Wood Preservation Performance Data for Pinus Stakes Under Five Treatments

160 wood samples were monitored for 400 days in a field decay test comparing reused soybean and waste mineral oils. Variables analyzed include preservative absorption, mass loss, and visual deterioration index. The heated soybean vegetable oil (150°C) exhibited the best performance, showing higher absorption, lower mass loss, and improved visual appearance.

Use Cases

• Compare the efficacy of vegetable versus mineral oil treatments based on preservative absorption data
• Model wood decay rates based on mass loss measurements over 400 days
• Validate visual assessment methods for wood deterioration based on the correlation between visual rating and mass loss
• Analyze the impact of application temperature (cold vs. hot) on preservative performance

Strengths

• Includes 160 wood samples, providing a substantial experimental base
• Data covers a 400-day monitoring period, offering longitudinal decay metrics
• Statistical analysis results (H=18.73; p=0.0009) and correlations (ρ=-1.0; ρ=-0.83) are explicitly reported

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic or environmental bias inherent to the specific field test
