Abstract

If given enough time, the moisture content of wood will reach an equilibrium with its surrounding environment. The temperature and relative humidity (RH) of the surrounding air will establish equilibrium moisture content (EMC) conditions, and the moisture content of the wood in that environment will approach a value determined by the RH. This article introduces an Excel spreadsheet that will calculate an estimate of the EMC based on any one of the following three pairs of data: RH and dry-bulb temperature, wet-bulb temperature and dry-bulb temperature, or dew-point temperature and dry-bulb temperature.
