#2 Gradients and Wet Pockets
Q: What about gradients and wet pockets?
A: Although the various drying processes
for green lumber can leave wet cores and
pockets, moisture continues to pass from
ber to ber within the wood until it has
equalized throughout the whole board.
Determining if a board or load of lumber
will equalize within tolerance levels can be
difcult and tricky, but Wagner Moisture
Meters provide this information auto-
matically. Penetrating deep into the
wood, they mathematically determine
equalized moisture content and allow
the user to check truckloads of material
in minutes. For even more convenience,
many companies use their Wagner Hand-
Held Meters to read through the plastic
wrapping around the wood on new
deliveries before they allow unloading.
