Dimensions mean nominal sizes with the moisture content of the sawn timber at 20%. The most common lengths vary between 2.7 m and 5.4 m in steps of 300 mm. Other lengths and modules must be agreed separately. Thickness and width dimensions mean the nominal sizes of the timber at a moisture content of 20%. …

Sawn timber is usually artificially dried at least to a level acceptable for shipping. In that case, at least 97% of the pieces in a batch of sawn timber has a moisture content of no more than 24%. Moisture content requirements that deviate from this must be specially mentioned in the contract/order confirmation. By agreement, …

The maximum permitted dimensional deviations from nominal sizes for sawn timber are shown in the following tables:

Most sawn timber is sorted using modern, highly developed, mechanical strength sorting methods, such as computer-vision measurement, measurement of specific frequency, X-ray measurement and ultrasound measurement. The traditional mechanical strength sorting method is to bend the pieces of sawn timber, based on which the modulus of elasticity can be established and thereby the strength class &helli
