Impregnabilidad
Impregnated to moderatly impregnated.
Propiedades mecánicas
- Resistance to static flexion 850 kg/cm2.
- Elasticity module 90,000 kg/cm2.
- Resistance to compression 410 kg/cm2.
Mecanización
- Sawing process: easy, except in the presence of silica, a situation that causesmfast usury of saws and irritating dust.
- Drying process: medium-high speed. Little risk of deformation and crack formation.
- Planing process: no difficulties, except in case of the mentioned silica.
- Gluing process: no difficulties.
- Nailing and screwing process: no difficulties.
- Finish: no difficulties.
Propiedades físicas
&;8226; Apparent density at 12% humidity 560 kg/m3 semi-light wood.
&;8226; Dimensional stability
- Volumetric contraction coefficient 0.43 % stable wood.
- Relation between contractions 1.67 no tendency to deformity.
&;8226; Hardness (Chaláis-Meudon) 1.9 softwood.
Observaciones
- They are usually logs of small diameter so it is difficult to get planks of good widths.
