Laboratory of Wood Panels
Main activities of the Laboratory for Wood Panels (LAP) of the Institute for Material Technologies include:
Determination of physical and mechanical features of the solid wood panels, plywood panels, chipped wood panels and branches wall panels:
- Panel dimensions (HRN EN 324-1:2003, HRN 324-2:2003)
- Water content (HRN EN 322:2003)
- Density (HRN EN 323:2008)
- Thickness Swelling (HRN EN 317:2000)
- Measure changes due to changes in the humidity (HRN EN 318:2008)
- Cyclic moisture resistance (HRN EN 321:2008)
- Moisture resistance - cooking test (HRN EN 1087-1:1999)
- Flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of flexural strength (HRN EN 310:1999)
- Surface strength (HRN EN 311:2008)
