[...] La densité réelle est une caractéristique invariable pour un sol donné; les valeurs mesurées sont souvent de l'ordre de 2,5.

An exception to the pressing methods discussed previously occurs in the semi-dry hardboard plants. Mats are formed at moisture contents of about 25 to 30%(oven-dry basis). Screens similar to those used in the wet-process line are used to transport the mats. During hot pressing, these screens allow rapid venting of the moisture from the mat. The bottom surface of the pressed board has a screen impression, termed "screen-back", like that found on wet-process hardboards. Only relatively thin boards can be made with this type of pressing. 3, record 12, English, - screenback
