Production of good quality casket requires: - correct answer. Solid wood planks
between 1" and 4" in thickness- 130- 150 board feet of lumber with some up to 300
board feet.
Board-foot unit of dimensional measurement - correct answer. Equal to a piece of
lumber 12" square and 1" thick
Laminates - correct answer. Made by uniting superimposed layers of different
materials. Typically the uppermost (visible) layer is of finer quality than the less
expensive base material.
Wood Veneer - correct answer. created by gluing a thin layer of wood of superior
value or excellent grain to an inferior wood.
Composition Board - correct answer. composed of particles of wood bonded together
with waterproof glue heat and pressure

attractive

and bronze.
, Alloy - correct answer. two or more metals fused together by melting

carbon; used in caskets it is low in carbon which keeps it soft 9mild) and malleable;
commercial steel contains carbon in and amount up to 1.7% as an essential alloying
constituent. Too much carbon makes the steel brittle.
Carbon steel caskets classified by: - correct answer. gauge- a measurement of
thickness of metals
Gauge - correct answer. roughly equated to the number of sheets of metal necessary
to equal approximately on inch of thickness. An inverse relationship exists between the
gauge number of the metal's thickness- the lower the gauge number the thicker the
steel.

gauge
19 gauge steel caskets - correct answer. Common a generation ago- infrequently
seen today. Approx. 16% thicker than 20 gauge steel, will last 29% longer when earth
buried.
18 gauge steel caskets - correct answer. Mid-line, variety of styles, typically lined with
higher quality textiles, higher standard of construction and attention to detail than 20
gauge. Approx. 33% thicker and lasts 58% longer than 20 ga.

corner designs, often lined with better quality velvets. Approx. 67% thicker and lasts
133% longer than 20 ga.

caskets but in burial vaults
Stainless Steel - correct answer. A metal alloy of steel, chromium, and sometimes
nickel; noted for its ability to resist rust. Not rust proof but rust resistant due to a
