MEASUREMENT OF ROUND TIMBER USING ELECTRONIC MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS |

- Abstract:
- In many countries logging is a very important sector of economy, a factor, which led to an extensive industrialization in the field of wood processing within the last three decades. In particular electronic measurement systems are used to optimise the commercial utilization of the resource “timber” and also for data acquisition in trade and commerce. Modern measuring assemblies for round timber enable not only to acquire the volume of round timber but also to record – self-acting - taper, sweep and ovality. More and more efforts are undertaken to use data - primarily attained for internal purposes only and for pricing, respectively. Therefore, the measurement methods presently used should be analyzed and several criteria for measurement of round timber in the future should be discussed and - last but not least - basic requirements on measurement systems as far as the valuation of features of wood is concerned should be identified.
