Abstract

In this paper, the permeable measurement equipment was made by authors. The permeability of four species of common wood was measured. These species grow in northeastern area of China. The results indicated that 1) The experiment proved this equipment was reasonble in structure, good measurement precision and convenient use, and the wood permeability measurement was satisfied. 2) Wood permeability was the physical property of anisotropy in different grain directions. The permeability of four kinds of wood in axialis are greater than that in crosswise, the permeability ofPinus koraiensis andLarix dahurica in radial is greater than that in tangential, and the permeability ofPopulus davidiana Dude andBetula platyphylla Suk in tangential is greater than that in radial 3) According to the data of four kinds of wood permeability in different grains direction, the effect mechanism on wood permeability and different properties was discussed and analysed.
