MOISTURE SORPTION – ITS FLUCTUATION AND INHERENT VARIATION IN KILN DRIED, COMMERCIAL SOFTWOOD BOARDS
Moisture content in wood is a volatile feature, continuously changing under influence of the oscillating ambient climate. Unquestionably an essential quality trait for the timber, the MC and other drying …
RFID TAGS APPLIED FOR TRACING TIMBER IN THE FOREST PRODUCTS CHAIN
Wood products are typically produced in ‘break-down and sorting’ processes: stems are cross-cut and sorted into saw-, pulp- and energy-logs; sawlogs are sawn to boards and sorted according to quality, …
HIGH CAPACITY TIMBER SAWING BASED ON ACCURATE LOG SCALING
Commercial timber sawing is always done in trade-off between yield and capacity, between cost of raw material and of production. Accurate knowledge of the dimensions for every single log is …
MODELLING A WOOD DENSITY PROFILE ALONG STEMS OF CULTIVATED NORWAY SPRUCE
Density is one of the most basic quality traits, influential for wood processing and most applications. The aim of this paper has been to present a mathematical model for dry …
INTRA-LOG SAWN TIMBER QUALITY VARIATION IN NORWAY SPRUCE
Sawmillers want to have predictable and homogeneous timber outcome from their industry. This paper analyses and discusses how well timber quality of boards from the same log, and in particular …
