The Relationship between Relative Humidity and Moisture Content

In this seventh installment of Wagner Meters’ Wood Moisture Measurement webinar series, presenter Charlie Phillips from Pittsburg State University explains how relative humidity and wood moisture content are tied together, since wood constantly gains or loses moisture to reach equilibrium with the surrounding air. Knowing that relationship helps you predict how wood will behave in a given environment and store it at the right moisture level.
