The amount of water in a piece of wood is known as its moisture content Because this is expressed as a percentage of the dry weight of the piece not of the total weight it is possible to have moisture contents of well over 100 The moisture content of green wood varies greatly from one Continue reading Measuring the Moisture Content of Timber Moisture in timber CI/SfB i L3 Uniclass P5 N N333 One of the most important factors affecting the performance and properties of wood is its moisture content The amount of water present in wood can affect its weight strength workability susceptibility to biological attack and dimensional stability in a particular end use

Wood drying also seasoning lumber or wood seasoning reduces the moisture content of wood before its use When the drying is done in a kiln the product is known as kiln dried timber or lumber whereas air drying is the more traditional method There are two main reasons for drying wood Woodworking When wood is used as a construction material whether as a structural support in a building ©Timber Queensland Limited Technical Data Sheet 27 Measuring Moisture Content of Timber February Page 3 Types of meters A wide variety of meters are available All have two pins that are used to penetrate the timber but the pins may vary in length from approximately 6 mm up to 50 mm The longer pins are often insulated up to the pointed

Sep 03 32 Understanding Equilibrium Moisture Content it might take a little while for the material to reach its equilibrium moisture content EMC with the air—in other words for the wood to accommodate to the humidity level for the climate around the wood the wood may take on more moisture or it may dry out For example if wood at 10 MC is Useasoned timber is any timber with a moisture content >25 However for practical reasons most timber sold as unseasoned has a moisture content >15 rather than the more strict definition of unseasoned timber >25 Seasoned timber Seasoned timber is timber with a moisture content between 10 and 15

Boiling will decrease drying time an average of up to 50 For example a non boiled piece may take 6 months to air dry A boiled piece of the same timber will typically reach EMC equilibrium moisture content in three months or less EMC is defined as the point at which the moisture content in the timber is at equilibrium with the ambientMoisture content is one of the most commonly measured properties of food materials there are a number of practical problems associated with these techniques that make highly accurate determinations of moisture content difficult or that limit their use for certain applications There is an air inlet and outlet to carry the moisture lost

Of course the preceding moisture equation—though entirely factual—is mainly for illustrative purpos In most practical circumstances the easiest way to check the moisture content of a piece of wood is to simply use a moisture meter But it’s a good practice to understand what the moisture meter reading actually represents and to The company suggests applying it only to wood that has been dried to 18 percent moisture content MC or less My dilemma is that this is a one time project so I can t really build a kiln for it What are my options How long would it take to air dry sitting in my garage I am in Salt Lake City SLC Utah where it is already pretty dry
