Wood moisture content is defined, and a wood moisture meter can be used in a variety of applications.
my country defines the moisture content of wood as the percentage of the weight of moisture contained in the wood and the weight of the wood after drying.
The moisture content can be calculated based on the weight of the dry wood, and the calculated value is called the moisture content, and is referred to as the moisture content (W, %). Calculation formula:
W=(Gs-Ggo)/Ggo×100%,
W1=(Gs-Ggo)/Gs×100%
Among them: W——Wood moisture content; W1——Wood relative moisture content
Gs—wet wood weight;
Ggo——Gauze dry weight.
National standard: moisture content is 3.0 -10.0%.()
moisture content of wood
The water in standing trees is not only the substance required for tree growth, but also the carrier for trees to transport various substances.
Likewise, the moisture in wood affects both the storage of wood and the utilization of wood for processing.
Different species of wood have different moisture content. The change of wood moisture content affects the strength of wood within a certain range,
Rigidity, hardness, wear resistance, thermal conductivity, permeability, calorific value, volume stability, etc.
There are two ways to express the moisture content of wood.
