Moisture
Content

There are several methods for the


evaluation of moisture content.
Today we took in consideration only
two methods.

Oven Dry Method


B. Electrical Method

A.

Performing the Test


Sample Selection
Weighing
Drying

Conditioning oven

Electrical
Method

The electrical method of determining


the moisture content of wood uses
the relationships between moisture
content and measurable electrical
properties

Advantages
The principal advantages of the
electrical method compared with the
oven-drying method are speed and
convenience. Only a few seconds are
required for the determination, and
the piece of wood being tested is not
cut or damaged, except for driving
electrode needle points into the
wood when using conductance-type
meters.
