The purpose of this test is to design a compression shear device for easy and fast measurement of the bonded shear strength of wood-based materials.
Test Method: IS: 1734 (P-4) 1983, RA-2003
 

This test helps in determining the moisture content (MC) of solid wood, veneer, and other wood-base materials, including those that contain adhesives and chemical additives.
Test Method: IS: 1734 (P-1) 1983, RA-2003
 

Analyzing tree density can serve great ecological and scientific function. The tools used to accumulate this knowledge are generally uncomplicated and minimize any ensuing damage done to tree specimens.
Test Method: 1708 (P-2)1986, RA-2008
 

In bending, it is assumed that wood is linearly elastic for low values of stress, i.e., the stress and strain are proportional to each other and produce an elastic or straight-line plot on the typical stress-strain curve.
Test Method: IS: 1734 (P-11) 1983
 

The box compression test (bct) measures the compressive strength of boxes made of corrugated fiberboard as well as wooden boxes and crates. It provides a plot of deformation vs compressive force . Containers other than boxes can also be subjected to compression testing: drum, pail, etc.
Test Method:
 

This test helps in determining the effect of ambient environment, temperature and relative humidity, on the hygroscopic thickness swelling rate of wood fiberboard and wood fiber/polymer composites. A swelling model describing the thickness swelling process of composites exposed to water vapor conditions was developed, from which the parameter, KSR, can be used to quantify the swelling rate.
Test Method: IS: 2380 (P-17)1977, RA-203
 

The ability to hold screws in both face and edges is an important attribute of wood.
Test Method: IS: 2380 (P-14)1977, RA-2003, IS: 1708 (P-15)1986
 

This test helps in determining the quality of wood. The kind of wood that is used has a lot of bearing on how long your furniture will last. It can be made of hardwood, softwood, or engineered wood.
Test Method: IS: 4020 (P-4)1998
 

Flush Door Shutters means forming a continuous surface. As the name suggests, Flush door shutters ‘flushes’ or ‘blends’ with the wall & adds a look of continuity to the wall. Flush doors are the most economical choice for builders because of their durability, dimensional accuracy, as well as freedom from warps & de-lamination when subjected to atmospheric changes.
Test Method:  IS: 2202
 

This test helps in determining the resistance to steam, Dimension, Water absorption, Resistance to Crack ,Density, Swelling in water ,Adhesion of plies, Moisture, Resistance to stains, Resistance to water, Tensile strength, Screw withdrawal strength, Resistance to burn, Modulus of rupture, Tensile strength perpendicular to surface, Tensile strength perpendicular to surface after ageing, Abrasion resistance ,Dimension, Density & density variation, Strength, Swelling due to surface absorption.
Test Method: IS: 12823
 

MDF does not contain knots or rings, making it more uniform than natural woods during cutting and in service. Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product formed by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibers, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure. MDF is denser than plywood.
Test Method: IS: 12406 & IS: 3087
 

This test helps in determining the features like quality, design, weather resistant and durability.
Test Method: IS: 4020 / 14856
 

The plywood test helps in determining their usefulness and durability. They help in measuring the quantity of moisture in the wood.
Test Method: IS: 303 / 1989
