Computer Program for Calculating Veneer Recovery Volume and Value

摘要

When a veneer recovery study is completed and veneer recovery volumes are tabulated, the researcher is presented with the time consuming and often tedious task of compiling the data into usable tables and figures. This computer program will accomplish this in less time and with greater accuracy than hand calculations. Veneer recovery studies are being made by the Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station's Timber Quality Research Project to Develop Better Log and Tree Grades and Current Recovery Values. Mill study techniques have been developed for obtaining accurate grade recovery information by individual peeler blocks and under mill production conditions. Computer programs have, likewise, been developed to calculate veneer recovery values and volumes. The manuscript is one of several that are available for use on recovery studies. (Author)
