Performance. Strength. Appearance.
Preferred for its light colour in internal exposed situations Hyne Beam 18 creates a warmth and ambiance in these specific design applications. Also available as a structural grade, for applications where appearance is unimportant, Hyne Beam 18 is best suited for use as lintels or roof beams.
Builders use this Tasmanian Oak laminated beam with confidence for traditional building applications in both domestic dwellings and for commercial structures.
Architects, Designers and Engineers all understand the versatility of Hyne Beam 18 for use in similar applications as Hyne Beam 17, but where the hardwood properties of Hyne Beam 18 are most suited, particularly when a light coloured timber appearance is preferred.
Timber merchants, wall and roof truss manufacturers can source this made to order glulam beam as part of the Hyne ETP package through Hyne Wholesale.
Hyne Beam 18 is produced from renewable resources protecting our environment for future generations.

Grades:
Hynebeam 18 is available as A Appearance and C Structural Grade (STR) as defined in AS1328.1.
Select Grade specified as (SEL)
This beam is equivalent to appearance Grade A: AS 1328.1 – 1998. This grade is intended for use in applications where appearance of the member is important and clear or painted finishes are used. All surface voids are therefore filled or repaired. Unless otherwise specified, the surfaces are sanded to a minimum 60 grit finish.
Structural Grade specified as (STR)
This beam is equivalent to appearance grade C: AS 1328.1 – 1998. This grade is intended for use in applications where appearance is not important. All blemishes and voids are acceptable.
Product information:
Species specification:
The species used consists of visually graded Eucalyptus regnans, Eucalyptus delegatensis and Eucalyptus obliqua. This species mix is commonly known and traded as Tasmanian Oak.
Adhesive specification:
Resorcinol based glues (PRF – Phenol Resorcinol Formaldehyde) are used which are suitable for Service Class 3.
Moisture content:
Basic definition
Moisture content is the mass of moisture present in wood divided by the mass of the wood with no moisture in it, expressed as a percentage.
Moisture content range
The moisture content of Hynebeams has a range of between 8-15%.
The moisture content is uncorrected. Therefore moisture meters used to confirm the moisture content need be set to Douglas-fir and 20ºC which are the default setting for most moisture meters.
Treatment and Durability:
Treatment options:
Untreated – as species cannot be treated.
Natural durability, lyctid susceptibility of sapwood and termite resistance of heartwood:
| Species | Lyctid susceptibility of sapwood | Natural Durability class of heartwood | Termite Resistance of Heartwood | |
| In-ground contact | Outside above ground | |||
| Mountain (Eucalyptus regnans)and Alpine Ash (Eucalyptus delegatensis) | Not susceptible | 4 | 3 | Not Resistant |
| Messmate (Eucalyptus oblique) | Susceptible | 3 | 3 | Not Resistant |

Durability:
Hynebeam 18 is not durable for weather exposed applications (Service Class 3) and is not termite resistant.
Service Classes:
Service Class 1 – Service Class characterized by a moisture content in the materials corresponding to a temperature of 20ºC and relative humidity of the surrounding air only exceeding 65% for a few weeks per year.
Note: On Service Class 1 the average equilibrium moisture content in most glulam will not exceed 12%.
Service Class 2 – Service Class characterized by a moisture content in the materials corresponding to a temperature of 20ºC and relative humidity of the surrounding air only exceeding 85% for a few weeks per year.
Note: On Service Class 2 the average equilibrium moisture content in most glulam will not exceed 20%.
Service Class 3 – Service Class characterized by climatic conditions leading to higher moisture contents than Service Class 2, or where timber is directly exposed to sun and/or rain.
Note: Refer to additional technical Information sheet.

Design information:
Design properties:
Mechanical properties have been determined in limit state format form with a comprehensive testing and evaluation program carried out by Hyne. The modulus of rigidity is calculated by using G = E/15.
Density is a measured property and is determined as average seasoned density. However properties such as Bearing Strength Perpendicular to Grain, Bearing Strength Parallel to Grain, Shear Strength at Joints Details and Tension Strength Perpendicular to Grain are secondary properties which are depending on the strength group for the material and are determined in accordance with AS1720.1-2010. Further joint group are based on the material used and the groups are defined based on species and density as per AS1720.1-2010.

3 Unified Design Criteria.
The engineering design data presented may be used for structural design of domestic, commercial and industrial applications in conjunction with:
- AS1684.1 – 1999 Residential timber-framed construction Part 1 Design Criteria

Conductivity (k):
For moisture contents below 25%, approximate thermal conductivity k across the grain can be calculated with a linear equation of the form
K = Gx(B + CX) + A
where Gx is specific gravity based on ovendry mass and volume at moisture content x (%) and A, B, and C are constants.
For Gx > 0.3, temperatures around 24 ºC, and x < 25% MC, the values of the constants are as follows:
A = 0.01864, B = 0.1941, C = 0.004064 (K in W m-1 K-1)

Camber:
Hynebeams with “C”
designates a Hynebeam with a vertical camber radius of curvature of 600mm. “S” designates a straight Hynebeam.
Alignment and tolerance of both straight and cambered beams shall be no more than 1mm per metre of length of beam.
Hyne Beams are generally supplied as cambered marked to identify the top edge of the beam. Unless specifically requested (such as for large cantilevers), this brand should not be installed facing downwards.
The below table displays the amount of camber versus beam length.
