Methodology

Wood (Balsa) density and calculation basis

Evidence status: needs-review.

Wood density depends on species and moisture content.

method: Wood properties depend on species and moisture; dry-mass/green-volume specific gravity is distinguished

Source basis: USDA Forest Products Laboratory, Rowell (2005), Moisture Properties, chapter 4. Chapter 4 p.1: balsa example. https://research.fs.usda.gov/treesearch/download/22044.pdf Applicability: conditional-comparison.

Specify species, moisture and apparent-volume convention.

The 160 kg/m³ balsa example does not state its moisture basis; do not assign 12% moisture from a convention.

For this direction, volume is calculated as mass divided by density after normalizing the units to kilograms and cubic meters. The resulting page multiplier is 1.651075 gal (US) per kg.

Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
