Degradation of wood is a complex problem dependent on many parameters, but especially the presence of excessive amounts of water causes many problems.The objective of this work was to study the influence of various parameters on water absorption and desorption in Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst). Focus has been on parameters that are measurable in the industrial chain and that affect liquid water absorption and desorption in end grain of Norway spruce. Most damage occurs in the end grain on products exposed outdoors, and this is often due to liquid water absorption.Computed tomography (CT) scanning and image processing were used to measure liquid water in end grain for 1, 3, 7 and 14 days absorption and desorption in room climate.
