Density of Wood as Function of Moisture Content Equation and Calculator

The following formula can be used to find the density of wood in lb/ft3 as a function of its moisture content.

ρ = 62.4 ( G / ( 1 + G x 0.009 x M ) ) x ( 1 + M / 100 )

Where:

ρ = density, (lb/ft3)
G = specific gravity of wood, (lb/ft3)
M = moisture content expressed in percent.
