Determination of wood moisture properties using CT-scanner in a controlled environment

• The aim of the present work was to examine the existing algorithm for the moisture content calculation and also to use this algorithm to analyze and compare the moisture flow data for high and low temperature drying. The use of the existing algorithm for the dry weight moisture content on density data from the CT-scanning during high and low temperature drying in the climate chamber showed that this method is a powerful tool for analyzing the moisture flow inside the wood piece. Furthermore, the new CT-scanner together with the climate chamber gave unique results, as it has not been possible to study high temperature drying with this method before.
