The qualitative analysis consisted in comparing the change produced in the suction of the rocks, both in water suction (capillary suction coefficient expressed in g/m 2 s 1/2 ) and in the penetration height (penetration coefficient expressed in cm/h 1/2 ). The comparison aimed to evaluate whether the penetration was homogeneous or to what extent it formed a superficial crust. This analysis was carried out only for the rocks from Uncastillo, Campanil limestone and for the pine wood. We must explain that both in the “handmade” and “GPM” poultices that were placed in sandstonefrom Uncastillo and in Campanil limestone, there were two test tubes that presented thicker pores and two that presented thinner pores. In the sandstone from Uncastillo (handmade poultice) the fine pored sandstones gained suction coefficient when consolidated and the thick pored ones lost it. In the case of the “GPM”, the same happened, but only with the fine pored sandstones, as the second ones lost suction coefficient when consolidated. In the Campanil limestone, both in ”GPM” and in “handmade” poultices, those with fine pores gained suction coefficient (although the values were close to zero) and those with thick pores lost it. The gain in fine pores limestones was greater in the “GPM” ones. Regarding pine wood, the “GPM” test tubes lost suction coefficient and the “handmade” specimens gained it (with the exception of one test tube), although the surpassing values were very low in both cases. In summary, the results showed significant differences depending on the pore size of the test tubes and the materials, which seemed to consolidate more homogeneously in the finest pore sizes. There were no significant differences depending on the type of poultice used. The results indicated a complex interaction between the consolidant, the poultice and the substrate. © 2023 Global Journals Volume XXIII Issue II Version I 12 ( ) Global Journal of Human Social Science - Year 2023 C Poultices Generated Mechanically with Compressed Air: “Gunpoint Mix System” Characterization and Properties.
