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.
