ASTM D1037 – Test Methods for Wood-Base Fiber & Particle Panel Materials

← Back to all standards

ASTM D1037 is the collection of small-specimen test methods for the mechanical and physical properties of mat-formed wood-based panels. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ASTM D1037 Covers

It covers particleboard, MDF, hardboard, and similar panels, including bending, tensile, internal bond, and related property tests.

How the Test Is Run

Panel specimens are loaded in bending, tension, or internal-bond (perpendicular tension) as applicable, and the strength and related properties are recorded.

Why It Matters

Panel properties govern the performance of engineered wood products; flexure and tensile fixtures suited to board specimens are essential.
