  1. 1Input ambient humidity and temperature
  2. 2Calculate equilibrium moisture content
  3. 3Estimate effects on dimensional stability and strength

Worked Examples

Инпут
65% RH, 20°C: MC ≈ 12%
Резултат
Typical indoor moisture content for stability

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Assuming dry (0% MC) is possible
  • Not allowing equilibration time

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does moisture matter for wood?

Swelling/shrinkage causes warping, checking; moisture above fiber saturation (~28%) enables decay.
