(R-square = 0.95) as follows:
AF = 8.77 + (0.25 * MM) - (15.86 * SG) -
(0.62 * SG * MM)
in which:
AF = Adjustment Factor
MM = Meter Reading
SG = Species average Specic Gravity
in oven dry weight and 12% moisture
content volume basis.
The species adjustments provide the
adjusted moisture measurements that
are based on the species adjustment
determined using the species adjustment
equation, with rounding to the nearest 0.5.
Wood is not a uniform material. Specic
gravity of solid-sawn lumber varies within
