Abstract

X-ray technology is capable of non-destructively testing solid wood samples. The prepared wood briquette samples were identified by X-ray technology. The studies assessed the effect of biomass briquette structure by observing wood chip fractions under an X-ray. Study results show that X-ray technology is an effective tool for analyzing biomass wood-based materials, e.g., density, improving wood products quality and performance. The measurements are consistent with the true density, and chemical properties were measured from chosen material. In the article, a coefficient representing the picture density and true density of briquettes was proposed, and the comparison of both densities was based on the empirical measurements. Probably through an application of the conversion factor, the process of determining material densities could be simplified, cheaper, and quicker. Due to the conducted research, X-ray technology is an effective tool for improving wood products’ quality and performance. Combining X-ray technology with laboratory test results can provide quick and easy analysis. For example, the density comparison of shredded forest residues was defined. Based on the results, the mean value of the conversion factor was about 0.6. In addition, the observed results were compared with the doctoral research. Higher durability was found in briquettes with lower fractions of f 1 (31–68%) compared to the higher f 2 , f 3 , and f 4 (6–37%), which was approved in the spectrum picture.
