Foreword

This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for standardization work Part 1: Structure and drafting rules for standardization documents" Drafting is required.

This document replaces LY/T 1788-2008 "Terms of Wood Properties". Compared with LY/T 1788-2008, except for structural adjustment and editing, in addition to the changes in performance, the main technical changes are as follows.

--- Changed the "wood anatomical characteristics" and "wood environmental characteristics" in the classification (see Chapter 3, Chapter 2 of the 2008 edition);

--- Changed the general concepts "strip", "log", "sawn timber", "plank", "square timber", "coniferous timber", "timber identification", "trunk", "quarter-cut timber" Definitions of "tangentially cut timber", "green timber" and "wood anisotropy" (see 4.1.2~4.1.7, 4.1.9, 4.1.13~4.1.17, 4.1.19, 2008 3.1.2~3.1.7, 3.1.9, 3.1.13~3.1.17, 3.1.19 of the 2017 edition);

--- Changed "vessel", "non-porous material", "tubular pore type", "pit", "cross-field pit", "axial parenchyma", "off-tubular axial parenchyma" Definitions of wood anatomical features such as "paravascular axial parenchyma", "wood rays", "wood fibers", "pore inclusions", and "wood cell wall" (see 4.2.33, 4.2.34, 4.2.37, 4.2.41, 4.2.46, 4.2.48~4.2.51, 4.2.53, 4.2.55, 4.2.57, 3.2.28 of the 2008 edition, 3.2.21, 3.2.23, 3.2.42, 3.2.47, 3.2.40, 3.2.41, 3.2.29, 3.2.30, 3.2.32, 3.2.34);

--- Added "wood macrostructure", "wood microstructure", "sapwood species", "heartwood species", "mature wood species", "pithelial spots", "false annual rings" "Growth ring boundary", "serrated thickening", "vessel cells", "polymer wood rays", "primary wall", "secondary wall", "tuberous layer", "microfibrils", "spirals "Thickened" wood anatomical characteristics terms and definitions (see 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.12, 4.2.14, 4.2.15, 4.2.18, 4.2.21, 4.2.23, 4.2.31, 4.2.32, 4.2.52, 4.2.58~4.2.61, 4.2.63);

--- Changed "cellulose crystalline area" and "cellulose non-crystalline area" to wood chemical properties, and changed the definition (see 4.5.6 and 4.5.7, 3.2.36 and 3.2.37 of the 2008 edition);
