f. The following moisture content levels are often
quoted in the wood industry and should be used as a
guide only. Please contact industry associations and
manufacturers for their specifications.
● Furniture and Interior wood: Readings below 7% in
locations of low relative humidity and 10% to 12%
may be acceptable where the relative humidity is
higher.
● Exterior wood: 10% to 15% depending on local
humidity levels. Generally, wood with moisture
content in excess of 23% to 25% is susceptible to rot.
● Wood moisture content in excess of 18% to 20% may
provide an environment for termite and woodboring
insects to thrive and multiply. Wood at these high
levels can also support mold and biological growth.
● Wood at about 27% to 28% moisture content is
considered to have reached fiber saturation point.
g. Avoid taking readings on wood from the top of
a stack stored outside as these may be affected by
surface moisture from recent rain.
h. When taking readings in chemically treated wood,
it is advisable to allow for possible effects that the
treatment may have on readings.
