Weight of treated wood 2

[dpa]

Does anyone know the maximum possible percent moisture content of wood? In this case I need to calculate the weight of pressure treated hem-fir that is constantly exposed to water.

Thanks,

Thanks BOO,

That first one was a great resource. It contains the kind of information that would be very hard to find because it is usually not a concern. But when you need it you really need it and did I ever. I could have searched for weeks without finding this info. You really saved me a lot of work. I posted a Gold Star for your answer. Hope I can come up with something this helpful for someone else someday.
