Is Microlam and LVL the same?

Is Microlam and LVL the same?

Microllam / LVL Beams Microllam is a brand name for Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) Beams manufactured by Weyerhaeuser. LVL beams are one of several different types of engineered lumber products on the market today.

Can you cut LVL to size?

LVL is made in billets up to 48 inches wide that are ripped to commercially available standard depths. It’s okay to rip LVL beams to a smaller depth, too, though you’ll have to recalculate the beam capacity.

Should LVL beams be glued together?

LVL beams are long pieces of lumber that are usually used for grand windows and wide doorways. With wooden LVL beams, you must use extremely adhesive glue; not using strong enough glue will cause your wooden structures to collapse.

What are LVLS made from?

Laminated Veneer Lumber is a high-strength engineered wood product made from veneers bonded together under heat and pressure. It is used for permanent structural applications including beams and rafters. Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) is a high-strength engineered wood product used primarily for structural applications.

Can I use an LVL vertically?

Different types of LVL can be used either horizontally or vertically. This use is not interchangeable. LVL is specified for its type of use such as for beams (horizontal) or columns (vertical). LVL has excellent size-to-strength and weight-to-strength ratios.

Can you paint an LVL?

NelsonPine LVL billets in standard thicknesses come with an industrial type finish that can have normal timber paint and stain systems satisfactorily applied to them. Enhancement of the visual appearance and coating adhesion can be achieved by relatively coarse sanding the surface prior to the first coat.

Is it OK to notch an LVL?

Most LVL products are used as beams and headers loaded parallel to the gluelines. Any drilling, tapering or notching that takes place in LVL reduces the net section and may introduce stress concentrations at the notching or drilling location.

Can I screw into an LVL beam?

Whenever possible, avoid drilling vertical holes through LVL beams unless the beam width is at least 3-1/2 inches. Prior to drilling any vertical holes, an engineer or architect qualified in wood design should be consulted.

How far can you span a LVL beam?

Due to its strength, an LVL beam can span up to 60 feet and is much stronger than traditional lumber. Generally, you can find LVL beams in 4-foot increments starting at 24 feet and going up to 44 feet long, with special orders up to 60 feet. LVL beam thickness is usually between 1 ¾ and 7 inches.

What is the Biolog equipment?

The Biolog equipment is used for the identification of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria with importance in the generation of diseases of agricultural crops, allowing us to respond more effectively and efficiently to new requirements and obtaining more information related to the microorganisms under study with high quality results.

What is your experience with Biolog omnilog microbacteria identification?

We have used Biolog Omnilog® Microbacteria identification for couple months. To my amazement, it dramatically reduced our loading by analyzing up to 50 bacterial samples at the same time. It can automatically analyze the plates at specified period and record the raw data.

What is your experience with Biolog Omni log combo plus?

We’ve been using the Biolog Omni Log Combo Plus system for Microbial Identification and phenotype studies since April 2018. It is one of the most popular easiest instrument to use among Research students. Equipment has been very useful for Research work and have produced large amount of data by the assay.

How long have you used the MicroStation Biolog Gen III?

Hereby we want to state that we have used the Microstation Biolog Gen III in our microbiology laboratory for the development of projects and research during more than 5 years. It is one of the most important laboratories of the department in the area of microbiology and biotechnology.
