Measuring Moisture Content in Wood Log/Trunk
Measuring Moisture Content in Wood Log/Trunk
(OP)
I am researching on a way to measure the moisture content (MC) in the wood log/trunk as supplied but yet still struggling to find a best solution. I want something quick and effective, such as an electrical moisture meters but have not found an appropriate meters for such application. Can anybody please help?

The principal advantages of the electrical method compared with the oven-drying method are speed and convenience. Only a few seconds are required for the determination, and the piece of wood being tested is not cut or damaged, except for driving electrode needle points into the wood when using conductance-type meters.
