A characterisation program was carried out on 36 sheets each of 6 commercial structural particleboards, half being of 16 mm thickness and half of 19 mm thickness. Of each sheet supplied, half was used for coupon testes and half was used for whole board MOR and MOE measurements. Various statistical correlations were made of coupon and whole board properties. A stress grading system based upon the test results is proposed. it is similar in format to those used in Australian Standards for structural timbers and plywoods.
