Le bois vert, plus ou moins gorgé d'eau [...] perd cette eau naturellement lorsqu'il est exposé à l'air : son degré d'humidité s'abaisse jusqu'à être en équilibre avec celui de l'atmosphère. Dans nos régions, où l'état hygrométrique moyen est de 70 % et la température moyenne 15 °C, l'équilibre hygrométrique correspond à un taux d'humidité du bois de 15 %. 7, record 1, French, - degr%C3%A9%20d%27humidit%C3%A9%20d%27%C3%A9quilibre
