This Standard sets out the oven-drying method for determining the moisture content of specimens cut from solid timber, and the procedure for sampling of timber lots. This Standard also specifies requirements for the methods of estimating the local moisture content of solid timber using resistance meter and capacitance meter.

This Standard sets out the oven-drying method (Clause 4) for determining the moisture content of specimens cut from solid timber, and the procedure for sampling of timber lots (Appendix A). This Standard also specifies requirements for the methods of estimating the local moisture content of solid timber using resistance meter (Clause 5) and capacitance meter (Clause 6).NOTES: 1 For advice on the use of resistance meters, see Appendix B.2 For advice on the use of capacitance meters, see Appendix C.3 For determination of the moisture content of plywood, see AS/NZS 2098.1.4 For determination of the moisture content of reconstituted wood-based panels, see AS/NZS 4266.3. 5 The oven-drying method may also provide a useful estimation of moisture content for other non-solid products such as engineered wood flooring and bamboo-based flooring6 A bibliography listing sources for moisture content correction is given in Appendix G.7 When using meters that are not covered by this Standard, user should follow manufacturer’s instructions and check literature for additional information that may contribute to understanding the limitations of that particular meter.
