Study on Drying Characteristics of Cyclobalanopsis oerst Wood
Tai-An Chen · Forestry Science and Technology · 2011
100℃ drying test method and preliminary drying experiment of board for flooring were used to investigate drying characteristics of Cyclobalanopsis oerst wood.The results show that the initial check class was 4,the class of inner check was 2,the twist deformation class was 1~3 and drying rate class was 1~3.And the following drying test with preliminary dying schedule show that the drying cycle of 23 mm-thick C.oerst timber from moisture content of 52.3% to 12.9% was 492h,but the drying quality is below the requirements for making solid wood flooring due to the severe distortion and MC difference among and within boards.It was concluded that C.oerst belonged to refractory wood,and some advices on optimization of wood drying were also given in this paper.
