Notes:
Summary Terms used in relation to swelling pressure are first defined. The present status of knowledge of the swelling pressure of wood under various conditions is then briefly discussed. Methods are outlined for the determination of swelling pressure with restraint in one direction only and their limitations discussed. The method developed by Tarkow and Turner for the determination of swelling pressure when restraint is present in two directions is also referred to and outlined. Conclusions are then drawn from the present status of knowledge of swelling pressure in wood and gaps in this knowledge are indicated.
