Step-by-step calculation

    Formula

    Oven-dry weight = Wet weight ÷ (1 + MC initial ÷ 100) Water removed = Oven-dry weight × (MC initial − MC final) ÷ 100 Final weight = Oven-dry weight × (1 + MC final ÷ 100)

    Worked example

    Calculated with the default values shown in the form.

      Technical notes

      • Moisture content here is on an oven-dry basis, the usual basis for veneer and plywood.
      • Dryer evaporation capacity (kg water/h) divided into this figure gives the drying time needed.
