ASTM D1037 Evaluating Properties of Wood-Base Fiber and Particle Panel Materials
ASTM D1037 is a standard test method used to determine the tensile and compressive properties of wood-based composite materials using a universal testing machine. This test method is commonly used to determine the strength and stiffness of these materials.
GET STARTED
Introduction to ASTM D1037
ASTM D1037 is a test method designed to determine the requirements for flat rolled non-oriented electrical steel fully processed types. The steel is produced as per the specified core loss values and is intended for use in magnetic devices primarily for commercial power frequency of 50 and 60 Hz. The results obtained through this method are especially used for quality control, reliability check, performance evaluation, and specification purposes.
ASTM D1037 test method is generally applicable to fully processed types to materials such as plywood, oriented strand board, particleboard, fiberboard, and other types of wood-based composites. The final values of the procedure are stated in standard units of SI.
ASTM D1037 Test Method
In test method ASTM D1037 the test specimen is placed in a testing machine, which applies a tensile or compressive load until the specimen fails. The maximum load sustained by the specimen and the corresponding deformation are recorded. This information is used to calculate various mechanical properties of the material such as tensile strength, compressive strength, and modulus of elasticity. The procedure involves following steps:
Conditioning and Mounting the Specimen
The test specimens are conditioned at a temperature of 21 ± 1°C (70 ± 2°F) and a relative humidity of 65 ± 5% until they reach equilibrium moisture content. The specimen is mounted in the testing machine according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer. The axis of the specimen is aligned with the centerline of the loading heads.
Load Application
A tensile or compressive load is applied to the specimen at a constant rate of displacement or stress until the specimen fails.
Recording and Calculating
The maximum load sustained by the specimen and the corresponding deformation are recorded. The recorded data is used to calculate the mechanical properties of the material.
ASTM D1037 Specimens
Specimen details
ASTM D1037 specimens are rectangular with a length of 200 mm (8 in) and a width of 50 mm (2 in).
Specimen dimensions
The acceptable specimen thickness for ASTM D1037 is measured at the center to the nearest 0.1 mm (0.004 in) and recorded as the nominal thickness. The length of the specimen is kept at least 3 times its thickness.
Specimen preparation
Specimens are injection molded or cut from molded or extruded sheets or plates.
ASTM D1037 Results
The results of the ASTM D1037 test provide information on the mechanical properties of the wood-based material being tested. The MOR is the maximum stress the material can withstand before failure, while the MOE is a measure of the stiffness of the material. These results can be used to compare the strength and stiffness of different wood-based materials.
Tests related to ASTM D1037
ASTM D1037 is often performed in conjunction with other tests such as ASTM D2395 for density measurement, ASTM D4761 for determining the mechanical properties of wood-based structural materials, and ASTM D790 for determining the flexural properties of plastics and insulating materials, and ASTM D4442 for moisture content determination. These tests provide additional information on the physical properties of the wood-based material being tested.
