WET plywood and Osb testing 👍 #framing #carpentry #construction #homeimprovement

What happens here

The presenter introduces the project, which is to compare the strength of plywood versus OSB, specifically when wet. He states that the materials have been pre-soaked for 24 hours for the wet condition tests. The setup includes a wooden frame, a hydraulic jack, and a pressure gauge, along with samples of both materials.

Goal: Understand the purpose of the comparison and the testing setup.

Tools and materials

  • Hydraulic Jack — To apply controlled and measurable compressive force to the samples
  • Pressure Gauge — To measure the force applied by the hydraulic jack in PSI
  • Wooden Frame — To provide a stable structure for the hydraulic jack and samples
  • OSB Samples — Material to be tested for compressive strength (dry and wet)
  • Plywood Samples — Material to be tested for compressive strength (dry and wet)

What they say

Hide

Builders and carpenters, we got plywood and we got OSB wet for 24 hours. Let's put it to the test.
