..it is highly unlikely that a moisture content of 1.1 % by weight will be exceeded in service.
That strikes me as a very strange figure but I can't put my finger on why exactly....

For that much water to get into a composite part aren't we talking about water getting into voids? I mean, I can't see that much water being in the resin when the part is being made!

If we are talking about water penetration into voids or hollow parts why would there be such a precise expectation as to how much that would be limited to?

Any experts out there know where this figure comes from?
