Moisture meter correction factors for high temperature dimension lumber

Exposure of softwood lumber to temperatures of 82° C or higher during kiln drying affects the electrical properties of that material. This, in turn, affects readings taken with a D.C. resistance moisture meter. This study was designed to develop a correction factor to account for this effect. The present correction factors were found to overestimate actual moisture content by 0.6 to 4.5 percent moisture content. A new table of correction factors has been generated for both black spruce and jack pine. Implications of applying this new correction factor in industry are also discussed.
