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, mass is calculated as volume multiplied by density after normalizing the units to cubic meters and kilograms. The resulting page multiplier is 0.00521588 lb per tbsp (US).
Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
