The moisture content test is performed on a wood specimen and the results are found as following: Mass of wood specimen in green condition: 323.0 g Mass of oven-dry specimen: 226 g Find the moisture content of the green wood.
A wood element had 150 mm diameter (radial direction) and a length of 1 m. The moisture content of the wood is 130% when it was prepared. After seasoning, the moisture content was reduced to 5%. Find the diameter and length of the seasoned element if the moisture- shrinkage relation follows the figure below.(Hint: you should use the curve for radial shrinkage for diameter and longitudinal shrinkage for length change in figure, FSP=28% according to the figure)
