Abstract
The drying times of full-length (8-ft (2.44-m)) sugar maple sapwood bo ards were compared to those of matched, short [11.5-in. (292-mm)] boar ds at eight temperature, relative humidity, and air velocity combinati ons. The results showed little practical difference in the drying time s of the boards. We conclude that studies on drying time can be made m ore efficient by reducing the amount of material and the size of the d rying equipment.
