Abstract
Nondestructive methods for wood materials have been gaining importance for the last decades. Many commercial types of grading equipment are available. In this study, dynamic modulus of elasticity for red pine lumber has been measured using MTG Timber Grader. Dynamic modulus of elasticity values are compared with those which were obtained through three point bending tests. Modulus of elasticity values are classified according to TS EN 338. This classification plays an important role for sawn lumbers used in construction. The relationship between visually graded lumber and strength classes has been presented. Test results indicate that Turkish red pine lumbers can be graded according to modulus of elasticity values obtained using nondestructive method.
