Calibration Table for Wood
The calibration data in the below table is based on standard tests by oven
drying commercial samples of the various wood species, between 7%
and fiber saturation. Above fiber saturation point (25%-30%) readings are
approximate and only generally apply to wood that has been dried and
re-hydrated. Readings higher by 1%-2% may be obtained where wood
has been impregnated with a water-borne preservative. High readings
obtained with some plywood of peculiar composition must be treated with
caution. For measuring building materials select scale A and refer to the
following table so you can obtain the building material moisture value.
