The width of the chisel shall exceed that of the specimen. NOTE A bricklayer’s bolster is a suitable implement. 5.2 Hammer or mallet, with a minimum mass of 1 kg. 5.3 Wood cutting equipment, such as a panel saw, band saw or circular saw. 5.4 Autoclave or similar vessel, designed to withstand safely a pressure of at least 500 kPa, equipped with a vacuum pump capable of drawing a vacuum of at least 65 kPa (500 mm of mercury) in the vessel and a pump or other device to provide a pressure of at least 500 kPa. 6 Preparation of test pieces A member to be tested shall be manufactured to a slightly longer length than specified to allow for a representative specimen or specimens to be removed at the end of the member. The specimen(s) shall be removed from the off-cut portion at the end of the member after trimming to length. Each specimen shall be marked to identify the member from which it is cut. The specimens shall include the full cross-section of the laminated timber to be tested, perpendicular to the grain of the wood and 50 mm long measured along the grain. Each bond line of the specimen shall be cut uniformly the full width of the specimen to a depth of 10 mm from one cross-cut face. For convenience, the specimen may be divided into smaller parts, provided the cuts are perpendicular to or well away from the bond lines and that all parts are tested (see Figure 1). 7 Procedure 7.1 General Apart from the conditoning, the dry and wet dleavages involve identical procedures. 7.2 Conditioning for wet cleavage The conditioning shall be undertaken as follows: a) The test specimens shall be placed in the autoclave and fully immersed in water between 10 °C and 27 °C. The specimens shall be restrained so that they remain fully immersed throughout the conditioning period. The specimens shall be supported in such a manner that all end grain surfaces are exposed to the water. b) A vacuum of at least 65 kPa shall be...
