ASTM D3501 Test for Wood-Based Structural Panels in Compression

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D3501 testing. This standard covers the determination of the compression properties of wood-based structural panels.

ASTM D3501 Test for Wood-Based Structural Panels in Compression

Wood-based structural panels used include plywood, waferboard, oriented particleboard and veneer, and composites made of wood-based layers.

Method A, Compression Test for Small Samples This method can be applied to small samples that are uniform in their elastic and strength properties. Two types of compression tests are used: one to evaluate both elastic and compressive strength properties, and the second to evaluate only maximum compressive strength.

Method B, Compression Test for Large Samples This method uses large samples and responds well to fabrication variables and growth characteristics that affect the compression properties of structural panels.

This method is designed for:

  • Comparative tests of structural panels,
  • Evaluation of the effects of moisture content on the strength properties of structural panels,
  • Determination of the strength properties of structural panels and
  • Evaluation of the effects of raw material and manufacturing variables on the compression properties of structural panels.
