Brief description of the technology solution and the added value it provides <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Simple, intuitive, reliable and non-destructive device for testing the wood density, which is use in construction developed by the Research Group Building with Wood.<\/span> <\/p>\n

The developed solution is coupled to a commercial drill and it is lightweight and sturdy. It is improved the estimation of wood density use in construction over current methods over 20% obtaining correlation coefficients above 0.9. Simple starting and test methodology. Moreover, allows discover pathologies of biotic origin.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Description of the technological base<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"The device fits in the field of wood technology, specifically in inspection elements and wooden structures by non or semi- destructive methods.<\/span><\/p>\n

Woodex is coupled to a commercial drill and extract a given volume of wood<\/span><\/p>\n

This allows us to estimate the density of the wood piece tested by the ratio between its mass and volume of the hollow generated, and correlate with other physical and \/ or mechanical properties. Thus, the system relates the wood density of the extracted piece to the overall element.<\/span><\/p>\n

This method improves the estimation of wood density obtaining correlation coefficients greater than 0.9 when the most current methods offer 0.6.<\/span><\/p>\n
