The two objectives of this project were to determine gas permeability of the mat as a function of density, and to characterize panel properties and temperature and gas pressure evolution in the mat during hot pressing as a function of press closing strategy, panel density, and mat moisture content. Panels of 560 X 460 X 16 mm were made in a 600- X 600-mm laboratory press. The manufacturing parameters were the following: press closing strategy of 145, 155, and 165% of the target panel thickness after 30 s of pressing; initial mat moisture content of 10, 12, and 14%; and panel density of 650, 725, and 800 kg m-3. Temperature and gas pressure were measured at the surface and core of the mat. The gas permeability of the panel was measured for p...
