Equilibrium wood moisture content
– equilibrium moisture
content
If wood is stored in a particular climate for a long period, it takes up
the moisture matching this climate, which is termed equilibrium
moisture content or equilibrium wood moisture content.
On reaching the equilibrium moisture content, the wood no longer
loses moisture if the surrounding conditions remain the same and
also does not take up any moisture.
