Determination of the Conversion Factor of Stacked Wood in Solid Content at Spruce Pulpwood and Firewood with the Length of Two and Three Meters

Abstract

The purpose of the present paper is the determination of the conversion factor of stacked wood in solid content and the conversion factor of solid content in stacked wood for spruce pulpwood and firewood with the length of two and three meters. The conversion factor of stacked wood in solid content has been determined by four methods described in writings in the field of cordwood. The values of the conversion factor of stacked wood in solid content depend on the following: length of wood pieces, form defects, wood pieces diameter, and arrangement of wood pieces. The results obtained reveal values of the conversion factors of stacked wood in solid content are generally lower than in the case of cordwood.
