THERMOWOOD STRENGTH
Strength of wood material in general has a strong correlation with density and thermoWood has slightly lower density after the treatment. Therefore،it is obvious that thermoWood in some cases has lower strength values. However،the weight-to-strength ratio can remain practically unchanged. The strength of wood is also highly dependent on the moisture content and its relative […]
Thermowood bending strength
Two methods for testing bending strength have been used،one using defect-free material over a short span and the other utilising pieces having natural defects over a longer span. The results show that substantial strength loss in pine starts at temperatures over 220 0 c. The strength of heat-treated (2300c،5hours) spruce was studied with larger test […]
