Moisture Mapping Unlocking Critical Wood Properties

Understanding Wood Moisture Content

Moisture content is a crucial factor that significantly impacts the behavior and performance of wood. Understanding its intricacies is essential for effective moisture mapping.

What is the Moisture Content in Wood?

Wood moisture content represents the amount of water present within the wood structure, typically expressed as a percentage of weight. It can vary across the wood’s thickness and different sections of the tree.

Moisture mapping is a comprehensive strategy for measuring and analyzing wood moisture content variations. This information guides decision-making and ensures optimal wood performance in various applications.
