STABILITAS DIMENSI BERDASARKAN SUHU PENGERINGAN DAN JENIS KAYU
Abstract: Variance in water
contains and weight of wood are influenced by several factors including the
drying temperature and the type of wood. This study was conducted to determine
the effect of drying temperature and the type of wood on the
dimensionstability. Design factorial in completely randomized design (CRD)
consisting of 2 factors which are the temperature drying of wood (500C, 700C,
900C, 1100C) and the type of wood (Lagerstroemia speciosa Pers and
Dracontomelon mangiferum BI). The results showed that the drying temperature
and the type of wood give significant effect and highly significan on the
dimensional stability of wood. All treatment drying temperature on the wood
Lagerstroemia speciosa Persshowed good dimensional stability values with the ratio of T / R is greater than 1, wherein the drying
temperature of 1100C showed the ratio of T / R from the bottom at 1,02.After
air dry, then the stability of the value dimensions is catagorized to in good
category with the lowest ratio of T / R from Lagerstroemia speciosa Pers wood
and Dracontomelon mangiferum BIwood arround temperature 1100C with a value of
1,11. Lagerstroemia speciosa Pers wood moisture content in the tangential area
with drying temperature 1100C the lowest, value is 3,5529 %. But in general all
treatment for drying temperature has shown the value of water content below 17
% which is at equilibrium moisture content between 12 % - 20%. The highest Wood
density values for Lagerstroemia speciosa Persis 0,6925
gr/cm3,while for Dracontomelon mangiferum BI timber the highest value is
0,7101 gr/cm3.
