, a term used to describe the appearance of wood flooring strips that have lost
moisture from the edges, leaving the edges lower than the center of the
wood strip (plank)
term used to express the weight of moisture per pound of air.
7000 grains of moisture equals one pound.
Water wighs 8.34 lbs per US gallon (128 oz, 3.79 liters)
7000 grains equals arrox one pint (16oz)
pre-determined drying goal based on the moisture content (MC) of structure in an
unaffected area; pre-loss normal MC, or average MC for your particular area.

response, specifically activating lymphocytes, which are the body's infection-
fighting white blood cells

the amount of water by weight in solid materials, as compared to an oven
dried sample of that material. The average MC of interior wood in North
America is 10%
the study of the relationship between air, humidity (relative and specific),
temperature and their effect on various materials and human health and comfort.
the point at which evaporation and dehumidification are balanced at optimum
levels. In other words, more moisture is not being evaporated into the air than the
dehumidification methods can remove.
the amount of moisture in the air, expressed as a percentage of the air's total
moisture holding capacity at a specific temperature.
