Quality Assessment of Air-dried Teakwood Boards Using Moisture Content Gradients

Abstract: The determination of moisture content gradients is one of the most important steps for assessing the quality of wood drying. The general aim of this work was to study the quality of air-dried teakwood boards according to the gradients of moisture content in thickness and length. Six representative boards (40 × 180 × 2,300 mm) were sampled from a stack air-dried under shelter, divided into 30 equal parts in length and measured with a resistance moisture meter, resulting in four treatments: two depths (1/4 and 1… Show more

“…Teak wood does not present much difficulty in drying, as this process is considered slow, with very few defects occurring. The air drying quality of 40 mm teak wood planks can be considered good for a shelter condition, mainly for two reasons: i) the average moisture content thickness gradients were comparable to those reported in the literature for drying in greenhouse with thinner boards; ii) the range of moisture content between the boards was satisfactory for a drying process in an uncontrolled environment (Batista et. al.…”
