A vertical line in the margin shows where the text has been technically modified by amendment No. 5. SANS 1099:2008 Edition 1.5 1 Preface This specification supplies informa

9、tion concerning the grades of the wood of both indigenous and exotic trees suitable for the manufacture of furniture. The main purpose in grading wood is to establish and maintain acceptable standards of evaluation irrespective of the source of the wood, so that a given grade will set a standard tha

10、t can be used as a basis on which to contract. The determination of the grade rests largely on visual examination, by which means an experienced grader can normally achieve sufficiently accurate results. In doubtful cases, however, careful verification by physical measuring and weighing may be neces

11、sary. The grading of timber, depending as it does on empirical assessment made at production tempo, is not looked upon as an exact science. Experience in South Africa has shown that a variation of about 5 % between the grading of two graders is reasonable, and this should be accepted as the degree o

12、f variation in timber grading. Hardness and strength are both related to density, and where these properties are important, timber of density exceeding 600 kg/m3(0,600 g/cm3) at a 12 % (m/m) moisture content should be used. Where hardness and strength are not essential (as in inside and decorative w

13、ork), wood of a density as low as 450 kg/m3may be used to advantage. The grades set out in this specification are based on dry wood, i.e. wood of which the moisture content does not exceed 12 % in dry regions and 15 % in high-moisture regions. Before rough-sawn timber is converted into furniture, th

14、e manufacturer should ensure that the wood has been seasoned to a moisture content that will be in equilibrium with the surroundings in which the manufactured article is to be used. It will be in the interests of a furniture manufacturer to acquire the necessary instruments to measure moisture conte

15、nt. To prevent warping of furniture after manufacture, care should be taken during the seasoning process to prevent the development of seasoning stresses and a high moisture gradient in the seasoned timber. The sapwood of most hardwood timbers is subject to attack by the larvae of various species of

16、 beetle during the period when the timber is being air-seasoned after sawing, and also during storage; both the sapwood of maculata (Eucalyptus maculata) and that of kiaat (Pterocarpus angolensis) are for instance particularly liable to attack. To protect the sapwood of hardwoods during air-seasonin

17、g and subsequent storage, the freshly sawn boards should be immersed in (or thoroughly sprayed with) a suitable insecticide. Timber treated in this way should be block-stacked for 48 h before being open-stacked in the seasoning stacks. This treatment serves only to arrest attack up to the time of ma

18、nufacture and cannot be regarded as a permanent preservative treatment. However, if the wood is free from all stages of beetle infestation at the time of manufacture, it is unlikely that it will be infested later. This specification applies to the condition of the wood at the time of dispatch, and d

19、oes not cover deterioration brought about by unfavourable conditions during transportation and storage.
