Moisture Regain and Moisture Content of Different Fibers.

#Moisture Regain and #Moisture Content of Different Fibers

Moisture Regain: It is the ratio between the weight of water with the oven dry weight of the material express in percentage.

Moisture Content: It is the ratio between the weight of water with the total weight of the material express in percentage.
