Comparisons of Rates of Air Drying and Shed Drying for Chestnut and Paulownia Soundboards

밤나무와 오동나무 향판용재(響板用材)의 옥외(屋外) 옥내(屋內) 천연건조(天然乾燥) 속도(速度)의 비교(比較)

Chestnut and paulownia boards for the traditional musical instruments were air dried to compare moisture contents(MC), drying rates and drying times between the air drying for 70 days in a yard and the shed drying for 150 days in a closed shed when piled in early June. An average final MC and the drying rate of chestnut boards were 20.6 percent and 0.78%/day for the air drying, and 16.6 percent and 0.44%/day for the shed drying. An average final MC and the drying rate of paulownia boards were 16.7 percent and 1.53%/day for the air drying, and 13.5 percent and 0.77%/day for the shed drying. Drying rates of air-dried boards were nearly twice as high as those of shed-dried boards for both species. Air drying rates of chestnut and paulownia boards were very high and exhibited falling drying rate above the fiber saturation point(30%), and then decreased irregularly. However, shed drying rates of chestnut and paulownia boards were high and exhibited falling drying rate above 55 percent MC for chestnut boards and above 80 percent MC for paulownia boards, and then decreased irregularly.

우리 전통 악기용 밤나무와 오동나무 향판용재를 여름 초순부터 잔적하여 70일간 옥외 천연건조와 150일간 옥내 천연건조하여 함수율, 건조속도 및 건조시간을 비교하였다. 밤나무 판재의 평균 최종함수율과 건조속도는 옥외천연건조의 경우 각각 20.6%와 0.78%/일(日)이었고, 옥내 천연건조의 경우 각각 16.6%와 0.44%/일(日)이었다. 오동나무 판재의 평균 최종함수율과 건조속도는 옥외 천연건조의 경우 각각 16.7% 와 1.53%/일(日)이었고, 옥내 천연건조의 경우 각각 13.5%와 0.77%/일(日)이었다. 이들 수종의 옥외 평균 천연건조속도는 옥내 경우보다 2배 정도 더 컸었는데 섬유포화점(30%) 이상에서 매우 컸었으며 감율건조하다가, 섬유포화점 이하에서는 불규칙하게 감소하였다. 그러나 옥내 천연건조속도는 밤나무의 경우 함수율 55% 이상, 그리고 오동나무의 경우는 함수율 80% 이상에서 컸었으며 감율건조하다가, 이들 함수율 이하부터 불규칙하게 감소하였다.
