RTD stands for Resistance Temperature Detectors, a method toe ensure the
plywood/adhesive is uniformly heated during bonding of the plies.
"The use of the in-process RTD sensors significantly reduced the delamination
caused by insufficient heating of the plywood during the press cycle. If the
plywood sheet is found to have delaminated areas, it is sold as a lower grade
plywood at a reduced market value. Each press handles 30 sheets of plywood per
two-minute press cycle, so the reduction in delamination has significant
economic impact."
