Lumber, Plywood, and Millwork Laboratory Services

Lumber, Plywood and Millwork

Lumber, plywood and millwork is tested for safety and quality.  Different woods and wood products may require different tests, and different grades of lumber must live up to different standards.  In addition, different assemblies on different woods have specific requirements that must be met for safety purposes as well.  These products are used as building supplies and in the process of building fabrication so safety and quality are important to those who use them.

The process of testing lumber, plywood, or millwork analyzes different aspects of the product such as chemical composition, density, or stress grade.  There are many engineered wood products, or synthetic applications that are also analyzed for certain qualities.
