الحصول على السعرMoisture content of wood shavings was determined for three western species: Douglasfir, western red cedar and western juniper. According to ASTM D4442, oven drying can drive volatile compounds out of some species of wood. When this occurs, the wood weighs less than if just the water had been removed. When the moisture content is calculated, the value is too high. Usually, the more odorous the ...
الحصول على السعرDetermination of Moisture Content. Water is a pervasive liquid. It has an ability to attach itself to most materials. This moisture can stick to the outside of the substance. This is known as free or surface moisture. Moisture can also get locked up in the molecular structure. This is known as bound moisture. These differences in moisture content often require different moisture analysis ...
الحصول على السعرMoisture Content % = (weight of water / ovendry weight of wood) x 100. For instance, suppose that a freshly sawn piece of Eastern Cottonwood (Populus deltoides) weighed 50 lbs. in its initial green state, and ended up weighing only 20 lbs. when fully dried in an oven—this means that a total of 30 lbs. of water was lost in the drying process. So using the equation above: 30 lbs. (weight of ...
