Teak Wood Moisture Standards

No.

1. Where can I get a chart showing adequate or acceptable levels for teak wood temperatures? Because I do not know if 1.6°C is an acceptable wood temperature or not?

RTFM.

I gather English is not your first language and you are having difficulty understanding the manual.

After reading what you have to say about the manual, I think it says that the meter will be accurate at a temperature of 70 F (20C). If the temperature of the wood is different when you use the meter it may not be accurate.

----------- I think his English is just fine. The problem is with his sense of humor.

No. Multiplying your moisture reading by the base temperature gives you nothing of any value. ____________

Seems to me that what you need is a table that will adjust the reading you get (regardless of wood specie) for the ambient temperature; that is, adjust it from current temperature to the 70F norm. You don't need a table for teak specifically.

He should be advised that the cabal advice rate is $100/hr @ 72F.

It's now 90F here, so he now owes the Cabal $100 x (90 - 72) = $1800.

Please remit ...

I'm not so sure about that. The species may also be a factor in the proper calibration of the measurement.

He also needs to know how dry the teak _should_ be before shipping.

Well, although the smart @ss comments weren't neccessary, they were nevertheless funny :)

Please understand that I've never had to deal with anything like this before.

Thank you all for your help!
