RISE offers a service for continuous measurement and monitoring system with wireless sensors of the climate in building structures. The system also measures moisture content and especially in Nordic spruce and pine with wood species and temperature correction. Evaluation is done, among other things…

Extractives are low molecular weight compounds that can be extracted from wood. The substances protect the tree against rot, pests and other attacks but can cause problems in industrial processes.

Wood rotting fungi are efficient degraders of wood-based materials in access to moisture. This service assesses the occurrence and distribution of microbial rot in various materials.

Rise performs sound insulation measurements as well as measurements and analysis of the sound transmission paths. The measurements are performed in a building or mock-up. The analysis provides information on where and which transmission part of the design needs to be improved to achieve better soun…

Reduce drying time and improve board shapes by measuring heartwood content and relative grain angle. We help you provide your customers with boards of better quality at a greater profit while saving energy and improving your productivity at the same time.

Simulate the outcome from changes in either the raw material or in the drying process itself with DrySim. You save time and money and minimize risks that come with full scale tests.

Calibration blocks, or moisture content blocks, are used to check moisture content meters.

RISE tests, certifies and perform manufacturing inspections of hatches of tongued and grooved boards.

RISE has extensive experience of sound insulation measurements of wall elements. Our test opening for walls is 2.59 m x 4.21 m, where the maximum dimensions for the test objects are 2.58 x 4.19m Our customers are in industry and within public sector and we are accredited for the current Swedish an…
