Drying
The process of removing moisture from lumber to improve its serviceability in use.
Defect - An imperfection developing during drying that decreases the value of a piece of lumber.
Degrade - A reduction in lumber grade and volume as a result of drying defects
High Temperature - In kiln-drying wood, use of dry-bulb temperatures of 100 C (212 F) or more.
Loss - The reduction in volume and grade quality that can be attributed to the drying process.
Pre-treatment - Special process taken before drying or early in the drying process to accelerate drying rate, modify color, or prevent cheques and other drying defects.
Rate - The loss of moisture from lumber or other wood products per unit of time. Drying rate is generally expressed in percentage of moisture content lost per hour or day
Record - A daily or weekly entry of dryer or kiln operation information, which for example can include sample weight,
moisture content, and temperature readings or recorder-controller charts.
Schedule - A sequence of controlled air velocity, temperature and humidity conditions in a kiln or predryer that
result in a gradual decrease in moisture content of the wood.
Shed - An unheated building for drying lumber and other wood products. The building may be open on all sides or closed.
Stress - The force per unit area that occurs in some zones of drying wood. It results from the uneven shrinkage that occurs with normal moisture gradients and from the set that develops in wood.
