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 0.00283495 m^3 per lb.
Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
