For modelling resistance-type moisture meters, which have been calibrated by the manufacturer, in moisture contents above the fibre saturation point or, in other words, for more accurate recalibration in this moisture range, specimens made of black alder, silver birch and common aspen with dimensions 100 x 60 x 60 mm (length x width x thickness) were used. The experiments made use of resistance-type moisture meters like Gann HT 85T, FMD-6 and NDT James manufactured by leading companies. A total of approximately 1,300 single measurements were carried out, on the basis of which nine calibration models were prepared.
