American English, by the original spelling of fiber and by the unimpeachable fact that the graphs and examples are in Farenheit, which no self-respecting British person would admit to using.
- The graphs are labelled in Celsius. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:37, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
Even in equilibrium there is moisture gain and loss; it is the net gain (and loss) that is zero
[edit]The current text contains:
"The equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of a hygroscopic material surrounded at least partially by air is the moisture content at which the material is neither gaining nor losing moisture."
I propose changing this into:
"The equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of a hygroscopic material surrounded at least partially by air is the moisture content at which there is no net gain (and no net loss) of moisture in the material."
or equivalent.
Reason: gaining and loosing do continue at equilibrium; it is the net amount of moisture in the material that remains the same.Redav (talk) 15:55, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
