Moisture Mapping is a crucial technique in the field of wood preservation, ensuring optimal treatment and longevity of wooden structures.
The moisture content of wood refers to the amount of water it contains in relation to its weight. It plays a significant role in how wood responds to treatment.
The ideal moisture content for treating wood varies depending on the type of treatment being applied. For pressure treatment, a moisture content between 15% and 30% is recommended. This range allows for proper penetration and absorption of the preservative.
