When it comes to testing wood and wood products, finding the right solution is crucial for ensuring product quality and performance. That's where our expertise and extensive range of wood test machine solutions come in.
This test helps in determining the quantity of water absorbed in a specified time through the surface of an overlaid wood-based panel. The test method measures the rate of water weight gain within a controlled surface area of the overlaid panel surface when exposed to standing water.
This test helps in understanding the impact of humidity, temperature and ambient environment on the hygroscopic thickness swelling rate of wood fibre and wood fibreboard. To measure the swelling rate, a model stating the thickness of composites exposed to water vapour conditions has been developed.
