Effect of specimen structural orientation on the moisture content-water potential relationship of wood
1995
Cloutier, A. | Tremblay, C. | Fortin, Y.
The boundary desorption curve of the moisture content-water potential relationship of aspen sapwood was determined at 20 degrees C by the tension plate and pressure membrane methods for three specimen structural orientations and four imposed water potential values. The results show that the relationship is independent the wood structural direction considered. Also, they further demonstrate that the discrepancies observed in a previous study between the moisture content-water potential relationships obtained with specimens of different structural orientations were due to a lack of equilibrium.
