| description | An assessment of the physical and mechanical properties of Acacia mangium and Acacia auriculiformis from two
different provenances, Papua New Guinea and Queensland, Australia were carried out. Three healthy trees of
each species were sampled from Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. The main objective of the study was to
determine the effect of site, species or provenance on the properties of these woods. The tests were carried out in
accordance with British Standard BS 373 Standard. The results showed that the specific gravity and the
mechanical properties of the samples were affected by the species and provenances. The Indonesian samples
exhibited the best results in terms of both physical and mechanical properties compared to the Malaysian and
Thailand samples. A. auriculiformis recorded better performance than A. mangium. The results also revealed that
the Papua New Guinea provenance was superior for both species. |
