(a) The unbound moisture in the wet lumber before drying in lb water/lb bone-dry lumber.
(b) The bound moisture in the wet lumber before drying in lb water/lb bone-dry lumber.
(c) The free moisture in the wet lumber before drying, referred to as the final dried lumber, in lb water/lb bone-& lumber.
(d) The lb of moisture evaporated per lb of bone-dry wood.
