23、rance of sawn, processed and round timber;b) for serviceability of sawn and processed timber (identified in EN 1611-1 as the integrity of the timber).When the standard is applied the methodology of measurement used shall be stated.It is not applicable to structural timber for which strength grading
24、in accordance with EN 140811 is required.This standard applies to hardwood and softwood sawn timber, both square edged and unedged, to processed timber and to round timber.It does not apply to tropical timber.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referen

28、ber5.1 Knots5.1.1 GeneralFor the purposes of this standard, knots in sawn timber are classified according to their shape, size and position. Size is derived from the formulae given below and expressed in millimetres or as a percentage 5BS EN 13093:2018EN 1309-3:2018 (E)of a dimension of the surface
29、where the knot occurs. The following symbols are used in the formulae, with suffixes as required:d is the size, in millimetres;a is the width on the minor axis, in millimetres;b is the width on the major axis, in millimetres.Methodology for measurement of knots for the assessment of appearance is se
30、t out in 5.1.2. For assessment of serviceability, an alternative methodology for measurement of knots is given in Annex A.NOTE For strength grading of structural timber, refer to EN 140811.5.1.2 Appearance assessment methodology5.1.2.1 GeneralConsider each knot individually, except for cats paw.Meas
31、ure knots on a part or all the surface of the face(s) or the edge(s) as specified by the grading rule used. In the case of a knot with bark on its perimeter, the measurement of the knot shall include the bark.Figures 1 to 6 show the categories of knots that shall be measured. Each figure is accompan
32、ied by the corresponding formula that is generally the arithmetic average of the minor axis (a) and major axis (b) of the knot (d = (a + b)/2). Measure the width on each axis and derive the size from the formula.For each grade, the maximum size and number of knots per piece or per unit measure is st
33、ated in the grading standards / grading rules.A larger number of smaller knots may be permitted provided their cumulative measure does not exceed the maximum knot size multiplied by the number permitted within a grade, which can be expressed as:(1)wherenmaxis the maximum permitted number of knots;d1
34、, d2, .dnare the sizes of the individual knots, in millimetres;dmaxis the maximum permitted size of a knot, in millimetres.Where a grading standard permits the use of such cumulative measurement it will be stated in the grading standard.6 BS EN 13093:2018EN 1309-3:2018 (E)5.1.2.2 Round knotFigure 1

Where there are two or more areas of reaction wood, each shall be measured as before, and the respective dimensions totalled; orb) not measured, record its presence.5.4 Grain5.4.1 Slope of grainUse a scribe to determine slope o
41、f grain (see Figure 7.a).A scribe is shown in Figure 7.b. It consists of a cranked rod with a swivel handle at one end, a needle set to a slight trailing angle at the other.If the scribe is drawn along the piece of timber in the apparent direction of the grain, applying sufficient but not excessive
42、pressure, it will scribe a line that shows accurately the direction of grain.10 BS EN 13093:2018EN 1309-3:2018 (E)To check, it is recommended to draw several adjacent lines, with the direction of pull diverging slightly to the left and to the right; the scribe should still follow the correct directi
