Is 78.7 a B grade?
In some grading systems, it would be, but there are many grading systems used where it would be a different grade.
What type of glues is used to join timber?
Different types of PVA are used to join timber.
What are the types of timber used in seasoning?
As fresh timber which is obtained from trees contains about 30 to 40 % sap or moisture. This sap is very harmful for the life of a timber. Therefore, it is necessary to remove that sap by applying some special methods. All those methods which are used for removing the sap from timber are collectively termed as seasoning of timber. Types of Timber Seasoning: The main types of timber seasoning are as under. (1)Natural Seasoning, (2)Artificial Seasoning, (a) Kiln Seasoning, (b) Chemical Seasoning, (c) Electric Seasoning, (3) Water Seasoning
How you improve timber lifetime?
there are lots of techniques by which we can improve the life of a timber like seasoning of timber,by applying different types preservatives coat before it is used.
What is c4562 graded timber?
C4562 graded timber refers to a specific classification of structural timber that meets certain strength and durability standards, primarily used in construction and building applications. The "C" indicates that it is a visually graded timber, with the number representing the strength classification, where C4 signifies a medium strength grade. This grading ensures that the timber is suitable for various structural uses, providing reliability and safety in construction projects. It is commonly used in beams, joists, and other load-bearing applications.
What are the differences between the European grading system and other grading systems used worldwide?
The European grading system typically uses a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest grade. Other grading systems around the world may use different scales, such as letter grades (A, B, C, etc.) or percentages. Additionally, the criteria for grading and the weight given to different assessments may vary between systems.
What is stress grading in timber and where would you use it?
If I understand your query correctly, stress grading refers to how much load a particular piece of lumber can handle. The longer a board the more it will flex, thus less load it can take. Different sizes and species will vary in their abilities. Such as Douglas fir is stonger than SPF. Laminated beams (LVL) is stronger than DOuglas fir.Stress grading of timber•Structural grading is the process by which timber is sorted into groups (Stress Grade) with ideally, similar structural properties in each group. Structural grading can be performed in a number of ways including the following:•Visual stress-grading•Machine stress-grading•Machine proof-gradingVisual stress-grading•In softwoods, pith is the dark spot that was the upward growing twig when the tree was very, very young. The density of the wood is low, this can reduce the strength of the timber. In grading of softwoods, the visual grader has to estimate the spacing of the annual rings to determine whether or not a piece with core wood is within the specification of this grade.•Surface checks are shallow cracks on the surface, mainly from the release of residual stresses on drying. The grader must check all cracks to see that they are not a split (that runs from one face to the other), and if a check (shallow crack) that they are not too wide, or too long.Knots - depending on the location of the knots, different limits apply. They are estimated in these rules by the Knot Area Ratio (KAR) which requires a grader to visualise the knots going right through the cross-section. The KAR is the percentage of the cross -section that is taken up with knots. Different limits on KAR apply for knots in the margin (outer quarter of the wide face) and for the centre (central half of the wide face).Machine stress-grading•Machine stress-grading uses a machine to bend each piece of timber (generally about its minor axis). The machine measures the stiffness of the piece and uses a loose correlation between stiffness and strength to assign a stress grade. A sorted group with a small range of E (stiffness) can produce a larger range of strength. The E value is also used to infer all of the other structural properties, including tension, compression and shear strength.•The machine stress grading process requires that quality checks be built into the operation of the machine so that its grading is uniform over time, and that the correlation between grading parameter and the properties of the product remains valid. These checks are on the performance of the machine, which can be found by running calibration sticks of known properties through the machine, and on the performance of the output, by periodically performing destructive tests on samples of the graded timber.Machine proof-grading•Proof-grading commences with the preliminary sorting of the ungraded timber being produced by the mill into sub-groups, each of which will become a stress grade classification. An accepted and well-documented grading method is used for the preliminary sort. When machine proof-grading procedures are used, after the preliminary sorting, every piece of timber in each sorted group is tested by the application of a predetermined bending load, known as the proof load.•Each target stress grade has its own proof stress, which is used with the cross-sectional dimensions to give the proof load. As the proof load is applied, each piece of timber is loaded on edge and continuously stressed in bending to the proof stress. The proof stress is specified in and is significantly higher than the stress at serviceability loads for the particular grade being assigned. Pieces that survive the proof load without failure, excessive deformation or other signs of damage are deemed to qualify for the stress grade that corresponds to the applied proof stressIt differs from machine stress grading in the following ways:Machine stress grading-Timber loaded about minor axis (on flat)-Small loads applied - timber is loaded at much less than design strength-Intention is to find poor pieces by measuring stiffness-HighProof gradingTimber loaded about major axis (on edge) High load applied - timber is loaded at loads near the design strengthIntention is to find poor pieces by breaking themLow speed process - timber may take 15 to 20 seconds to pass through the machine
Why is it important to know where the Timber you bought grew?
The place that a piece of timber was grown can affect its strength and durability. For example, Western Red cedar grown in places with warmer winters grows quickly, so it can have less durability than that from areas with cold winters. Also, there are different forest or plantation management procedures in different locations, and this and transport methods and distances affect the sustainability of the timber. If this is a concern you will need to research the location, the transport used and the practices in use there. There are sustainability certifications for timber that reduce the research you need to do. Check with government agencies as to which certifications are reliable.
