Explanation:
Softwoods are cheaper and easier to work with than hardwoods. They are mainly used for- pulp for paper, durable home woodwork, and construction timber. Softwoods are generally most used by the construction industry and are also used to produce paper pulp, and card products. In many of these applications, there is a constant need for density and thickness monitoring, and gamma-ray sensors have shown good performance in this case. They are flexible, lighter in weight and less dense than most hardwoods. Softwoods are commonly used for interior mouldings, the manufacturing of windows, construction framing and generating sheet goods such as plywood and fibreboard.
Examples of softwood trees include:
- Pine
- Redwood
- Larch
- Fir
- Cedar
