This research aimed to generate new species and CCA preservative treatment (to H3 level) corrections for P. radiata (radiata pine) and P. elliottii (slash pine); determine the overall reliability, or uncertainty, of the new species and CCA corrections; and assess the effect of between board density variation on capacitance-type meter readings.
The treatment and species corrections developed in this project should be included in a revision of AS/NZS 1080.1 (1997). Provided that accuracy limits are given with the species corrections, capacitance-type meters such as the Wagner L612 can be included in this revised standard for appropriate situations. In the case of the capacitance-type meters, thickness corrections should also be included.
