Abstract: EBORA, JEREMIAH ZECHARIAH RAM A., FILART, SEAN ANGELO R., and LLAMADO, ADRIAN R. Physical and Mechanical Properties of Kaong (Arenga pinnata (Wurmb.) Merr.) Wood. A Research Study (General Science Curriculum). Science High School, College of Education, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, April 2011. Adviser: Dr. Lilibeth P. Novicio. A study entitled "Physical and Mechanical Properties of Kaong (Arenga pinnata (Wurmb.) Merr.) Wood" was conducted from September 2010 to February 2011. The study aimed to determine the physical and mechanical properties of kaong (Arenga pinnata) wood at different height level (butt, middle, top). Height level or part of wood served as treatments for the study. Three palms were used to serve as replications. The samples were collected from Barangay Bancod, Indang, Cavite. Green samples were prepared and tested at the Forest Products Research and Development Institute (FPRDI), College, Laguna. The tests were conducted to determine the following important strength and related properties of wood: moisture content, relative density, volumetric shrinkage, static bending, compression parallel to grain, compression perpendicular to grain, shear strength, hardness, and toughness. Data were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to determine whether the treatments have significant differences. Only one property, toughness, showed significant difference. Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) showed that only butt and top were significantly different. Based on the FPRDI strength classifications, kaong wood is generally classified under low class of wood with strength and related properties ranging from moderately low to very low and high volumetric shrinkage. Also, when compared to the physical and mechanical properties of coconut wood with reference to Asia-Pacific Forestry Sector Outlook Study: Focus on Coconut Wood (Arancon Jr., 1997), most of the properties of kaong wood are found close to those of low-density coconut wood while the side hardness of kaong wood is significantly close to that of medium density coconut wood.The butt part was found to have the highest toughness, followed by the middle, then the top. Kaong wood, in general, was observed to have considerable toughness.
