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.

Q

PH Test

A

Performed to gauge the alkalinity of the concrete, which normally has a PH level from 12-13.3. A Special paper strip is applied to the surface of the concrete; in order for resilient flooring to be applied, concrete needs to have a PH no higher than 9.
