Definition of wood moisture content:
In my country, the percentage of the weight of moisture in the wood to the weight of the wood after drying is defined as the moisture content of the wood.
The moisture content can be calculated based on the weight of the whole dry wood. The calculated value is called moisture content, and is abbreviated as moisture content (W, %). Calculation formula:
W=(Gs-Ggo)/Ggo×100%,
W1=(Gs-Ggo)/Gs×100%
Among them: W——moisture content of wood; W1——relative moisture content of wood
Gs - wet wood weight;
Ggo - absolute dry weight.
National standard: moisture content between 3.0 -10.0%.()
moisture content of wood
The moisture in the standing tree is not only the material for the growth of the tree, but also the carrier for the tree to transport various substances.
Likewise, moisture in wood affects both the storage of wood and the utilization of wood for processing.
The moisture content of different species of wood varies. The change of wood moisture content affects the strength,
Rigidity, hardness, wear resistance, thermal conductivity, permeability, calorific value, volume stability, etc.
There are two ways to express the moisture content of wood.
