equilibrium moisture content technical , EMC (abbreviation)

Modelling fuel response time and equilibrium moisture content from field data.

Figure 1 shows the equilibrium moisture content of wood at various humidity levels and temperatures.

An equilibrium moisture content survey of timber in Queensland. 26p. 41.

Generally for Melbourne; floor boards reach an equilibrium moisture content of between 10 to 12%.

Generally this will involve adequate cleaning of the samples and conditioning to equilibrium moisture content.

Equilibrium moisture content will normally be in the range of 10% - 12% when used in building intended for human occupancy.

Once the equilibrium moisture content is achieved in the pavement, Polyroad prevents further wetting up of the soil.

Model comparison of equilibrium moisture content of prunes in the temperature range of 15 - 45oC.

Ideally, wood is dried to that equilibrium moisture content as will later (in service) be attained by the wood.

These relative humidities correspond to equilibrium moisture contents of wood of 19 and 15 percent, respectively.

In practice this never occurs because most lumber in housing stabilizes at an equilibrium moisture content between 10 and 15 per cent.

After assembly, the I-joist is end-trimmed and heat-cured or left at room temperature to reach approximately equilibrium moisture content.

Equilibrium moisture content point is the point when grain no longer losing or gaining water when contacting with drying air.

Equilibrium moisture contents and absorption rates were measured by a student group at temperatures and humidities that were appropriate for the application.

Keey et al. (2000) use a different definition of the fibre saturation point (equilibrium moisture content of wood in an environment of 99% relative humidity).

In the maritime climate in which I live, air drying is slow and only gets wood down to about 15% EMC (equilibrium moisture content).

The product moisture content is then constant at the "equilibrium moisture content", where it is, in practice, in equilibrium with the dehydrating medium.

Equilibrium Moisture Content Under constant temperature and humidity conditions timber will reach a moisture content where it neither gains nor loses moisture.

The grain below drying zone is in equilibrium moisture content with drying air, which means it is safe for storage; while the grain above still needs drying.

Equilibrium will occur at the equilibrium moisture content (as defined earlier) of wood when the chemical potential of the wood becomes equal to that of the surrounding air.

Rough turning involves turning the piece only to its general shape, leaving enough thickness so that after turning it can be allowed to dry to equilibrium moisture content and distort.

Standing dead trees may be cut one month or several decades after they died, so the term "dead standing" does not necessarily mean the logs have dried down to equilibrium moisture content.

Wood is normally dried to a point where it is in equilibrium with the atmospheric moisture content or relative humidity, and since this varies so does the equilibrium moisture content.

The isothermal adsorption and desorption of water vapor by forest fuels is represented with a two-parameter model based on an exponential relationship between Gibbs free energy change and equilibrium moisture content.

Within about four years, green logs which are part of a completed log house reach equilibrium with local conditions and have an equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of between 6% and 12%.
