Q

Calcium Chloride test

A

common and inexpensive test method of determining concrete moisture, conducted by placing a standard mass of the referenced material underneath a plastic cover and sealing it to the concrete floor, then measuring the weight of the standard mass after a 72-hr period, also called the ‘moisture dome test’

Q

polyethylene sheet test

A

a 1.5 foot square of plastic is laid atop the concrete for a period of atleast 16 hours. If condensation forms on the underside of the plastic, it is considered to be unacceptable for resilient flooring.
