Pitch Pine: The Traditional Strength in Construction and Woodworking
\nPitch Pine is one of the most recognizable and durable species of pine, known for its high resin content, which provides natural protection and a distinct aesthetic. It is the classic choice for constructions requiring structural power as well as for woodworking projects that highlight the natural beauty of wood.
\nTechnical Characteristics & Mechanical Strengths
\nPitch Pine offers an excellent combination of weight and strength, making it reliable for heavy-duty constructions:
\nAverage Weight: 545 kg\/m\u00b3
\nBending Strength: 75 MPa
\nCrushing Strength: 41 MPa
\nStability & Shrinkage: It possesses a volumetric shrinkage of 10.9% and a T\/R index of 1.8 (Radial shrinkage: 4.0%), offering very good dimensional stability.<\/p>\n
Uses & Applications
\nThe durability of Pitch Pine makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, from construction to packaging:
\nConstruction: A premier choice for roof frames and beams, where structural integrity is of primary importance.
\nFrames & Doors: Widely used in windows and doors due to its good performance under weather conditions.
\nFlooring: Creates floors with a unique character, prominent grain, and great durability over time.
\nIndustrial Use: Ideal for the construction of high-quality crates and transport pallets that require increased strength.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":21800,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[148],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-21799","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-amerikhs","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"product-type-simple"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stefanidiswood.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/21799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stefanidiswood.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stefanidiswood.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stefanidiswood.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stefanidiswood.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stefanidiswood.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=21799"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stefanidiswood.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=21799"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stefanidiswood.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=21799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
