Aircraft plywood is available in thicknesses of 1 ⁄ 8 inch (3 mm) (3-ply construction) and upwards; typically aircraft plywood uses veneers of 0.5 mm (approx 1/64 in) thickness although much thinner veneers such as 0.1 mm are also used in construction of some of the thinner panels.
Face Veneer thickness-- For any three-ply construction, which applies to 3 and 4 mm material, each face veneer shall be not thinner than 1/8 of the total thickness of veneers assembled dry. Since the dry thicknesses of the boards are 3.6 and 4.6 respectively, we can assume that, for these thicknesses only, the face veneers will be as follows:
Plywood and OSB typically have a density of 560–640 kg/m 3 (35–40 lb/cu ft). For example, 9.5 mm (3 ⁄ 8 in) plywood sheathing or OSB sheathing typically has a surface density of 4.9–5.9 kg/m 2 (1–1.2 lb/sq ft). [51] Many other engineered woods have densities much higher than OSB.
It is a plywood product, with a paper face overlaid on the plywood substrate with an exterior grade (usually) phenolic adhesive. MDO is designed to have a smooth, paint-receptive surface. One or both faces can be surfaced with paper, and is produced in 4-foot-by-8-foot sheets from 3 ⁄ 8 inches to over 3 inches in thickness.
Veneers are cut as thin as 0.64 mm (1 ⁄ 40 in). Depending on the cutting process used by the veneer manufacturer, very little wood is wasted by the saw blade thickness, known as the saw kerf. Some manufacturers use a very wide knife to slice off the thin veneer pieces. In this process, none of the wood is wasted.
In 1971 "Micro=Lam LVL" was introduced. "Micro=Lam LVL" consisted of laminated veneer lumber billets 4 feet (1.2 m) wide, 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (89 mm) thick, and 80 feet (24 m) long. Troutner proved the structural capabilities of his Micro=Lam product by building a house in Hagerman, Idaho, using beams made of Micro=Lam.
