    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    CONTAINED IN VOL. 04.10, 2015 Specifies the determination of various strength and related properties of wood by testing small clear specimens.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    1.1These test methods cover the determination of various strength and related properties of wood by testing small clear specimens.

    1.1.1These test methods represent procedures for evaluating the different mechanical and physical properties, controlling factors such as specimen size, moisture content, temperature, and rate of loading.

    1.1.2Sampling and collection of material is discussed in Practice D5536. Sample data, computation sheets, and cards have been incorporated, which were of assistance to the investigator in systematizing records.

    1.1.3The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard. When a weight is prescribed, the basic inch-pound unit of weight (lbf) and the basic SI unit of mass (Kg) are cited.

    1.2The procedures for the various tests appear in the following order:
