able to determine the adverse effect of microbiological growth, especially fungi, the longitudinal permeability and the amount of tylosis timber if too long maturation.
