Other more stringent kiln-dried standards exist but KD-19 is the most common. KD-19 (Kiln Dried 19%) lumber will have an average moisture content somewhere around 15%. This means that it has to have a moisture content below 19%. Most building lumber sold at home stores is kiln dried to some extent. Average equilibrium for interior wood in US ~8%.Here are some typical moisture contents of lumber: Moisture Contentįinally, enter in the moisture content of the lumber and hit calculate. Now you can enter the length of the lumber in question followed by the number of pieces of that lumber. Note that if you select from the list of nominal dimensions, the board feet and volume will be calculated using the nominal dimensions instead of the actual dimensions. For example, a 1×12 that is 1 foot long will equal 1 board foot and 0.0833 cubic feet (cft). Here is a table showing nominal sizes vs actual sizes for reference: Nominal Size (inches) You can either choose from a list by nominal dimensions or enter in the actual dimensions manually.
