Consider the following statements:
Fibre saturation point in wood is reached when
1. Free water is removed.
2. Cell water is removed.
3. Shrinkage of wood is rapid,
4. Strength gain is rapid.
Which of these statements are correct?
Fibre saturation point is the moisture content at which all of the free water is removed, the cell
cavities are empty but the cell walls are still completely saturated. Any drying below the fibre
saturation point results in shrinkage, sudden and fast drying of timber results in the removal of
water from cell walls and the consequent shrinkage causes cracking.
