Strength Properties

• Modulus of Elasticity (stiffness) = very low

• Bending strength (MOR) = low

• Max. crushing strength = medium

• Density (dry weight) = 31-37 lbs/cu. ft.

• Hardness (side grain) = very soft

• Bending strength (MOR) = medium

• Shrinkage, Tangential = large

• Shrinkage, Radial = large

• Shearing strength (parallel to grain) = very low

• Shearing strength (parallel to grain) = low 

• Density (dry weight) = 46-52 lbs/cu. ft; 38-45 lbs/cu. ft; 23-30 lbs/cu. ft. ​

• Compression strength (parallel to grain) = high 

• Bending strength (MOR) = high

Strength Properties:

• Bending strength (MOR) = low - medium

• Max. crushing strength = very low - low - medium

• Modulus of Elasticity (stiffness) = very low - low - medium

• Density (dry weight) = 31-37 lbs/cu. ft. - 23-30 lbs/cu. ft. - 38-45 lbs/cu. ft.

• Shearing strength (parallel to grain) = very low - low - medium

• Hardness (side grain) = very soft - soft - medium

• Shrinkage, Radial = very small - small - moderate - fairly large

• Shrinkage, Tangential = very small - small - moderate - large

• Toughness (total work) = very low - low

• Density (dry weight) = Bending strength (MOR) = very low

• Toughness-Hammer drop (Impact Strength) = very low

• Crushing strength = medium
