ASTM D143 – Standard Test Methods for Small Clear Specimens of Timber
ASTM D143 – This test method covers the determination of various strength and related properties of wood by testing small clear specimens.
This test method represents procedures for evaluating the different mechanical and physical properties, controlling factors such as specimen size, moisture content,
temperature, and rate of loading.
Sampling and collection of material is discussed in Practice D5536.
Sample data, computation sheets, and cards have been incorporated, which were of assistance to the investigator in systematizing records.
ASTM D143 – This standard contains test methods for determining the various strength and elastic properties of wood through 11 different
mechanical tests:
Static bending
Impact bending
Compression parallel to grain
Compression perpendicular to grain
Toughness
Hardness
Shear parallel to grain
Cleavage
Tension parallel to grain
Tension perpendicular to grain
Nail withdrawl
ASTM D143 tensile testing perpendicular to the wood grain test requirements which describes the size and shape of the grips used for tension testing wood
specimens perpendicular to the grain.
In the test, a timber specimen is cut into shape and placed into the fixture.
A tensile test is conducted and the resulting tensile strength and maximum load are analyzed.
*** The grips are made from precisely machined, high strength tool steel
Significance and Use
These test methods cover tests on small clear specimens of wood that are made to provide the following:
Data for comparing the mechanical properties of various species,
Data for the establishment of correct strength functions, which in conjunction with results of tests of timbers in structural sizes (see Test Methods D198 and
Test Methods D4761), afford a basis for establishing allowable stresses, and
Data to determine the influence on the mechanical properties of such factors as density, locality of growth, position in cross section, height of timber in the tree,
change of properties with seasoning or treatment with chemicals, and change from sapwood to heartwood.
