Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe need to classify wood species by evaluating the physical and mechanical properties of smallclear specimens has always existed. Because of the g

3、reat variety of species, variability of the material,continually changing conditions of supply, many factors affecting test results, and ease of comparingvariables, the need will undoubtedly continue to exist.In the preparation of these methods for testing small clear specimens, consideration was gi

4、ven bothto the desirability of adopting test methods that would yield results comparable to those alreadyavailable and to the possibility of embodying such improvements as experience has shown desirable.In view of the many thousands of tests made under a single comprehensive plan by the U.S. ForestS

5、ervice, the former Forest Products Laboratories of Canada (now Forintek Canada Corp.), FPInnovations), and other similar organizations, these test methods naturally conform closely to themethods used by those institutions. These test methods are the outgrowth of a study of bothAmericanand European e

6、xperience and methods. The general adoption of these test methods will tend towarda world-wide unification of results, permitting an interchange and correlation of data, and establishingthe basis for a cumulative body of fundamental information on the timber species of the world.Descriptions of some

7、 of the strength tests refer to primary methods and secondary methods. Primarymethods provide for specimens of 2 by 2-in. (50 by 50-mm) cross section. This size of specimen hasbeen extensively used for the evaluation of various mechanical and physical properties of differentspecies of wood, and a la

8、rge number of data based on this primary method have been obtained andpublished.The 2 by 2-in. (50 by 50-mm) size has the advantage in that it embraces a number of growth rings,is less influenced by earlywood and latewood differences than smaller size specimens, and is largeenough to represent a con

9、siderable portion of the sampled material. It is advisable to use primarymethod specimens wherever possible. There are circumstances, however, when it is difficult orimpossible to obtain clear specimens of 2 by 2-in. cross section having the required 30 in. (760 mm)length for static bending tests. W

10、ith the increasing incidence of smaller second growth trees, and thedesirability in certain situations to evaluate a material which is too small to provide a 2 by 2-in. crosssection, a secondary method which utilizes a 1 by 1-in. (25 by 25-mm) cross section has beenincluded. This cross section is es

11、tablished for compression parallel to grain and static bending tests,while the 2 by 2-in. cross section is retained for impact bending, compression perpendicular to grain,hardness, shear parallel to grain, cleavage, and tension perpendicular to grain. Toughness and tensionparallel to grain are speci

12、al tests using specimens of smaller cross section.The user is cautioned that test results between two different sizes of specimens are not necessarilydirectly comparable. Guidance on the effect of specimen size on a property being evaluated is beyondthe scope of these test methods and should be soug

13、ht elsewhere.Where the application, measurement, or recording of load and deflection can be accomplished usingelectronic equipment and computerized apparatus, such devices are encouraged, providing they do notlower the standard of accuracy and reliability available with basic mechanical equipment.1

Summary of Test Methods3.1 The mechanical tests are static bending, compression parallel to grain, impact bending toughness, compressionperpendicular to grain, hardness, shear parallel to grain (Note 1)

26、, cleavage, tension parallel to grain, tension-perpendicular-to-grain,and nail-withdrawal tests. These tests may be made on both green and air-dry material as specified in these test methods. Inaddition, test methods for evaluating such physical properties as specific gravity, shrinkage in volume, r

28、rain.4. Significance and Use4.1 These test methods cover tests on small clear specimens of wood that are made to provide the following:4.1.1 Data for comparing the mechanical properties of various species,2 For referencedASTM standards, visit theASTM website, www.astm.org, or contactASTM Customer Se

29、rvice at serviceastm.org. For Annual Book of ASTM Standardsvolume information, refer to the standards Document Summary page on the ASTM website.D143 1424.1.2 Data for the establishment of correct strength functions, which in conjunction with results of tests of timbers in structuralsizes (see Test M

30、ethods D198 and Test Methods D4761), afford a basis for establishing allowable stresses, and4.1.3 Data to determine the influence on the mechanical properties of such factors as density, locality of growth, position incross section, height of timber in the tree, change of properties with seasoning o

31、r treatment with chemicals, and change fromsapwood to heartwood.5. Photographs of Specimens5.1 Four of the static bending specimens from each species shall be selected for photographing, as follows: two average growth,one fast growth, and one slow growth. These specimens shall be photographed in cro

32、ss section and on the radial and tangentialsurfaces. Fig. 1 is a typical photograph of a cross section of 2 by 2-in. (50 by 50-mm) test specimens, and Fig. 2 is the tangentialsurface of such specimens.6. Control of Moisture Content and Temperature6.1 In recognition of the significant influence of te

33、mperature and moisture content on the strength of wood, it is highly desirablethat these factors be controlled to ensure comparable test results.6.2 Control of Moisture ContentSpecimens for the test in the air-dry condition shall be dried to approximately constant weightbefore test. Should any chang

34、es in moisture content occur during final preparation of specimens, the specimens shall bereconditioned to constant weight before test. Tests shall be carried out in such manner that large changes in moisture content willnot occur. To prevent such changes, it is desirable that the testing room and r

35、ooms for preparation of test specimens have somemeans of humidity control.6.3 Control of TemperatureTemperature and relative humidity together affect wood strength by fixing its equilibrium moisturecontent. The mechanical properties of wood are also affected by temperature alone. When tested, the sp

36、ecimens shall be at atemperature of 68 + 6F (20 + 3C). The temperature at the time of test shall in all instances be recorded as a specific part of thetest record.7. Record of Heartwood and Sapwood7.1 Proportion of SapwoodThe estimated proportion of sapwood present should be recorded for each test s

37、pecimen.8. Static Bending8.1 Size of SpecimensThe static bending tests shall be made on 2 by 2 by 30 in. (50 by 50 by 760 mm) primary methodspecimens or 1 by 1 by 16 in. (25 by 25 by 410 mm) secondary method specimens. The actual height and width at the center andthe length shall be measured (see 22

38、.2).FIG. 1 Cross Sections of Bending Specimens Showing Different Rates of Growth of Longleaf Pine (2 by 2-in. (50 by 50-mm) Speci-mens)D143 1438.2 Loading Span and SupportsUse center loading and a span length of 28 in. (710 mm) for the primary method and 14 in.(360 mm) for the secondary method. Thes

39、e spans were established in order to maintain a minimum span-to-depth ratio of 14. Bothsupporting knife edges shall be provided with bearing plates and rollers of such thickness that the distance from the point of supportto the central plane is not greater than the depth of the specimen (Fig. 3). Th

40、e knife edges shall be adjustable laterally to permitadjustment for slight twist in the specimen (Note 2).NOTE 2Details of laterally adjustable supports may be found in Fig. 1 of Test Methods D3043.8.3 Bearing BlockAbearing block of the form and size of that shown in Fig. 4 shall be used for applyin

41、g the load for primarymethod specimens. A block having a radius of 112 in. (38 mm) for a chord length of not less than 2 in. (50 mm) shall be used forsecondary method specimens.8.4 Placement of Growth RingsThe specimen shall be placed so that the load will be applied through the bearing block to the

42、tangential surface nearest the pith.8.5 Speed of TestingThe load shall be applied continuously throughout the test at a rate of motion of the movable crossheadof 0.10 in. (2.5 mm)/min (see 22.3), for primary method specimens, and at a rate of 0.05 in. (1.3 mm)/min for secondary methodspecimens.FIG.

45、on curves shall be recorded to or beyond and the test continued up to themaximum load for all static bending tests. The curves shall be continued to a 6 in. (150 mm) deflection, or until the specimen failsto support a load of 200 lbf (890 N) for primary method specimens, and to a 3 in. (76 mm) defle

46、ction, or until the specimen failsto support a load of 50 lbf (220 N) for secondary method specimens.If required for the purposes of the study, it shall be permittedto continue both loading and the load-deflection measurement beyond the maximum load.NOTE 3One situation where the user may choose to c

47、ontinue the test and the load-deflection measurements beyond the maximum load is if the totalenergy under the flexural load-deflection curve is a parameter of concern. In these instances for primary method specimens, it has been customary tocontinue the test and record the load-deflection curve beyo

48、nd the maximum load to a 6 in. (152 mm) deflection or until the specimen fails to support aload of 200 lbf (890 N). For secondary method specimens, it has been customary to continue loading to a 3 in. (76 mm) deflection, or until the specimenfails to support a load of 50 lbf (222 N).8.6.2 Deflection

49、s of the neutral plane at the center of the length shall be taken with respect to points in the neutral plane abovethe supports. Alternatively, deflection may be taken relative to the tension surface at midspan. However, take care to ensure thatvertical displacements which may occur at the reactions are accounted for.8.6.3 Within the proportional limit, deflection readings shall be taken to 0.001 in. (0.02 mm). with a yoke-mounted displacementmeasurement device capable of at least a Class B rating when evaluated in accordance with Practice E2309.After the propo
