Improvement of moisture content measuring systems and testing strategies to enable precise process and quality control of kiln dried timber - IMCOPCO.
Abstract
The objectives of this project are to analyse present and future requirements in Europe with respect to wood drying quality, to test and improve in-kiln moisture sensing systems for better process and target moisture content control, to test and improve the reliability and performance of off-line and in-line MC-measuring systems, to design practical testing methods and strategies for assessment of drying quality that can be used in quality management systems based on ISO 9000, to focus all these activities on the development of a new CEN standard on 'Drying Quality Assessment of Sawn Timber and Processed Wood'.
