Investigating the Physical Properties of Carpinus Species in Three Different Regions of Iran

Carpinus wood is produced throughout Eastern Asia, Iran, Europe and North America, and its fine characteristics have turned it into a common choice in industries such as furniture, construction, and paper manufacture. The main goal of this study is to analyze the physical properties (dry density, humid density, basic density, and shrinkage) of Carpinus species in three different regions in northern Iran. The samples for this study were prepared according to ISO 3129 standard. According to the results of this study, there was a significant difference in most of the physical properties, which is associated with their different densities.
