SIFAT FISIK DAN MEKANIK KAYU JELUTUNG (DYERA COSTULATA HOOK F.) YANG DIDENSIFIKASI BERDASARKAN SUHU DAN WAKTU KEMPA
Abstract: Demand for wood has
increased, while timber production decreased, in particular high quality wood.
Therefore necessary the technology to improve low quality wood (III-V) such as
Jelutung (Dyera Costulata Hook. F.) using with densification wood. There are
two treatments used in this research, namely temperature press (1600 C, 1700 C
and 1800 C) and pressing time (50 minutes, 60
minutes and 70 minutes). Sampleswere made of Jelutung wood with size30
cm (L) x 8 cm (W) x 4 cm (H).It steamed at 1200 C and hot pressed with a 30%
target thicknes.Physical(color and impression of rabbah, water content, density
and dimensional changes) and mechanical (MOE, MOR and MCS) properties testing refers to British
Standard Methods No.373 (1957). Results of research have shown that
densification can improve the physical and mechanical properties of Jelutung
wood. This research also pointed out that the treatment temperature press 1800
C and pressing time 70 minutes was the best treatment.
