SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D198
1. Scope
1.1 These test methods cover the evaluation of lumber in structural size by various testing procedures.
1.2 The test methods appear in the following order:
| Sections | |
| Flexure | 4-11 |
| Compression (Short Column) | 13-20 |
| Compression (Long Member) | 21-28 |
| Tension | 29-36 |
| Torsion | 37-44 |
| Shear Modulus | 45-52 |
1.3 Notations and symbols relating to the various testing procedures are given in Appendix X1.
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
