Dr. Y.H. Chui, University of New Brunswick, provided an overview of red pine exceptions for high temperature drying, noting that ANSI O5.1 does not currently allow red pine to be kiln-dried above 170°, and wants to determine if there is an effect on bending by drying at higher temperatures.He noted testing of red pine with similar characteristics - 2 samples of 60 - and both were treated with CCS; one group at 170° for 9 days and the other group at 220° for 4 days.He noted that there was practically no difference in strength between the two samples.

Mr. McCown reported that currently, red pine is limited to kiln drying up to 170°, and Dr. Chui provided information and data which indicates that there is virtually no strength loss above 170°.
