1. LVL AS A CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL 1.9 TOLERANCES The tolerances of LVL members are defined in FprEN 14374:2018 and depend on the member sizes. The tolerance values are shown in Table 1.9 and the dimension definitions in Figure 1.61. Figure 1.60. Straight and accurate LVL-P beams. Table 1.9. Maximum deviations from nominal sizes and nominal angles for LVL, unsanded and not pressure treatment (FprEN 14374:2018). Figure 1.61. Dimensions of LVL. b = width (H=height), l = length, t = thickness. Arrow shows the grain direction of the surface veneer.
