ABSTRACT
Seven types of particleboard, sold in RS, were tested in static bending. From each type, five panels were taken randomly and three pieces were cut from each panel, according to the ASTM D1037-93 (1995) standards. The results indicate that the panels are in accordance with the US commerce standards. For a few type of panels it was possible to establish mathematical models relating modulus of elasticity and rupture to board density.
