Over several years of investigating timber deterioration digitally we have noticed a correlation between our digital micro-bore readings and dendrochronology. We have also started research into the use of ultrasound for timber fault checking.
Dendrochronology
Our digital equipment accurately measures the distance between individual section growth-rings. As seen by the graphics within our website ‘Micro-bore’ Surveys the digital graphing shows a definite link to the ring widths.
Research is on-going to use digital probe data to check known ‘decadal’ file data.
Ultrasound
During recent specialist surveys it was noted that ultrasound testing ‘may’ prove beneficial for in-situ timber testing.
