What the weight of wood with diameter 4feet and length 16 feet?
This depends on the species of wood and the moisture content of that piece of wood.
What are the domestic uses of a wood moisture meter?
Wood moisture meters can be used to determine the appropriateness of a piece of wood for installation of a wood floor. Such meters can be purchased on Amazon.
What is weight of a 2 by 6 12 feet long?
The only way to determine the weight of a 12 foot long 2 x 6 is to weigh it. It can not be calculated mathematically due to varying wood densities and moisture content.
What does 'jique' mean?
jiquinoun Cuban timber tree with hard wood very resistant to moisture
Where will you find 75 percent of Sandal wood in the world?
Karnataka, India or Saiberia, Russia
How does a moisture meter give a reading of the moisture content of wood?
By passing an electrical current from one pin to the other. The greater the moisture content, the higher the resistance. By measuring the resistance, it gives an estimate of the average moisture content. I think. 2009/03/14 - Correct, but exactly backwards .... Moisture (water) can be a conductor. Dry wood is an insulator. The higher the moisture content, the lower the resistance and vice-versa. Wood with a high moisture content gives a low resistance to the tester and conducts the test voltage better.
How many bone dry metric tons are there in 30000 tons of wood chip at 45 percent moisture content?
30000 tonnes of wood chip 45%mc = 16,500 BDMT
What is the requirement of wood pellets moisture content after cooling?
Generally, the requirement of moisture content after cooling is 12%-15%, and not more than 18%.
Does hickory wood conduct electricity?
Depends on the moisture content of the wood. When any wood is "green", the mositure content is high, and it will conduct. When dry, it does not conduct well.
What is the shear strength of oak wood?
Is highly variable depending on wood type and moisture content.
Why does wood shrink?
Wood shrinks due to loss of water within the wood cells as it dries out, making the cells thinner, and therefore reducing the total volume of the cells. When furniture is made properly, the wood is pre-dried to about 7 percent moisture content (freshly cut live wood is 25 percent moisture content or more) before made into furniture. Throughout the moist summer seasons and the dry winter seasons, wood can expand and contract from absorbing and releasing moisture from the air. Applying finish to the wood helps to reduce the amount the wood absorbs and releases, and constructing furniture so that it can expand and contract throughout the seasons helps furniture last longer.

When does wooden furniture expand?
When the atmospheric humidity exceeds the moisture content of the wood.
Can branches bend?
It depends on the branch's moisture content. Dry branches break if you try to bend them. The greater the moisture content of the branch, the further you can bend it before it breaks. Manufacturers who need to bend wood, for example when making musical instruments or wooden wheels, put it in a steamer to increase the moisture content. Immediately after removing the wood from the steamer, the worker bends the wood into the shape he/she wants then clamps the wood to hold that shape until it dries.
What is an acceptable moisture content for hardwood floors?
An acceptable moisture content runs anywhere from 4 to 18% depending on a variety of factors including the species of wood, where the wood floor is installed geographically, and the time of year. As a result, most wood used for flooring is kiln dried to 6 to 9% moisture content to assist in keeping it from getting so wet it contracts and so dry it shrinks.
Does wood shrink when it dries?
Wood shrinks due to loss of water within the wood cells as it dries out, making the cells thinner, and therefore reducing the total volume of the cells. When furniture is made properly, the wood is pre-dried to about 7 percent moisture content (freshly cut live wood is 25 percent moisture content or more) before made into furniture. Throughout the moist summer seasons and the dry winter seasons, wood can expand and contract from absorbing and releasing moisture from the air.

What name is given to the process that reduces moisture content of wood before it can be used?
Kiln drying
