ASTM D1037 - Standard Test Methods for Evaluating Properties of Wood-Base Fiber and Particle Panel Materials 

These test methods cover small-specimen tests for wood-base fiber and particle panel materials that are made to provide:Data for comparing the mechanical and physical properties of various materials,

Data for determining the influence on the basic properties of such factors as raw material and processing variables, post-treatments of panels, and environmental influences, and

Data for manufacturing control, product research and development, and specification acceptance.

 



Test mainly include:
Static Bending 
Tension Parallel to Surface 
Tension Perpendicular to Surface 
Compression Parallel to Surface 
Fastener Holding Tests: 
Lateral Nail Resistance 
Nail Withdrawal 
Nail-Head Pull-Through 
Direct Screw Withdrawal 
Shear in the Plane of the Panel
Glue-Line Shear (Block Type)
Falling Ball Impact
Abrasion Resistance by the U.S. Navy Wear Tester 
Interlaminar Shear 
Edgewise Shear 
Compression-Shear
