Kraft handsheet property prediction from the wood and fibre properties of radiata pine seedling and cloned trees

摘要

Kraft handsheet prediction models are developed for density, stretch, and tensile, T.E.A. and tear index. Predictor variables used are chip density, MFA, glucose content, and fibre length and coarseness. Models are developed and compared for a wide range of radiata pine wood-types; whole-tree, toplogs and slabwood, tree-ages (13-28 years), and from cloned- and seedling-tree origins.
