Study on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Ormosia xylocarpa Wood from Wuyishan City of Fujian Province

The physical and mechanical properties of Ormosia xylocarpa wood from Wuyishan city of Fujian province were determined and analyzed in this paper.The results showed that Ormosia xylocarpa wood from Wuyishan city of Fujian province was middle with the density of 0.627g/cm3,which was bigger than that from Yong'an city of Fujian province.Shrinkage of Ormosia xylocarpa wood from Wuyishan city of Fujian province belong to middle level,which volume shrinkage coefficient was 0.486,tangential shrinkage to radial shrinkage was 1.89.Both tangential shrinkage to radial shrinkage and volume shrinkage coefficient of Ormosia xylocarpa wood from Wuyishan city of Fujian province were less than that from Yong'an city of Fujian province.Compression strength parallel to grain was 51.93Mpa,static bending was 99.64Mpa of Ormosia xylocarpa wood from Wuyishan city of Fujian province.Comprehensive strength of Ormosia xylocarpa wood from Wuyishan city of Fujian province belong to middle level,which was biggger than that from Yong'an city of Fujian province.This research has solved a basic problem about the silvicuture and utilization of Ormosia xylocarpa.
