What happens here

Place a dry plywood sample onto the wooden blocks under the hydraulic jack. Operate the hydraulic jack to gradually increase pressure on the dry plywood sample until it visibly breaks or collapses. Observe the pressure gauge at the exact moment of failure and note down the reading. In this demonstration, the dry plywood failed at approximately 2000 PSI.

Goal: Determine the compressive strength of dry plywood.

Tools and materials

  • Hydraulic Jack — Applying compressive force
  • Pressure Gauge — Measuring applied force
  • Wooden Blocks — Supporting the material sample under the jack
  • Dry Plywood Sample — The material being tested

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.
