Abstract

The surface moisture content (SMC) of wood was determined by a colorimetric technique. Optical properties of cobalt chloride (CoCl₂) hydrate, whose color changes with surrounding humidity was used for this colorimetric technique. The colorimetric CoCl₂ treated wood technique for determining surface moisture content through color degree change in CIE L*a*b* color space was experimentally verified.
