Expert Commentary
Specifically addresses the Specific Gravity and Volumetric Shrinkage of timber specimens. This involves measuring the volume of the wood at various moisture levels (Green vs. Oven-Dry). MTO provides automated Displacement Tanks (using the Archimedes principle) that interface with our scales to provide a direct read-out of volume changes. For engineers, this data is vital for predicting the Check (cracking) and warping behavior of timber in structural applications.
