Resumen
THIS IS A SUMMARY OF A STUDY CARRIED OUT IN CHILE TO CERTIFY INDUSTRIAL KILN DRYING OF RADIATA PINE TO COMPLY WITH THE INTERNATIONAL PHYTOSANITARY STANDARD ISPM 15. THE DRYING TESTS WERE PERFORMED IN 100-M3 INDUSTRIAL KILNS LOCATED AT FOUR DIFFERENT SAWMILLS OF THE VIII REGION IN CHILE. THE OBJECTIVE WAS TO DEVELOP A STANDARD PROTOCOL TO CERTIFY INDUSTRIAL DRYING OF RADIATA PINE DEPENDING ON THE DRYING SCHEDULE AND WOOD THICKNESS. IN PART, THE RESULTS WERE USED TO DEVELOP A MULTIPLE REGRESSION EQUATION THAT PERMITS SAWMILLS TO SELECT THEIR DRYING SCHEDULES IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE LUMBER CAN BE OFFICIALLY STAMPED AS BOTH KILN-DRIED AND HEAT-TREATED FOR INTERNATIONAL TRADE.
