The moisture content of wood is normally expressed as a percentage, and is calculated as : the difference between the weight of a sample of wet(green) wood and the weight of the same sample after oven drying(to remove all moisture), divided by the oven-dry weight, all multiplied by 100.

Record 4 2003-04-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Wood Drying
CONT

All lumber requires at least partial seasoning for most purposes; generally, moisture reduction to not more than 120 percent of the oven-dry or bone-dry weight of the wood is required before it can be considered suitable for use.

OBS

oven-dry : A wood dried to constant weight in a ventilated oven at a temperature above the boiling point of water, generally 103 [+ or-] 2C°.

OBS

bone-dry weight : According to the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, in its publication :"Tree Power. An Assessment of the Energy Potential of Forest Biomass in Canada", 1978, p. 35, oven-dry wood has a higher moisture content(8%) than bone-dry wood(0%).

Key term(s)
  • oven dry weight
  • bone dry weight

French

Domaine(s)
  • Séchage du bois
CONT

Par étuvage à 100 - 110 °C, l'eau contenue dans le bois s'échappe et la matière sèche, bois anhydre, reste en fin d'opération. Le pourcentage du poids d'eau évaporée par rapport au poids anhydre donne le taux (ou degré) d'humidité de l'échantillon.

Record 5 2001-12-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Xylology (The Study of Wood)
DEF

Density base on oven-dry weight and the volume when tested-commonly when the wood is green or at 50 or 12% moisture content but also(e. g. Canada) when air-dry.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Xylologie (Étude des bois)
DEF

Densité calculée d'après le poids anhydre et le volume de l'échantillon de bois au moment où il est éprouvé, c.-à-d., dans la pratique, lorsque le bois est vert, ou lorsqu'il contient 50 ou 12 % d'humidité.

OBS

Au Canada, on appelle densité nominale la densité calculée d'après le poids anhydre et le volume sec à l'air.

Record 6 1998-04-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Wood Drying
DEF

Of wood dried to constant weight in a ventilated oven at a temperature above the boiling point of water, generally 103 [+ or -] 2C°.

CONT

... wood is said to be bone dry when it ceases to lose weight after drying in an oven at 100°C.

OBS

bone dry : According to the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources in its publication :"Tree Power. An Assessment of the Energy Potential of Forest Biomass in Canada", 1978, p. 35, oven-dry wood has a higher moisture content(8%) than bone dry wood(0%).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Séchage du bois
DEF

Qualifie le bois qui a été séché au four à 103° [+ ou -] 2 °C (207° [+ ou -] 4 °F) jusqu'à ce que son poids reste constant.
