MACHINE STRESS GRADING
(An alternative to visual grading of timber for strength)
By I. D. WHITESIDE
This book outlines the need for commercial machine stress grading in New Zealand.
Stress grading studies carried out by the writer in 1967 on radiata pine from Kaingaroa Forest showed that machine stress grading gave better grade recoveries over visual grading hence raised the value of a considerable proportion of the sawn output in framing sizes.
The writer firmly believes that the introduction of machine grading will held overcome the present lack of stress grades in New Zealand. This lack of availability is thought to have been a major cause of timber not being much more widely used as a structural material in competition with concrete and steel.
