25
Titration test
measures alkalinity in addition to pH testing on concrete floors prior to applying tile adhesives or coatings measures moisture level
26
Hygrometer test

27
polyethylene sheet test
surface-level test for moisture in concrete that involves taping a sheet of polyethylene to the concrete and waiting for condensation to form ------------------------------------------- not that reliable as is detects moisture on the top portion of the slab & doesn't quantify the amount of moisture
28
pitch (carpet)
number of ends of surface yarn in a 27" width convert to gauge -- # of stitches/27 = gauge of 1/(whatever # you get) higher the pitch = more dense the carpet

aka net assignable area the space a client needs for specific functions does not include areas for circulation, partitions, incidental spaces, and other required building amenities (bathrooms) measured from the centerline of interior partitions of a space total net area = all programmed areas added up
62
Total Rentable Area
all occupant areas of a shared building space - excluding walls & major vertical penetrations RSF=USF(useable sq ft) + prorated share of building common areas
63
Gross Area
includes exterior wall thickness, all vertical penetrations, basements, and attached garages excludes: detached parking, loading docks, any structure outside the building line measured to the outside finished surface of permanent exterior walls
