    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This document specifies a non destructive method for estimating the moisture content of a piece of sawn timber. The standard describes the conditions which shall be met by a capacitance measuring system to derive a moisture content estimate for individual pieces of timber.The standard applies to sawn timber and timber which has been planed or surfaced by other means.
