WebCorky is a web adaptadion of a desktop tool present insIMfLOR(Faias, 2012) to project cork caliber samples of a Quercus suber L. stand. The application uses equations developed by Almeida et al. (2010).
WebCorky has a simple sample and multisample projection interface. The latter alows the classification of the samples evolution in time, in order to support a decision on when is the best time to debark the stand.
The classification uses the standard industry nomenclature for cork caliber:
Class Name | Nr Lines (1 line=2.256mm) | milimeters |
Refugo | <6 | <13.54 |
Delgadinha | >=6 and <10 | >=13.54 and <22.56 |
Delgada | >=10 and <12 | >=22.56 and <27.07 |
Meia Marca | >=12 and <14 | >=27.07 and <31.58 |
Marca | >=14 and <18 | >=31.58 and <40.61 |
Grossa | <=18 and <24 | >=40.61 and <54.14 |
Triangulo | >=24 | >=54.14 |
