PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
These properties can vary significantly depending on the origin and growing conditions of the wood.
-
- Density *: 0.74
- Monnin hardness *: 7.0
- Coef. Volume shrinkage: 0.50%
- Stability in service: moderately stable to poorly stable
- Total radial shrinkage: 3.2%
- Fiber saturation point: 20%
- Total tangential shrinkage: 5.9%
(*: 12% humidity)
NATURAL DURABILITY AND IMPREGNABILITY OF WOOD
- Mushrooms: cl 1-2 very durable to durable
- Dry wood insects: durable; distinct sapwood (risk limited to sapwood)
- Termites: class D – durable
- Impregnability: 4 – not impregnable
- Biological risk class: 4 – in contact with the ground, or fresh water
SAWING AND MACHINING
- Blunting effect: quite significant
- Teeth for sawing: stellated prosthesis
- Machining tools: tungsten carbide
Risk of burns during machining. Slight tendency to tear off during planing (interlocked grain). Irritating dusts reported.
ASSEMBLY
- Nailing – Screwing: good hold, front pants necessary
