GSO 1424:2002 Scope

1.1 These methods cover the determination of various strength and related properties of wood by testing small clear specimens. 1.2 These methods represent procedures for evaluating the different mechanical and physical properties, controlling factors such as specimen size, moisture content, temperature, and rate of loading. 1.3 These methods do not cover the evaluation of lumber in structural size. 1.4 Guidance on the effect of specimen size on a property being evaluated is beyond the scope of these methods and should be sought elsewhere. 1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.6 The procedures for the various tests appear in the following: 1.6.1 Photographs of specimens. 1.6.2 Control of moisture content and temperature. 1.6.3 Record of heartwood and sapwood. 1.6.4 Static bending. 1.6.5 Compression parallel to grain. 1.6.6 Impact bending. 1.6.7 Toughness. 1.6.8 Compression perpendicular to grain. 1.6.9 Hardness. 1.6.10 Shear parallel to grain. 1.6.11 Cleavage. 1.6.12 Tension parallel to grain. 1.6.13 Tension perpendicular to grain. 1.6.14 Nail withdrawal. 1.6.15 Specific gravity and shrinkage in volume. 1.6.16 Radial and tangential shrinkage. 1.6.17 Moisture determination. 1.6.18 Permissible variations. 1.6.19 Calibration.
