鈥� Formwork LVL Range allowed: 520鈥�0 kg/m鲁
2.FORMWORK LVL聽 Moisture content at factory dispatch
鈥� Formwork LVL 8 %鈥� % (AS/NZS 4357 & EN 14279)
鈥� Formwork LVL Surface-painted red edge keeps MC drift < 2 % during a 3-month formwork cycle
3. FORMWORK LVL Dimensional stock sizes (most common)
鈥� Formwork LVL 95 脳 47 mm, 150 脳 77 mm, 170 脳 36 mm, 200 脳 36 mm, 240 脳 45 mm
鈥� Formwork LVL Lengths 2.4 m鈥�0 m in 0.6 m increments; specials to 12 m on request
鈥� Formwork LVL Thickness / width tolerance: 卤1 mm (sanded) or 卤2 mm (unsanded)
4. FORMWORK LVL Glue & durability
鈥� Formwork LVL Phenolic WBP A-bond, EN 314-2 / AS 2754.1
鈥ormwork LVL聽 Optional H2 (LOSP) or H3 (ACQ) treatment; red edge paint gives extra moisture & UV shield
5.FORMWORK LVL聽 Mechanical grades typically supplied for formwork
鈥ormwork LVL聽 F11-E11 (E 鈮� 11 GPa, fb 鈮� 48 MPa)
鈥� Formwork LVL F14-E12.5 (E 鈮� 12.5 GPa, fb 鈮� 55 MPa)
鈥� Formwork LVL F17-E14 (E 鈮� 14 GPa, fb 鈮� 63 MPa)
Safety factor for repeated reuse: 0.9 (duration-of-load k3 = 0.65)
6. FORMWORK LVL Re-use & cycle life
鈥ormwork LVL 10鈥� pours when used as edge-board with 25 kN/m虏 concrete pressure; 30+ cycles achievable as joist/bearer at 鈮� 6 kN/m虏 provided striking & storage follow supplier guidelines
7. FORMWORK LVL Straightness & machining
鈥� Formwork LVL Bow 鈮� 1.5 mm/m; twist 鈮� 2 mm/m
鈥� Formwork LVL Arrised edges 2 脳 2 mm to reduce chipping during striking
鈥� Formwork LVL Each piece hot-branded with grade, mill ID, month/year for traceability
8.FORMWORK LVL聽 Packaging / logistics
鈥� Formwork LVL 20鈥� GP: 鈮� 22 m鲁 (8 pallet packs)
鈥ormwork LVL聽 40鈥� HQ: 鈮� 45 m鲁 (16鈥� packs)
鈥� Formwork LVL Weight per lin-m (170 脳 36 mm): 鈮� 3.6 kg
9.FORMWORK LVL聽 Storage on site
鈥� Formwork LVL Stack on level bearers 鈮� 1.8 m centres, clear of ground; cover top only to allow ventilation; cut ends re-seal within 4 h to maintain MC and prevent swelling
10.FORMWORK LVL聽 Standards compliance
鈥� Formwork LVL AS/NZS 4357 (structural LVL)
鈥ormwork LVL聽 BSI Benchmark or Engineered Wood Products of Australia (EWPAA) third-party audit; CE optiona
