summary Wood must always be allowed to acclimate or come into balance with the RH of the end-use location. Failure to do this will result in warping, cracking, and other problems after the construction of the wood product.
Failure to allow the wood to acclimate or come into balance with the RH at its end-use location could result in any number of moisture-related problems after the wood product is constructed. These include warping, cracking, buckling, diminished wood strength, corrosion of fasteners, and even fungal growth.
CRACK Cypress Warp 6.3 With Serial
We are shipping some acacia chopping board to colorado ( US) with moisture ranges from 10-14% while shipping from India but once product received all get cracked . So please help us to know what should be required moisture level in Acacia board in final product if we need to restrict wood movement at Colorado .
Plywood made from birch, cherry, and fir is widely employed as it has a more predictable and consistent thickness, surface quality and more is easily acquired than suitable planks. Plywood should be flat, clean, free of internal voids or knots that may affect impression and checks or cracks that may damage rollers. Plywood is typically graded with a lettering system: A being the high grade and D being low grade. Two letters are commonly listed, (sometimes a third added to indicate the intended exposure rating) with each letter indicating a face. For example, AA graded plywood would be plywood with two clear faces and few voids. AC plywood is the most common and would indicate a clear face and a face with some imperfections and filled knots or voids. Voids in the internal structure of the plywood block may affect impression. AA or higher grades of plywood will have the fewest voids.
Plywood, with its veneers of alternating grain direction is not quite as susceptible to these stresses, but should still be given some time to acclimate and can warp if stored on end, or if one side becomes dampened.
Any deviation from a true or plane surface, including bow, crook, cup, twist, or any combination thereof. Warp restrictions are based on the average form of warp as it occurs normally, and any variation from this average form, such as short kinks, shall be appraised according to its equivalent effect. Pieces containing two or more forms of warp shall be appraised according to the combined effect in determining the amount permissible. In grading rules, warp is classified as very light, light, medium, and heavy, and applied to each width and length as set forth in the various grades in accordance with the following provisions: Bow - a deviation flatwise from a straight line drawn from end to end of a piece. It is measured at the point of greatest distance from the straight line.
Crook - a deviation edgewise from a straight line drawn from end to end of a piece. It is measured at the point of greatest distance from the straight line.
Cup - a deviation in the face of a piece from a straight line drawn from edge to edge of a piece. It is measured at the point of greatest distance from the straight line.
Twist - a deviation flatwise, or a combination of flatwise and edgewise, in the form of a curl or spiral, and the amount is the distance an edge of a piece at one end is raised above a flat surface against which both edges at the opposite end are resting snugly.
