ASTM-D5536 › Standard Practice for Sampling Forest Trees for Determination of Clear Wood Properties
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
Scope
1.1 This practice offers two alternative physical sampling procedures:cruciform sampling and random sampling. The choice of procedure will depend upon the intended use for the test results, the resources available for sampling and testing, and the availability of existing data on the mechanical properties and specific gravity of the species of interest.
1.2 A third procedure, double sampling, is included primarily by reference. This procedure applies the results of cruciform or random samples through correlation to improve or update property values.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
