| Summary |
This book, which contains 8 chapters, provides information and instructions on the many methods by which roundwood and the products of roundwood are measured. This includes: log scales and rules used in the world today; roundwood weight-to-volume averages and physical properties for more than 400 timber species found worldwide; general information on log grading; log manufacturing quality, sampling and extrapolation procedures; and methods for determining log yard inventory and mill log usage volume. Finally, all facets of product recovery are presented with many detailed tables and graphs. The book will be invaluable for those in the forest and forest products industries, and will serve as a reference textbook for students of these disciplines |
