EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 1075 standard. This standard specifies test methods for determining the strength capacity and stiffness of connections made with punched metal plate fasteners in load-bearing wooden structures used to join two or more pieces of timber of the same thickness in the same plane.
The properties measured are the load-slip properties and maximum load, the capacity of the fastener at various angles, and compression, due to the lateral resistance of the embedded protrusions at various angles between the direction of the applied force and the axis of the fastener and the direction of the timber grain.
For wood products, a number of static and dynamic test methods are applied to determine their suitability for a particular application. In general, these test methods include simple tension, compression and bending tests. For example, in tensile tests, the wood material is placed on a test machine and tension is applied to the ends. In the compression tests of wooden products, the products are pushed towards each other at both ends. In bending tests, the load is applied to the midpoint of the sample.
Processed wood materials are materials that have different properties than the properties of the wood in which they are made. For processed wood materials such as plywood or chipboard, many different processes are applied depending on the desired properties. With these processes, wood products with higher strength and flexibility than natural wood are obtained. Therefore, different methods are applied in the tests of these products.
