What are the opportunities for the MSR lumber industry to play a greater role in addressing climate change through sustainable forestry and the use of wood as a carbon-sequestering material?

What is MSR Lumber? Machine Stress-Rated Lumber. (MSR) is dimension lumber that has been evaluated by mechanical stress-rating equipment. The stress- rating ... erties high enough to be graded as MSR lumber. Therefore,. Southern pine lumber had higher MSR grade yields than. Japanese cedar, Taiwania and Douglas fir in ... MSR 1650 is also graded for appearance and has a #1 face. MSR 1650 is lumber graded for both fiber quality and appearance. It is stronger than #2&btr, and ... Product Overview. These 2 x 4 MSR 2100 boards are made of Spruce-Pine-Fir (SPF). Spruce-Pine-Fir (SPF) is ideal for its high fiber strength and workability, ... Saw logs were sawn into" nominal 2- by 4-inch and 2- by 6-inch lumber; lumber was kiln dried, surfaced, and graded by using visual and machine stress rated (MSR) ... MSR is lumber that has modulus of elasticity E evaluated by mechanical stress equipment, with each piece being marked to indicate the modulus of elasticity E. MSR/MEL lumber is the obvious choice. Its versatility makes it ideally suited for multiple applications within the same structure. Machine Grading. Framer Series is unique in that they use a machine-stress-rated (MSR) and machine-elevated lumber (MEL). These processes ... MSR lumber is also required to meet certain visual grading requirements. The grade mark can include “1W” or “2W” if visually graded to the wane restrictions for ... The grading is the bending pounds per square inch (psi) the lumber can withstand. Higher grades carry more stiffness. This lumber has been selected for strength ...
