For this purpose, air-dry density, modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), impact bending strength (IB) and screw holding capacity (SHC) (radial, tangential and axial direction) of apricot wood (Prunus armeniaca L.) were determined. According to the tests results; air-dry density was found as 0.788 g/cm3, IB as 2.32 kj/m2, MOR as 81.88 N/mm2 and MOE as 6569 N/mm2 and SCH (radial, tangential and axial direction) were determined as 47.34, 48.89 and 44.38 N/mm2 respectively. The obtained data were compared with the important industrial wood species and it has been concluded that this wood species has important technological properties.}, number={2}, publisher={Bartın Üniversitesi}
