2. Hygroscopy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygroscopy

   Hygroscopicity is a general term used to describe a material's ability to absorb moisture from the environment. [31] There is no standard quantitative definition of hygroscopicity, so generally the qualification of hygroscopic and non-hygroscopic is determined on a case-by-case basis.

3. Equilibrium moisture content - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilibrium_moisture_content

   Equilibrium moisture content of wood versus humidity and temperature, according to the Hailwood-Horrobin equation. The equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of a hygroscopic material surrounded at least partially by air is the moisture content at which the material is neither gaining nor losing moisture.

4. Moisture analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_analysis

   In this technique, a sample of material is weighed, heated in an oven for an appropriate period, cooled in the dry atmosphere of a desiccator, and then reweighed. If the volatile content of the solid is primarily water, the loss on drying technique gives a good measure of moisture content. [ 5 ]

5. Moisture meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_meter

   Moisture meters are measuring instruments used to measure the percentage of water in a given substance, as physical properties are strongly affected by moisture content and high moisture content for a period of time may progressively degrade a material. Meters exist for various substances, including wood, building materials, concrete, and soil.

6. Lumber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumber

   Wood is a hygroscopic material, which means it naturally absorbs and releases water to balance its internal moisture content with the surrounding environment. The moisture content of wood is measured by the weight of water as a percentage of the oven-dry weight of the wood fiber. The key to controlling decay is controlling moisture.

7. Fence (woodworking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fence_(woodworking)

   A fence is a part of many woodworking tools; it is typically used to guide or secure a workpiece while it is being sawn, planed, routed or marked. Fences play an important role for both accuracy and safety. Fences are usually straight and vertical, and made from metal, wood or plastic. [1]: 194

8. Moisture vapor transmission rate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_vapor...

   Typical rates in aluminium foil laminates may be as low as 0.001 g/m 2 /day, whereas the rate in fabrics can measure up to several thousand g/m 2 /day. [citation needed] Often, barrier testing is conducted on a sheet of material. Calculations based on that can be useful when designing completed structures, clothing, and packages.

9. Dynamic vapor sorption - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_vapor_sorption

   The moisture sorption properties of pharmaceutical materials such as excipients, drug formulations and packaging films are recognized as critical factors in determining their storage, stability, processing and application performance. [1] [2] Further, vapor sorption experiments can be used to study hydrate [3] and solvate [4] formation.
