Moisture meter correction factors for dahurian larch from the Russian Far East
1996
Milota, M.R. | Gupta, R.
Species correction factors for resistance- and capacitance-type moisture meters were determined for dahurian larch (Larix dahurica) from the Russian Far East. The correction factors for the Wagner L-600 series of capacitance-type moisture meters range from 0.1 percent at 6 percent moisture content (MC) to -2.9 percent at 22 percent MC. The correction factors for most resistance-type moisture meters range from -0.3 to 0.9 percent over the same moisture range. In practice, using a -1 percent correction factor for the capacitance-type meter and no correction factor for the resistance-type meter would be adequate for properly kiln-dried lumber in the 10 to 15 percent average MC range.
