| Janka-Hardness | What is the Janka Hardness?The Janka hardness is a method for determining the hardness of wood, indicating how resistant the material is to indentations. It measures the amount of force required to press a steel ball with a diameter of 11.28 mm halfway into the wood. The required force, measured in kilonewtons (kN), provides information on the wood's resistance to pressure marks. The higher the Janka value, the harder and more resistant the wood. |
