Density of Wood

Then density of wood as function of moisture content can be expressed with the formula below:

ρ = 62.4 (SG / (1 + SG 0.009 m))(1 + m/100)     (1)

where 

ρ = density of wood (lb/ft³)

SG = Specific Gravity of wood

m = moisture content in wood (%)

• 1 lb/ft³ = 16.018 kg/m³ = 0.016 g/cm³ = 0.00926 oz/in³ = 2.57 oz/gal (Imperial) = 2.139 oz/gal (U.S.) = 0.0005787 lb/in³ = 27 lb/yd³ = 0.161 lb/gal (Imperial) = 0.134 lb/gal (U.S) = 0.0121 ton/yd³
