Abstract

This specification covers single log configuration marine wood camels, treated and untreated, hereinafter referred to as log camels. <b><u>Intended Use:</u></b> Log camels are intended for use as a floating device to breast out a vessel from a pier or mooring, or to separate two vessels to provide protection to the vessels and minimize damage to pier pilings. The log camels covered in this specification are for fresh water or sea water use. Type I, class 1 log camels are for use in marine waters in those areas of moderate borer hazard where limnoria tripunctata attack is limited or not expected (primarily in northern latitudes but with exceptions in both northern and southern latitudes). Type I, class 2 log camels are for use in marine waters in those areas of severe borer hazard where limnoria tripunctata attack is known or expected and where pholad attack is absent. Type I, class 3 log camels are for use in marine waters in those areas of severe borer hazard where limnoria tripunctata and pholad attack is known or expected. Type II, untreated log camels are for use in fresh water, where there is no marine borer hazard. <br>
